Postmodernizm, modernite ideolojisine (aklın, etrafımızdaki her şeye hükmedebileceğini söyleyen ve bu yolla, bize belirsiz bir geleceğe doğru yol alan maddesel bir ilerleme taahhüt eden inanış) karşı bir tepki olarak gelişmiştir. Kültürel bir olgu olarak modernizmin kökleri sıklıkla, “Aydinlanma projesi" olarak da anilan, 18. yüzyıl Avrupasının

The Death of the Author by Roland Barthes
In a notorious essay of 1968, he even proclaimed the “death of the author”. He meant the traditional, heroic “Author” passing on his words of wisdom to a grateful, and essentially passive, public. This has been a contentious idea. Yet, in its most basic sense, it means no more than that narratives take on a life of their own after they leave the author and pass into general circulation.

Readerly vs. Writerly Texts
Roland Barthes suggests in 
S/Z (1970) that narratives can be divided into “readerly” and “writerly” categories. The latter demands the active participation of the reader; the former an attitude of passivity. Modernist novels, and indeed anything at all experimental in form – such as the novel Tristram Shandy (1759–67) by Laurence Sterne (1713–68) – are “writerly”. Most 19th-century realist novels are “readerly”.
