Editing Modernism and Postmodernism (section)

* '''Modernism''' — A cultural movement (late 19th-mid 20th century) that "Broke" with "Tradition" and "Searched" for "New Forms" (e.g., 'Abstract Art,' 'Functional Architecture').
* '''Postmodernism''' — A late-20th-century movement characterized by "Skepticism" toward "Grand Narratives" and an "Emphasis" on "Irony," "Parody," and "Relativism."
* '''Grand Narrative''' (Lyotard) — A "Big Story" (like 'Science,' 'Marxism,' or 'Religion') that "Explains Everything" and "Promises Progress." Postmodernism says these are "Dead."
* '''Deconstruction''' (Derrida) — The "Method" of "Analyzing Text" to show that its "Meaning" is "Unstable" and "Contradictory."
* '''Relativism''' — The belief that "Truth" and "Morals" are "Not Absolute" but are "Relative" to "Culture," "Language," or "Perspective."
* '''Fragmentation''' — The "Modernist" style of "Breaking the Story" into "Pieces" (e.g., 'Cubism' or 'The Waste Land').
* '''Metafiction''' — A story that "Knows it is a story" and "Talks to the reader" about the "Act of Writing."
* '''Simulacrum''' (Baudrillard) — A "Copy" with "No Original" (e.g., 'Disneyland' or 'A Filtered Instagram Photo'): when the "Fake" becomes "More Real" than the "Real."
* '''Subjectivity''' — The focus on the "Internal Mind" rather than the "External World."
* '''Disruption''' — The goal of Modernism: "Making it New" (Ezra Pound) to "Shock" the "Sleeping World."
