Abstract
The article under consideration explores the manner in which postmodernity influences traditional genre structures within the context of mass culture. A particular focus is directed towards the manga "Berserk," which serves as a case study to elucidate various postmodern concepts. The article undertakes a detailed analysis of the manner in which postmodernity impacts the conception of heroism and the narrative structures characteristic of traditional epics.
