Class notes

Typical conventions of post modern music videos

- Boundary-breaking

- cross breaking between various mediums such as fashion, TV programs, etc..

- Mix of high and low culture

- Abandonment of grand narratives and their structures

- they don't follow story telling (beginning, middle, end)

- Intertextual

- Fragmentation of identity

- Pastiche

- Hyper-realism

-Blur chronological and historical lines

- add different time zones, move forward and backwards at the same time.

- "There's a schizophrenic abandonment of rational, liberal and human disclosure, which creates nihilistic amoral universe of representation." - Andrew Goodwin

- everyone goes crazy
- they don't have moral grounding. It's OK for people to be naked.

- Ultimate consumerism. It's an advertisement.


The question on post modern music videos:
Is it exploitation of women's bodies, or is it sexual liberation?
