Postmodern media - from the specification

Postmodern Media
  • What are the different versions of postmodernism (historical period, style, theoretical approach)?
  • What are the arguments for and against understanding some forms of media as post-modern?
  • How do post-modern media texts challenge traditional text-reader relations and the concept of representation?
