post modernism

Postmodernism is a term which is applied to a large set of developments in many areas critical theory, philosophy, literature, and culture.

Postmodernism was originally a reaction to modernism . Largely influenced by the confuison of the Second World War, postmodernism tends to refer to a cultural, intellectual, or artistic state.

modernism is problematic as it works for the ones that fit but dont for the ones who dont.
post modernism valuse everyone it says everones views are equal if they are in right context.

…in contrast to Western documentaries ‐ emphasis on individual protagonists, Indian films relied  on the collective in representing its subject, including the collective interview. In place of the  private home was the street. …the group rather than the individual and public spaces rather  than private ones become the primary sites of political discourse and cultural expression.
(Jyotsna Kapur).

In this quote it is obvious that the western film is modernism film and the indian film is the post modernism, i think this is one of the most prominant quote amongst them.

According to Armin Medosch, in an interconnected environment, individuality or expression are  neither important. What's important are the new forms of sharing, spreading and planning the  digital work. With collective actions this cultural domain progresses in its entirety, because  sharing and collaborating mean learning from each other.
(Valentina Culatti, Neural.it).

in this quote it is obvious that Culatti is looking at the interconneted enviroment should be more of a post modernism environment.
