@article{2018,title={IN THE POSTMODERN APPROPRIATION ART PROCESS},abstractNode={At the postmodernist period which is accepted as an idea which focuses on consumer society perception together with Late-capitalism – a new face of capitalism-, change in production structure as a result of micro-electronic revolution, transformation of information production and information into a power source formed a basis for today’s sense of art. Postmodern artists avoided all or most of the modernist thought, modernist attitudes. They proposed different sense of aesthetics to the world of art which finished its relation with modernism on the basis of thought and consists of all modernist genres. Postmodern theory and art practice have a style which really tries to re-capture avant-garde strategy and ideals. Main characteristics of modernist aesthetic is authenticity cult. Belief in absolute oneness and uniqueness of work of art which grounded itself is principal. Within this context, postmodern thought unsettles obsession of modernity to authenticity/originality/uniqueness. Because, postmodernity falls in recycling of art history and loots the whole tradition including avant-garde. In this regard, citing, copying, imitating every work from past, thus destroying originality/uniqueness principle which is the heart of modern art is the strategy of postmodern art. Within this framework, postmodern strategies such as eclecticism, pastiche, simulation and feminism which are as internal dynamics of appropriation, seizin and art of seizin developed and ownage, borrowing, plagiarism or stealing have become common in today’s art as a postmodernist strategy which underestimates the respect of modernists to originality. Hence, postmodernism become a more general concept surrounding many types of art, genre, movement.},author={Gökçen Şahmaran CAN},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science Studies}}
