#postmodernism
- Anti-humanism — A philosophical movement, ideological stance, or critical attitude based on the radical rejection or deconstruction of classical humanism and the anthropocentric concept that man is the measure of all things. In modern and postmodern theory (associated with thinkers like Louis Althusser or Michel Foucault), anti-humanism questions the illusion of absolute individual autonomy and universal human nature, demonstrating how identity and consciousness are structurally determined by language, ideology, power networks, and impersonal socio-economic processes.
- Self-parody — The act of self-parodying and its result; an artistic or literary process through which a creator or entity consciously, self-ironically, and deconstructively parodies their own style, clichés, works, or behaviors. This structural technique, common in postmodernism, functions as a form of superior critical reflexivity, undermining the solemnity of the work from within to question the limits of artistic representation and interpretive clichés.
