Boundaries: Post modernism challenges the boundaries between genres, art forms, theory and art, high art and the mass media, blurring the boundaries of genres.
Constructs: Post modernism is actively involved in examining the constructs society creates including, but not exclusively, the following:
Nation: Post modernism examines the construction of nations/nationality and questions such constructions
Gender: Post modernism reassesses gender, the construction of gender, and the role of gender in cultural formations
Race: Post modernism questions and reassesses constructs of race
Sexuality: Post modernism questions and reassesses constructs of sexuality
POSTMODERNISM, QUESTIONS/CHALLENGES THE CONVENTIONS OF EVERYTHING.
It challenges, genre conventions, gender stereotypes, racial stereotypes, social stereotypes etc. For example, the conventions of what is right and what is wrong within society are blurred.
