Cristina Degli-Esposti also identifies several other features unique to postmodernism which include intertextuality, parody and pastiche, questions about what is perceived as real, the search for identity, and the idea of the fragmented self or a fragmented society.
.Description of the work and its context.
Blade Runner is a film that explores contemporary theories of the postmodern. The mise-en-scene combines the common domestic with the bizarre and unrecognisable, imbuing the scene with an eerie sense of the familiar, which raises questions about a disconnected sense of heritage.
“Trash and waste, pollution and decay, are visualized as curious and beautiful, postmodern sensibility finding aesthetic pleasure and sublimity in the accumulations and transformative decay of the cityscape…” (Sobchack)

.Artist´s intentions for, meanings of the work.
What does it mean to be human?
.How reflects the period in which it was made(social, political influences).
Since its first release in 1982, Blade Runner has been taken by critics as a vision of a particular historical epoch, the period many people today are calling postmodernism. Its portrait of ecological disaster and urban overcrowding, of a visual and aural landscape saturated with advertising, of a polyglot population immersed in a Babel of competing cultures, of decadence and homelessness, of technological achievement and social decay, has appeared to many people as prescient.
