Postmodernism and Marxism

postmodernism-
A style that breaks from conventions and freely mixes and blends old styles.

key words:
Pastiche- parody
Bricolage- collection of images
irony- self-consciously does the opposite
reflexivity- refers back to itself
fragmentation- media is broken up into non chronological order (time)
intertexuality- texts make references with other texts

Marxism- 19th century- his ideas deal with social and economic power relationships and have been influential in economics, politics and sociology.

power was held within elites which needed the working class (minorities) to work and give them the power, the workers need the elites to give instructions. this was to maximise profits. (capitalism)
