POSTMODERNISM according to
Lyotard
postulates that all apparent realities are only social constructs and are therefore
subject to change. It emphasizes the role of language and economic and political
interests in the formation of ideals and beliefs. It attacks the use of sharp binary
classifications such as male vs female, straight vs gay, white vs black and imperial vs
colonial. It holds realities to be plural and relative. It claims that there is no
absolute truth and that the way people perceive the word is subjective.
