Introducing Postmodernism (Introducing (Icon Books))

Richard Appignanesi

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.

Summary

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.This book traces the pedigrees of postmodernism in art, theory, science and history, providing an urgent guide to the present.
