Post-modernism

If Modernism was still looking for a centre, a point of reference, and put the question on its nature as well as  the research on Art at its centre, post-modernism questions all that, and comes to the conclusion that there is no longer a single centre, because saying that there is no absolute truth, also implies that there is no stable meaning.

There is no longer one centre, but many centers, and therefore meaning is always differed: there is a continuous slipping of meaning because meaning is never stable.

The concept is connected to the relationship between signifier and signified.

The position of the reader is the best one, because it is the reader, he or she, that makes sense of what she/he reads, because he/she gives the meaning, one of the possible meaning to what he/she is reading.

A perfect example of post-modernism is Oranges are not the Only Fruit, which relies on a restructuring of the Biblegenal framework in a new context, and there is a lot of intertextuality.
