Jacques Derrida - stated that a text couldn't belong to no genre, every text has to have one or many genre's. Text cannot be genreless.
Baudrillard's idea of hyperreality was influenced by phenomenology, semiotics, and Marshall McLuhan who created the phrase 'the medium is the message'.
This means that its more important about how a message is presented and not the message itself
Frederic Jameson - thought that post modernism was Nothing more that a series of self referential 'jokes' which have no deeper meaning or purpose.
Jean-François Lyotard
rejected what he called the “grand narratives” or universal “meta-narratives.”
Grand narratives refer to the great theories of history, science, religion, politics. For example, Lyotard rejects the ideas that everything is knowable by science or that as history moves forward in time, humanity makes progress.
Lyotard favours ‘micronarratives’ that can go in any direction, that reflect diversity, that are unpredictable.
Rosenau (1993)1. Its anti-theoretical position is essentially a theoretical stand.
2. While Postmodernism stresses the irrational, instruments of reason are freely employed to advance its perspective.
3. The Postmodern prescription to focus on the marginal is itself an evaluative emphasis of precisely the sort that it otherwise attacks.
