Sue Thornham & Tony Purvis

Their Views on Postmodern

- Borrow images or figures from other medias
- Represent reality as multiple and fragmentary
- Undermine or threaten thematic and narrative coherence (the story doesn't always make sense)
- Emphasise the signifier (sign) over the signified (meaning)
- Blur the boundaries of genre (hybrid?)
- Confuse the sense of time and space - hyperreality
- Threaten notion of the fully formed/ whole character
- Resist the viewer's attempts to impose one interpretation of text
- Seem inconclusive/ open ended
