- "After the Modern"- it is hard to define

- Feminisms and Post structuralism are contained within Postmodernism.
- "If Modernism was concerned with progress, the Postmodernist would ask 'Progress as defined by whom'"
- Photography becomes cultural literacy and currency- we strongly start to believe a photograph more than reality. - our understanding of history, self, reality is based on a photograph.
- Postmodernism invites cross pollination to mix medias.
- Umberto Eco- definition from "unfortunately post modernism is at erm bon a tout faire [good for all things] I have the impression that it is implied today to anything the user…"
