    The document contrasts modernism with postmodernism. Modernism values purpose, hierarchy, finished works of art, and synthesis driven by transcendent ideals. Postmodernism rejects these, favoring chance, absence, dispersion, surface-level readings, and immanence over transcendence. It provides examples of postmodern cultural works and figures that exhibit randomness, irony, and difference rather than unity or higher meaning.
