REFLECTIONS ON POST-MODERNITY AS A NEW MOMENT FOR “SOCIETY” OR AS IDEOLOGY FOR MARXISTS

Abstract

Introduction: Postmodernity has been treated by some authors as a new moment in civilization. Objective: This article aimed to analyze postmodernity as a new moment in society or as a Marxist ideology. Methodology: For this purpose, this study was based on theoretical research and, as an analysis methodology, the critical-dialectical method was adopted. Results: When analyzing the texts discussed here, it was found that, when seen as a new moment in society, postmodernity behaves as a simulacrum that contributes to watch over the exploitation and expropriation exercised by capitalism on man and nature. Conclusion: The results showed that postmodernity is not a new moment in society, but an ideology for Marxists.
