Postmodernism is a philosophical movement developed during the sixties after modernism. The main points are:

-it does no longer believe in the concept of truth.

-it puts the question of authority into doubt.

-it does no longer believe in a concept of a centre as it generally happened previously.

Post modernism comes to the conclusion that there is no longer a single centre saying that there is no absolut truth -->  that implies that there is no stable meaning.

à the position of the reader is the best one because everyone can give his personal meaning; one of the possible meanings.

The concept of abstract is very important because it underlines something that is very distant from us.

à Human being is marginal and insignificant.
