The most influential literary theory of the present day is known as post-modernism. Post-modernism can be thought of as an outgrowth of modernism, sharing many of the same characteristics as modernism (anti-realism, experimentation, fragmentation) and yet different in that it is anti-elitist and influenced by popular culture, especially technology. Jean-Francois Lyotard, one of the principal figures of post-modernism, argues that every all-embracing way of achieving truth (rationalism, capitalism, communism, and science) is undesirable. Post-modernism sees multiple points of view as desirable. As long as there are many micro-narratives or dialogs, discussion stays open, and both sides can continue to communicate. |
