Okay! Just upon reading the title I instantly became more interested.
I found it really intriguing that they start a "Popular Culture" chapter based on China... since China does rule our world in a sense it is only a matter of production.
Page 311 "Thus, postmodernity refers not just to a style and a form of subjectivity that emerged in late modernity. It also refers to changes in the social and economic conditions that help to produce these style and ways of being a subject..."
So, basically it depends on societal acceptance of a factor for it to be submerged into the art world as a modern piece...
Money + People + Fads + Time + Acceptance + Technology = (Art)
On Page 320, I never knew that about Shrek!!!! I knew it was filled with humor, but not " reflexive jokes about representation", and it makes sense as to why kids love shrek so much is because he is 'different' than the rest of the characters in the movie, and I know that every kid feels different in some shape or form so Shrek was a comfort zone to kids everywhere.
I love the inside joke that the producers have about having a princess know martial arts.
Once again, mass + popular culture + money + Postmodernism - modernism = Today
The lady on the front is in this chapter fyi!
