Post-modernism's discursive system was a reaction to and critique of modernism, with particular emphasis upon modernism's elitist social, political and economic structure of upper and lower classification. The influence of modernism's political and aesthetic projects of resistance and revolution, recooperation and universalism all played an integral role within the ultimate rise of the post-modernism movement, which encompassed the broad and far-reaching aspects of art, architecture, music, film, literature, sociology, politics, communications, fashion, and technology.
