A definition for "post-modernism": The concepts Modern and Post-Modern are from philosofical origin. The word Modern ("hodie" - today in latin) gives us the idea of the present and inovation. It sends us at the occidental society (commercial/industrial/banks/scientifical/urban/civil rights/rationalism), since 14th century. Post-Modern portrays the globalized/informatic capitalism. Here the extreme individualism and the uncontrolled consumism are elected standard behavior. In the Art, I explain: The Modern Art characterizes by radical inovations and artistical and social utopic ideals (1st half of the 20th century until 1990). The Post-Modern Art (since 1990) is a fusion of tecnichcs: experimentalism, past, pop, folklore, ethnics, mass-media etc. Frequently indistinct and, sometimes, acritic. Yet the philosophers didn`t arrive at end of the debats. Edson Tadeu Ortolan [log in to unmask]
