Post modernism

BRICOLAGE

The term bricolage is used to describe a work that is made from combining existing materials, independent of their original purpose. A example of this is punks using dog collars as a status symbol. It was the idea of putting a idea with another to create something new. Bricolage is a french word for 'jumble'. Another example I found was queens version of ‘under pressure’. 

HYBRIDITY
Hybridity simply just means the mixture of two opposite things or from more than one source.  It is where they splice together two or more genres. All genres have sub genres that are divided up into specific categories.  An example is the mixing and sampling of different levels, and hybrid forms are said to level hierarchies of taste. Music, film and TV are good examples of this process.

INTERTEXUALITY
Intertextuality is the shaping of other texts' meaning by other texts. This Madonna music video is an example of intertextuality.


The Simpsons video is an example of intertextuality because it show references to famous film scenes. 















JEAN BAUDRILLARD
Hyper reality- An example of this is Disney world. Baudrillard claims that Disneyland is the best example for understanding how reality works in the Post modern world, a place which at the same time a real physical space but also clearly a fictional representational world.
