Author(s) Habib ur Rehman

Abstract Post modernism is a complicated concept. Its dimensions are not clear but its major components, absurdism, nehlism, anarchism and elienation are present in Jaun Elia's poetry. Thefore the researcher has chosen some of these concepts to analyze Jaun Elia's Poetry. According to post –modernists history has been written by the order of power, even knowledge has been considered power but western scholars have laid foundation of modern knowledge on the their priorities. Knowledge is subjective. There is no universal truth. The meaning or truth that we derive from certain things is not a stable meaning or truth but in our mind there is no such stability and the meaning we get from such play of signifiers is just a trace that is left behind, the chain of signifier does not produce a stable meaning rather a never ending postponement of meaning or truth. Foucault gave the concepts of episteme, power and discourse. Every era has its own episteme, it can be a reference for another era. Foucault talks about crime, body, gender and madness and argues that western discourse is madness. If power and discourse join forces then we can hope for change. Another important person in postmodernism in Neitschze. He argues that the existential crisis shouldn't be just cured rather destroyed fully. This nihilist approach became the foundation of postmodernism. Jean-Francois Lyotard is of the view that knowledge is gained from experiment, analysis, argument and facts. Therefore no past knowledge is universally accepted and modern westen knowledge is faulty too because it is all constructed on the matrix of power. Metanarratives have given way to oppression and dictatorship. Truths are micro, time bound and native.
