    Postmodernism, as the journalist Stuart Jeffries demonstrates in Everything, All the Time, Everywhere, is a tricky phenomenon to describe. The term is usually assumed to originate in architecture in the early s, where the labor of Robert Venturi, Charles Moore and others defied the austere tenets of the modernist movement that had swept the nature under the influence of Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. As Venturi and his co-authors articulated in Learning from Las Vegasthe carnivalesque opulence of consumerism and post-industrial capitalism is something to be enjoyed and appropriated. Two decades later, there was a rash of postmodernism debates amongst Marxists.
