Waiting for the Sound of Postmodern Art (A Historical Study)

摘要

The shift from modernism to postmodernism remains an interesting discussion. One of the approaches in this notion is to view postmodern in a constructivist or revisionary model. In this case, postmodernism serves as a follow-up of modernism. From a historical perspective, the total historical model may no longer be relevant due to its dependence on the diachronic-synchronic discourse, that continuously extends in time. On the other hand, the discussion on postmodernism always highlights the partial aspects that focus more on local narration and are ultimately opposed to grand narration. Still in the context of postmodernism from the historical perspective, art is seen as a Ferris wheel. As various segments of art are still discussed as social realities, there needs to be a reconstruction of postmodern power of creation that constantly represents an intertextual relationship between one type of art and another. In terms of the postmodern aspects in art, the development of the discourse also turns to feminism and multiculturalism. Whether art has any analogue implications with the two perspectives, perhaps as a source of inspiration, will be addressed in this discussion.
