Sociology
Post-modernist writers have argued that:
we live in a world of superficial, fragmented images
no theory is better than any other: ‘anything goes’
society has changed and we need new kinds of theory
all of the above
we live in a world of superficial, fragmented images
Postmodernism is a movement that developed in the late twentieth century and continues to influence contemporary social theory. If we are living in a new and different type of culture, we need new and different forms of knowledge to understand it. Postmodernists question the idea that we can ever have complete, objective knowledge: any social theory is just a claim to knowledge and a partial version of the truth. These claims are seen as equally valid, with no one view being superior to others. 64-66
