relating to postmodernism as a movement

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

รูปแบบการใช้: postmodern [art/form/architecture/philosophy/theory/work]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
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).
คำพ้องความหมาย
postmodernist (More technical; strongly tied to the formal movement and its theories, especially in academic writing.) | contemporary (Often just means current or modern, without the specific artistic and philosophical ideas of postmodernism.)
คำตรงข้าม
modernist (Refers to the earlier movement that postmodernism reacts against in art and thought.) | traditional (Suggests following older, established styles instead of experimental postmodern ones.)
คำที่ใช้ร่วมกัน

ironically self-aware, mixed-style

Showing a playful, ironic style that mixes many different styles and ideas, often talking about itself as a work.

รูปแบบการใช้: a postmodern [attitude/touch/joke/movie]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
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.
คำพ้องความหมาย
self‑referential (Focuses on the work referring to itself, but does not always include the cultural mixing and irony of postmodern style.) | ironic (Highlights the humor or distance, but not necessarily the complex mixing of cultural levels and styles.)
คำตรงข้าม
earnest (Suggests a serious, sincere approach without the playful distance typical of postmodern style.) | straightforward (Lacks the layered, self‑aware or mixed style implied by postmodern.)
คำที่ใช้ร่วมกัน
postmodern sensibility |postmodern attitude |postmodern humor |postmodern twist |postmodern take |postmodern pastiche

belonging to era after modernity

About the time or society that people see as coming after the modern period, in history or culture.

รูปแบบการใช้: postmodern [society/world/era/capitalism]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners may think *postmodern* simply means *future* or *science‑fiction‑like*. In this sense it refers to a debated historical and social period after modernity, not just anything futuristic.
คำพ้องความหมาย
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.)
คำตรงข้าม
modern (Refers to the earlier historical period or condition that *postmodern* is said to follow or transform.) | premodern (Describes societies or times before the modern era, the opposite direction on the historical timeline.)
