And if this were like most books on the subject, it probably wouldn’t tell you. Besides what a few grumpy critics claim, Postmodernism is not a bunch of meaningless intellectual mind games. On the contrary, it is a reaction to the most profound spiritual and philosophical crises of our time–the failure of the Enlightenment. Jim Powell takes the position that Postmodernism is a series of “maps” that help people find their way through a changing world. Postmodernism For Beginners features the thoughts of Foucault on power and knowledge, Jameson on mapping the postmodern, Baudrillard on the media, Harvey on time-space compression, Derrida on deconstruction and Deleuze and Guattari on rhizomes. The book also discusses postmodern artifacts such as Madonna, cyberpunk sci-fi, Buddhist ecology and teledildonics. 3494441 1982 Postmodernism for Beginners (A Writers & Readers Beginners Documentary Comic Book) total:58|5:10|4:22|3:20|2:5|1:1| 58 209 89 7 3 0 false false Tue Jun 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 18:45:27 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 19:36:29 -0700 2009
