a. parallels: de-centering, against History or any kind of totality, against humanist or imperialist subject, cultural strategies (e.g. parody, intertextuality, duality or indeterminacy in meaning, problematizing of historical knowledge; irony, magic realism)

b. conflicts: postmodernism may be complicit with multi-national imperialism--MTV (or MacDonald''s) as a multinational industry and its attempts at localization subject (textbook p. 189)--examples: Peter Gabriel, 黃舒俊，豬頭皮，羅大佑
