Product Description
Book Description
The only book to approach postmodernism in aneasy-to-digest fashion (best enjoyed whilstlistening to Finnish-Hindi fusion blues and eatinga hamburger in Red Square), the ideas of leadingtheorists such as Jean-Francois Lyotard, JeanBaudrillard and Fredric Jameson, the brave newvirtual world of post-modern science fiction, andthe intersection of feminism and postmodernism areall explained and examined. A range of books,films, artists and TV series are discussed fromthe point of view of post-modern aesthetics, andarguments against postmodernism are explored.
Synopsis
What is postmodernism? What was postmodernism? Is it just a sense of fun and playfulness, or a creed that leads to tasteless denials that the Gulf War ever happened? Is it a celebration of the sense of an ending which came with the close of the Twentieth Century, or an ironic critique of capitalism? Should we sail full speed ahead for the abyss? In this book (best enjoyed whilst listening to Finnish-Hindi fusion blues and eating a hamburger in Red Square) the ideas of leading postmodern theorists such as Jean-Francois Lyotard, Jean Baudrillard and Fredric Jameson are explained and examined, and the brave new virtual world of postmodern science fiction is explored, as well as the intersection of feminism and postmodernism. A whole range of books, films, artists and tv series are discussed from the point of view of postmodern aesthetics. Finally a number of arguments against Postmodernism are taken into account. This book is safe if inwardly digested. Accept no substitute.
