Just a social construct.
There is no set definition.
It is a way of analysing things or frameworks. It is a
critique of modernism and structures (post structuralism). There is no absolute
truth. Some of these constructs that we build all of society on are gender,
power, class, we assume these are real and postmodernism deconstructs this
saying they are not necessarily true, they are things we have created as a
society and we believe them to be true.
Want to break down good vs evil and male vs female. No one
can agree on whether we are in the postmodern era, believed to start in late 19th
century as reaction to hyper rationalism of people at the time, people who
argue different theories to explain everything. Postmodernism argued nothing is
purely objective, no true objective truth.
Any view that is post the modern period that challenges the
norm of ideas of structure, binaries, rational thought. Best way is look at art
and architecture and music.
