    These readings are organized into four sections. The first explores the wellsprings of the debates in the relationship between the postmodern and the enterprise it both continues and contravenes: modernism. Here philosophers, social and political commentators, as well as cultural and literary analysts present controversial background essays on the complex history of postmodernism. The readings in the second section debate the possibility-or desirability-of trying to define the postmodern, given its cultural agenda of decentering, challenging, even undermining the guiding "master" narratives of Western culture. The readings in the third section explore postmodernism's complicated complicity with these very narratives, while the fourth section moves from theory to practice in order to investigate, in a variety of fields, the common denominators of the postmodern condition in action.

  • - The Art of Dying
    av Linda Hutcheon & Michael Hutcheon
    872,-

    Our modern narratives of science and technology can only go so far in teaching us about the death that we must all finally face.

    Looks at works of modern literature, visual art, music, film, theater, and architecture to arrive at an assessment of what parody is and what it does.

  • - The Example of Charles Mauron
    av Linda Hutcheon
    466,-

    This study has a double focus: in the first place, it seeks to chart the parallel re-evaluation of both formalism and psychology in twentieth-century literary theory by using the work and career of the French literary critic, Charles Mauron (1899-1966) as a scaffolding. Secondly, it addresses the broader issue of objectivity and subjectivity in literary criticism.

  • - History, Theory, Fiction
    av Linda Hutcheon
