An Analysis of Postmodern Cultural Traits within a Technologically Advanced Era

Abstract

Postmodernism is a critical period that brought many literary and cultural changes in the contemporary scenario. In the context of the technological world, the socio-cultural characteristics of postmodernism are relevant and should be discussed in the intellectual realm. Chronologically it emerged after modernism and brought various theories and characteristics to the existing art and literature. The notion of ‘postmodernism’ is not only related to literature but is also associated with art, architecture, politics, economy, culture, history, religion, philosophy, and many more. Critics and theorists say that it continued modernism and influenced our contemporary period's epistemology. Hence it is essential to understand the theory and characteristics of postmodernism within a technologically advanced era. This research paper brings clarity and coherence to the existing norm of postmodernism. The cyber-world is an important area where the influence of postmodernism is quite visible. This paper deals with the socio-cultural traits of postmodernism in a technologically advanced world.
