Postmodern Theories and Texts

Postmodernism theories and texts from raybloggs

Postmodern Music Theory

According to Kramer (Kramer 2002, 16–17), postmodern music:

1. is not simply a repudiation of modernism or its continuation, but has aspects of both a break and an extension
2. is, on some level and in some way, ironic
3. does not respect boundaries between sonorities and procedures of the past and of the present
4. challenges barriers between 'high' and 'low' styles
5. shows disdain for the often unquestioned value of structural unity
6. questions the mutual exclusivity of elitist and populist values
7. avoids totalizing forms (e.g., does not want entire pieces to be tonal or serial or cast in a prescribed formal mold)
8. considers music not as autonomous but as relevant to cultural, social, and political contexts
9. includes quotations of or references to music of many traditions and cultures
10. considers technology not only as a way to preserve and transmit music but also as deeply implicated in the production and essence of music
11. embraces contradictions
12. distrusts binary oppositions
13. includes fragmentations and discontinuities
14. encompasses pluralism and eclecticism
15. presents multiple meanings and multiple temporalities
16. locates meaning and even structure in listeners, more than in scores, performances, or composers

POSTMODERN ADVERT #1

This Rolls Royce advert has emphasis on the emotion the car brings to both the driver, a sense of empowerment, and the women, a sense of lust and desire. The advert also emphasises the style of the car way over substance and content, not mentioning any specific details on the performance of the car and showing the car in a purely aesthetic manner therefore emphasising style greatly. Furthermore, with the use of slow motion and the stopping of the footage (whilst panning around the car) confusing the audience over time and space resulting in a postmodern advert.
