What exactly is postmodernism that is so often talked about in art, architecture, literature and music? Kulturnyheter's editor Anders Jansson explains what the sprawling philosophy really means.


To get an idea of ​​what postmodernism really is, one must start earlier - with modernism: the years between 1850 and 1950 were characterized by a rationality that formulated ideologies, religious dogmas and a strong belief in science.

In response, postmodernism was born.

It said things like that science is not truth, that man is a subjective being and that reality can be deconstructed.

According to postmodernism, everything is relative.

But if everything is relative, then is there any absolute truth about postmodernism?
