Abstract
GALINDO PEREZ, José María. Relevance as concept of the postmodern cinema. Ñawi [online]. 2018, vol.2, n.1, pp.13-34. ISSN 2588-0934. https://doi.org/10.37785/nw.v2n1.a1.
Postmodern cinema is a concept used in film theory and film history (in the same way as, in their corresponding fields, the literature studies and the world of the architecture refer to postmodern literature or postmodern architecture). However, is it a relevant concept? To answer this question, this paper claims to describe the main features of the postmodernity (considering this concept from several points of view: historical, political, economic, social, cultural or aesthetical) through the review of some of the principal approaches to this idea (since Lyotard to Jameson, and Harvey or Calinescu too). Later, the paper will try to grasp the key aspects of a hypothetical postmodern cinema (using for it the previous revision and some points of view provided by the filmology), and finally, trying to infer if the concept of the postmodern cinema in relevant or, on the contrary, it is just a short-lived adjective.
