What connects Marliyn Monroe, Disneyworld, "The Satanic Verses" and cyber space? Answer: Postmodernism. But what exactly is postmodernism?
This Graphic Guide explains clearly the maddeningly enigmatic concept that has been used to define the world's cultural condition over the last three decades.
Introducing Postmodernism tracks the idea back to its roots by taking a tour of some of the most extreme and exhilarating events, people and thought of the last 100 years: in art - constructivism, conceptual art, Marcel Duchamp, Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol; in politics and history - McCarthy's witch-hunts, feminism, Francis Fukuyama and the Holocaust; in philosophy - the work of Derrida, Baudrillard, Foucault and Heidegger.The book also explores postmodernism's take on today, and the anxious grip of globalisation, unpredictable terrorism and unforeseen war that greeted the dawn of the 21st century.
Regularly controversial, rarely straightforward and seldom easy, postmodernism is nonetheless a thrilling intellectual adventure. Introducing Postmodernism is the ideal guide.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. What connects Marilyn Monroe, Disneyworld, The Satanic verses and cyber space? Answer: Postmodernism. But what exactly is this phenomenon? This graphic guide clearly explains this maddeningly enigmatic concept that has been used to define our cultural condition over the last twenty years.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' and the triumph of liberal democracy over Communist tyranny have proved an illusion. We awoke in the anxious grip of globalisation, unpredictable terrorism and unforeseen war.Introducing Postmodernism traces the genealogies of postmodernity in art, theory, science and history. Derrida, Baudrillard, Foucault and many other icons of postmodern complexity are brilliantly elucidated by Richard Appignanesi and enlivened by cartoonist, Chris Garratt. An enjoyable, comic-style book on this enigmatic concept that has defined our cultural condition over the past twenty years. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781840468496
