Yet it remains baffling in its variety of definitions, contexts and associations. Beginning Postmodernism aims to offer clear, accessible and step-by-step introductions to postmodernism across a wide range of subjects. It encourages readers to explore how the debates about postmodernism have emerged from basic philosophical and cultural ideas. With its emphasis firmly on "postmodernism in practice," the book contains exercises and questions designed to help readers understand and reflect upon a variety of positions in the following areas of contemporary culture: philosophy and cultural theory; architecture and concepts of space; visual art; sculpture and the design arts; popular culture and music; film, video and television culture; and the social sciences.Source: PublisherGet bookBorrowEdit locationCancelCheck availability at libraries near youNo matching city or zip codeAvailable near youGeorge Mason University School of Lawhardcover, paperbackFenwick Library, Arlington Campus Library, Antonin Scalia Law SchoolPinnedPin librarySmithsonian Libraries and Archiveshardcover, paperbackSmithsonian LibrariesPinnedPin libraryShepherd University Libraryhardcover, paperbackScarborough LibraryPinnedPin libraryMore optionsOther editions19992009Manchester University PressViva Books Private LimitedHardcoverPaperback284 pages—Common terms and phrasesaestheticanalysisarchitectsarguesargumentartistsattemptBaudrillardBeginning PostmodernismBlade RunnerbodyboundariesbuildingchallengecharacteristicsCharles JencksconceptconsciousnessconstructioncontemporarycriticalcritiquecyberpunkdebatedeconstructiondisciplinesdiscoursedominantemergedernismessayexampleexplorationfeminismfeministfilmFredric JamesongenderGrossbergMore terms and phrasesShow lessSimilar booksBeginning TheoryAn Introduction to Literary and Cultural TheoryBy Peter BarryIn this second edition of Beginning Theory, the variety of approaches, theorists, and technical language is lucidly and expertly unraveled and explained, and allows readers to develop their own ideas ...
