ABSTRACT
The term ‘postmodern’ is used frequently in accounts of society and descriptions of various occupations – and so we have, for example, ‘postmodern society’, ‘postmodern art’, ‘postmodern architecture’. The term has been interpreted in many ways but before it is analysed here it is necessary to examine what is being replaced – what is the ‘modern’ which is to be relegated to a previous era or replaced?
