Shapinskaya, E. N. Images of the Past in Post-Modernism Culture:
Representation or Pastiche?
Abstract:
The article considers the problem of representation
of the past in post-modernism culture. In those times
the most famous form of addressing to the past was the
pastiche which is, in fact, a mimicry that reminds of the
past and does not have any historical referents. Based on
Fredric Jameson’s theory of post-modernism, the author
analyzes a series of cultural texts and modern practices
showing the loss of the feeling of history in the culture of postmodernism
while popularization of historical plots in mass
culture, especially in screen arts. Post-modernism examples
of historical art include the usage of such instruments
as combination of fragments from different epochs and
presence of both real and fi ctional characters. One of the
forms of such practices in art is the interpretation of classical
plots deprived of any temporal features. The author admits
that post-modernistic interpretation of history is rather
contradictory and concludes that the desire to understand
the past is quite typical for ‘post-culture’ human despite all
the changes in interpretation of history which happened at
the end o the 20th – beginning of the 21st centuries.
Keywords:
