Post-Modernism Lesson 3

Jean Francois Lyotard


Jean Francois had the idea of "Little Narratives"


Lyotard's work is characterised by a persistent opposition to universals, meta-narratives and generality.


Lyotard notices that we have become alert to difference and diversity, the incompatibility of our aspirations, beliefs and desires, and for that reason postmodernity is characterised by an abundance of micronarratives.


He believes they are split into three things: Religion, Politics and Science.
