Fredrick Jameson criticises postmodernism for:
"historical deafness" - things are taken out of the context and therefore lack meaning. This negatively impacts upon our knowledge of history
a breakdown of the distinction between "high" and "low" culture.
depthlessness - postmodernism is pastiche, humourlessly referencing itself and other texts in a vacuous and meaningless cycle
