The post modernist period came with the
end of the modern period and began around 1960.
Following the war th ideology in the
west was humanism. The phrase ‘man is the measure’ sums up this idea. The Family of Man Exhibition and
poster for the Belgian Expo of 1958 is one of the examples of this.
Humanism is intrinsically progressive.
The failure of humanism is one of the
many failures of the grand narratives. These are being replaced with
micro-narratives that serve a particular purpose for a length of time without
making any wider claims. It is fragmentation on the social level.
