POSTMODERNISM:

The period that came after the modern period is called Postmodernism.

It is a reaction of modernist era where the reality was seen in a rational way. There is an essential different idea in the two periods: in the modernist era the paradigm can be expressed in searching for the truth, while, in the other side, the postmodernists' idea is that the truth cannot be find.

Postmodernism begun in the post-World War II era, but it took full flight in the 1960s. At first, in Vaclav Havel's speech, a reader can be understand what Postmodernism essentially is. It is described in all its forms: the mixing, the disintegration and the instability of identities.

Furthermore, the term "deconstruction" is the basic premise of Postmodernism created by Derrida. It wants to be a critique of the criteria of certainty, identity and truth saying that all communication is characterized by uncertainty. It is due to the fact that there is no link between the signifier and the signified. It is also a method of textual analysis applicable to all writing.

By the way, according to all this ideas, it can say that deconstruction is a sort of skepticism. There is not a define structures in language and so all the notion that have been added in the years before have gone away.

In addition, the core of the matter is that in Postmodernism's ideas the searching for the truth is note realizable and there is not only one reality, but more others according to different point of view. A student can better understand it by using an example: he is inside an house where there are some windows; he can realize that according to different windows he can see different reality in each of it.
