Postmodernism is Not What You Think

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This second edition responds to the claim that postmodernism is over. It explains the historical connections between the postmodern and globalization. The author shows that the postmodern is less a theory than a condition of social life brought about by the trouble modernity has gotten itself into.
