Post-modern literature:
The term post-modernism was tentatively use in the late 1960s and a sense of a general cultural phenomenon begun to crystalize in 1970s.The reasons were the development of knowledge in science and avantgarde practices in the arts which led to an intellectual revolution.post-modernism in literature was parebled by other movement in linguistic theory and criticism such as post-structuralism and feminism it was also linked to post-colonialism.
The originators of the post-modern argument were French intellectual like Jean Francois leotard,Jean baudrillard.The progressive thinking of Jacques Derrida,Michel Foucault and Roland Barth's also influence the movement great extent and the practice of North and South American writers like Kurt Vonnegut,Jorge Luis Borges and Gabriel Marquez inspired british writer like Angela Carter,D. M.Thomas and Samantha Rushdie.
Post-modern writing makes extensive use of parody and pastiche,quotasional reference,pub-talk,novellette scenarios and advertising slow-guns their by blending a variety of literary genre and cultural and stylistic levels drawn from different arts.The rebellion against essential revels and traditions of the past is embodied in the literature of absurd -The plays of Bucket and Janet the writings of Sarte and Camus and the fiction of gunther grass and Joseph Heller.The sub version of established mode of thought and traditions of expression also appears in beat poetry,in the chanted celebration of down and out sub-culture of drug adicts,socia misfits and rebels.
Like modernism,its successor term,post modernism,has a variety of meanings it was thrown up by the Holocaust and the horrors of the atomic age the early 60s however so a change a term meaning.The witness to this transition were the beat poets ,the black humour novelists,who along with the artist of abstract expressionism and pop-art gave currency to the term counter-culture.The term became and open definition eventually with the advent of structuralist theory's that came forward after world war-2 with Camus and Sarte.Then the term open definition instead of elite meaning it can more and more place.The many different aspect of life and many fastation of culture which came in vogue in the wake of a fedding modern movement at the end of the cold-war.
The term post-modern literature s used to describe certain characteristic of post world-war -2 literature which uses many themes and techniques together for example Fragmentation,paradox,questionable narrators and it also uses metafiction and pestiche (the combination of subject and genre not previously deemed feet for literature) for irony.
