POMO Essay


Assess the arguments for and against postmodernism, in relation to media examples.

This is the essay structure you should always follow:
  • OPINION
  • PAST
  • PRESENT
  • FUTURE
  • CONCLUDE

The skills are always the same:

POINT - EVIDENCE - THEORY - LINK TO QUESTION

The kinds of thing you might use as case studies include:
  • How post-modern media relate to genre and narrative
  • post-modern cinema,
  • interactive media,
  • music video,
  • advertising,
  • post-modern audience theories,
  • parody and bricolage in media texts or a range of other applications of post-modern media theory.
Write your essay
  1. You MUST refer to at least TWO different media
  2. You MUST refer to past, present and future (with the emphasis on the present- contemporary examples from the past five years)
  3. refer to critical/theoretical positions
