features of postmodernism

reusing n recycling existing tropes n images

creating chaos out of order

refiguring older ideas in new ways

celebrating n undermining past texts

very specific references, crystal-clear imagery, no ambiguity

at the heart of postmodernism, modernism is still present eg dj shadow “building steam with a grain of salt” » verisimilitudinous, working-class imagery

ambiguity over artistic intentions

• so much clarity that you don’t know what it means eg tomato soup painting » andy warhol
