Explanation
★The correct pairing is Late Capitalism-Jameson, Deconstructionism-Derrida, Collapse of Grand Narrative-Lyotard, Power and Knowledge-Foucault, which is option 1.
★Fredric Jameson tied postmodernism to late capitalism in Postmodernism, or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism (1991), reading culture as the surface of the global market.
★Jacques Derrida founded deconstruction in Of Grammatology (1967), a method for exposing the unstable, contradictory meanings inside any text.
★Jean-Francois Lyotard announced the collapse of grand narratives in The Postmodern Condition (1979), defining the postmodern as incredulity toward metanarratives.
★Michel Foucault developed the power-knowledge link in works like Discipline and Punish (1975), arguing that what counts as knowledge is constituted through relations of power.
★Further facts NET recycles: keep Jean Baudrillard, the theorist of simulacra and hyperreality, in this same postmodern group.
★Spotting cue: late capitalism is always Jameson and metanarratives are always Lyotard, which anchors any postmodernism matching set.
