Postmodernism has been a buzzword in contemporary society for the last decade. But how can it be defined? In this Very Short Introduction Christopher Butler challenges and explores the key ideas of postmodernists, and their engagement with theory, literature, the visual arts, film, architecture, and music. He treats artists, intellectuals, critics, and social scientists 'as if they were all members of a loosely constituted and quarrelsome political party' - a party which includes such members as Cindy Sherman, Salman Rushdie, Jacques Derrida, Walter Abish, and Richard Rorty - creating a vastly entertaining framework in which to unravel the mysteries of the 'postmodern condition', from the politicizing of museum culture to the cult of the politically correct.

universal truth is impossible and relativism is our fate. play of words. deconstruction. incapacity to map our minds. lost in translation.
评分OUP should've known better to hire the same person to write on both modernism and postmodernism.
评分The best that one can say here, and Iam saying it, is that post modernists are good critical deconstructors, and terrible constructors.
