Chapter 32 Overview and Key Terms

In chapter 32, The Postmodern Eye by Jack Solomon, he states that as a result
of the postmodern style the narrative as we know it is no more. Post modern is
the age of instant communicatin, as Solomon says, for example tv, radio and
cinema. There are no narrative and it essentaily is just a series as "skits".
Solomon says that as a result of this the narrative has lost its power and
that life is now "decentered" because the narrative is no more. He goes as far
as saying "life is nothing more than a decentered, narrativeless course of
waiting for death" basically saying that now our life has no more meaning, not
like what it once was.
