Postmodernism - ownership and control Question and answers already passed 2023/2024postmodernism - correct answer Postmodern society is a media-saturated society - the media is so intrinsically a part of people's lives that it shapes the way they live. Postmodern societies are underpinned by globalisation.This breaks down geographical boundaries and also increases the level of choice consumers have over their media. truth vs falsehood - correct answer People no longer have any faith in absolute truths and instead have become skeptical and cynical. As a result, the truth is both unattainable and irrelevant. Instead postmodernism stresses the importance of knowledge, ideas and lifestyle. hyper-reality - correct answer Baudrillard argues that audiences are now immersed in so much information that they find it difficult to distinguish between real life and the media version of reality. The audience is aware that some of 'reality' being presented is staged or edited to present a certain narrative, it can be difficult to differentiate between what is scripted and what is real e.g. Keeping up with the Kardashians.
