Abstract :
The postmodern perspective on science has
been shaped as an ignorant of disinterested search for
objective knowledge. Postmodernism contains two
destructive definitions of science. firstly, science is
powerless to produce objective reality being universally
applicable and authentic. secondly, science has not been
seen as the free interest of local restrains, but it is
generated from a hidden hegemonic ideology.
Postmodernism is responsible for the prevalent antiscience tendency. The present study seeks to investigate
the elements of distrust of science in the movie.
Dont Look up directed by Adam McKay in
2021. The film Dont Look up is a satire of scientists
endeavors to awakening society’s inaction to climate
breakdown. By focusing on postmodern troubled
relationship with science and its anti-scientific mindsets,
this study seeks to explore the hidden ideology behind
the rejection of science. To illuminates these economic,
political, scientific hegemonic ideologies, the film Dont
Look up is the most accurate replica of the challenge of
science in postmodernism for being investigated.
Keywords :
distrust of science, don’t look up, postmodernism, denial of science, postmodern condition.
