Lecture Response - What is Postmodernism?

I learnt a lot from this particular lecture and the notes that I made eventually helped me a great deal when I came to writing my Critical Studies essay. I had never really grasped or been inormed of the details describe what modernism and postmodernism stood for and how the transition between the two occurred. It was helpful to be introduced to new terms such as Lyotard's "Incredulity towards metanarratives" which at first didn't make sense, but then aided by images on the screen in the lecture I could see how it related once it had been explained. It was also nice to see the reference to Bob Dylan which was used to help explain the transition to postmodernism with his lyric "The Times They Are a-Changin".
