Postmodernism by Hans Bertens
Featuring summaries of postmodernism's greatest literary, cultural, and political champions written by a diverse group of scholars, Postmodernism: The Key Figures captures the dominance of a theoretical paradigm that has done nothing less than re-define the very terms of our knowledge and experience. Features summaries of postmodernism's key figures, written by a diverse group of scholars. Highlights over fifty of postmodernism's greatest literary, cultural and political champions. Includes an extensive bibliography of resources in postmodernism.
"The word 'postmodern' resists precise definition, and a definitive survey of postmodernism would be a contradiction in termsBut this book does the next best thing, giving lucid and comprehensive summaries of the work of a broad range of postmodern artists and thinkers."Steven Shaviro, University of Washington
