Synopsis
Postmodernism seemed to promise an end to the grim Cold War era of nuclear confrontation and oppressive ideologies. This expanded edition brilliantly elucidates this hall of mirrors with Richard Appignanesi's witty and easy-to-follow text and the inspired cartoonist Chris Garratt., Here is the new expanded edition of the international bestseller Introducing Postmodernism. Has the 21st century resolved the question of postmodernism or are we more than ever ensnared in its perplexities? Postmodernism seemed to promise an end to the grim Cold War era of nuclear confrontation and oppressive ideologies. Fukuyama's notoriously proclaimed end of history, the triumph of liberal democracy over Communist tyranny, has proved an illusion. We awoke in the anxious grip of globalization, unpredictable terrorism and unforeseen war. Introducing Postmodernism traces the pedigrees of postmodernism in art, theory, science and history, providing an urgent guide to the present. Derrida, Baudrillard, Foucault and many other icons of postmodern complexity are brilliantly elucidated by Richard Appignanesi and enlivened by the Guardian's Biff cartoonist Chris Garratt., This title is now available in a new format. Refer to Postmodernism: A Graphic Guide 9781840468496. Was September 11th the apotheosis of the postmodern era, the supreme trial of symbolism over substance? Or did that day debase the theories of gurus like Derrida, Foucault and Baudrillard? This and more in an updated and expanded edition of a classic bestseller. Postmodernism is the maddeningly enigmatic concept which is supposed to describe our cultural condition the world over. It claims that modernity, which grew from giants like the Enlightenment and Marxism, has collapsed. We now live in an endlessly contemporary culture full of contested meanings, parody, pastiche and cultural cross-over. Richard Appignanesi asks what this over-used term means. With broadband internet, cell phones and viral marketing, have we really reached the peak of the postmodern world?
