relating to postmodernism as a movement

About the style and ideas called postmodernism, used in modern art, buildings, books, and thinking.

الگوی کاربرد: postmodern [art/form/architecture/philosophy/theory/work]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use *postmodern* when they only mean *modern* or *new*. *Postmodern* usually refers to a specific movement and set of ideas, not just anything recent. Another mistake is confusing *postmodern* (adjective) with *postmodernism* (noun: the movement or set of ideas).

الگوی کاربرد: a postmodern [attitude/touch/joke/movie]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may think *postmodern* here only means *new* or *fashionable*. In this sense it also suggests irony, self‑awareness, and mixing of styles. Another confusion is using *postmodern* as if it were a value judgment like *cool*; it mainly describes style, not quality.
هم‌معنی‌ها

متضادها

الگوی کاربرد: postmodern [society/world/era/capitalism]
اشتباه رایج:

هم‌معنی‌ها
late‑modern (Often used in sociology to describe the last stage of modernity; overlaps but may stress continuity with modernity more than *postmodern* does.) | postindustrial (Focuses specifically on an economy based more on services and information than on industry, not on the broader cultural period.)
