Posted Hide Post I don't know that I'd consider it particularly postmodern. It's a fairly clearly written "young girl triumphs over supernatural threat that's too big for her" sort of story. __________ AJGraeme "You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it." -Taylor Mali "Science is the foot that kicks magic square in the nuts." -Scratch Fury

Posted Hide Post well, unless you go with the idea that we live in a postmodern era, and that therefore every work of art that is created in this era is postmodern by default. that said, coraline doesn't really have any of the traits that i would consider postmodern (pastiche, quoting "low culture," self-awareness that it is a story and/or commenting on it, etc.) ___________________________ all your dreams are waking up impressions
