【正确答案】正确答案：Postmodernism; Postmodernism is a disputed term that has occupied much recent debate about contemporary culture since the early 1980s. It is said to be a culture of fragmentary sensations, eclectic nostalgia, disposable simulacra, and promiscuous superficiality, in which the traditionally valued qualities of depth, coherence, meaning, originality, and authenticity are evacuated or dissolved amid the random swirl of empty signals. It seems to have no relevance to modern poetry , and little to drama, but is used widely in reference to fiction, notably to the novels(or anti-novels)and stories of Thomas Pynchon, Kurt Vonnegut, ltalo Calvino, Vfadimir Nabokov, William S. Burroughs, and Angela Carter.
