The postmodern culture

This semester I enjoyed the subject: postmodern culture. The postmodern culture is the name that a lot of academical about the historical moment where the neoliberal economy predominates wordwild´their characteristics are exacerbated consumerism, little value to politics, consolidation of liberal democracy, individualism, skepticism, distrust toward grand narrative and various tenets of Enlightenment rationality. Some psychologists believe that diseases have increased psychosis. Also in this period it arises the internet

The most well-known postmodernist concerns is "deconstruction". Deconstruction is the philosophy of postmodernity which it was proposed by Jacques Derrida. Deconstructive notion into question all analytical categories proposed in modernity because it cannot explain the new social reality. Thus the identities are regarded as something of the past. Thereby, advocates of postmodernism has the idea of an individual can live without clinging to anything, as a free subject.

However there are critical philosophers and critical social researchers of postmodern culture. For example, Alain Badiou -french philosopher- believes that postmodernism does not allow freedom of individuals because it does not allow people to think.

The certain the postmodern culture system has been consolidated and it's the beginning.
