I learned that there are many theorist on post-mordernism. One thing I noticed was that Lytoard strongly disagree with idea of Habermas. Habermas defends modernity from postmodernity which according to him presents itself as “Antimodernity”. Habermas's idea of incomplete project of modernity does not convince Lyotard at all. Habermas favors realism, yet Lyotard thinks realism intends to avoid the question of reality of implicated in art. Lyotard thinks reality is not more than representation and an illusion of reality yet not the reality itself. It is hard form me to fully understand difference between modernism and post-modernism. However, it makes me feel like modernist get so much stress when they feel lack, but post-modernist try not to feel lack and loss. So the job of a postmodern writer is not to supply reality but to explore allusions to the conceivable which can not be presented. Lytoard simply demonstates post modernism by saying "A work can become modern only only if it is first postmodern. Postmodernism thus understood is not modernism at its end but in the nascent states, and this state is constant. Yet I would like to remain with this slightly mechanistic of the world.
