Postmodernism in e-Government
Postmodernism does not have a standard definition. However,
this paper tries to formulate the characteristics of postmodernism
based on various ideas from some postmodernism figures. There
are five characteristics of postmodernism which successfully
formulated. Based on these five characteristics, this paper looks
at the differences between postmodernism with its predecessor,
that is modernism. In addition, this paper identifies that
postmodernism is strongly influenced by the development of
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). This
paper also tries to show the reciprocal relationship between
postmodernism and ICTs. It can be argued that postmodernism is
not only influenced by the development of ICTs, but also
influence the development of ICTs. Specifically, this paper
succeeded in showing the existence of the five characteristics of
postmodernism on one of the emerging science in the ICTs,
namely e-Government. There are two e-Government matters were
observed, i.e. e-Government systems development process, and
e-Government content delivery.
