Can anyone provide a comprehensive definition :marseyremastered: of postmodernism?

Bonus: what, if any, is the relationship between :marseyzeldalinkpast: postmodernism :marseyfrenchvan: and existentialism?

Postmodernism is the rejection of absolute truth as a constant. Whereas Modernism presupposes that a given Sign will always indicate a given Truth Value, Postmodernism states that a third element, a Signifier, is necessary to derive Truth. Different Signifiers can cause a single Sign to beget different Truth Values, likewise different Signs will beget different Truth Values from a single Signifier. Neither a single Sign nor a single Signifier alone can communicate a Truth Value, both are necessary (and almost always inherently present) when attempting to determine meaning and infer a Truth Value.
