Postmodernization of the Simpsons

The Simpsons never fail to take something that has already been done and do it in their own way. They have taken some of the worlds greatest works and reproduced them. Here, it is a little different. They are parodying an art movement which changes around classic works. In his essay on postmodernism, Jameson say "An aesthetic of cognitive mapping-a pedagogical political culture whuch seeks to endow the individual subject with some new heightened sense of it's place in the global system- will necessarily have to respect this now enormously complex representation dialecti and invent radiallt new forms in order to do it justice." The creators of the Simpsons new they were not doing anything new by making there own version of the Mona Lisa, but they were simply using their work to keep the idea alive which is what
Jameson had been talking about.
