"Classicism seems to be ruled out in a world which is so destabilized that it offers no occasion for experience but one for ratings and expiriementation"
I was pretty confused with the reading this time around but i did take somethings from it. Witht he quote posted above i did understand the clash between classicism and realism. This quote also made me understand that classicism falls apart when there is no stable world for the classicism to be appreciated in. This reading also taught that realism in the 1960s was veyr different from realism in the 19th century. Lyotard talks about how many of the readers reputed the writers and philosphers of relaism int he 60's and 70's because of there use of language. He also explains the meaning of what postmodern really means. he goes on to explain that postmodern is related to the present and it is defined by a set perspectives.
