الأدب في عصر ما بعد الحداثة

Abstract

The essence of postmodern literary works lies in the more daring formulation of universal phenomena and the divergence of this formulation from acceptable norms of presenting reality, in a way which attracts attention to artistic organization and the artistic way of presenting the phenomenon. These works surpass the traditional constraints of time and place, to represent a temporal world. In postmodern literature, the plot, as a tool of construction and organization, is cancelled and replaced by a structure hidden behind the shattered new structure. The text becomes a hybrid of an endless number of literary texts and genres, which do not seem to focus on a particular useful subject. This extreme change in the style of writing has come into being to accommodate rapid change in a  complex and hard-to-understand world. One can claim that postmodern literature is an aristocratic one designed for the elite few to understand, and  is created by the most talented for an intellectual elite.
