Description

New York: Routledge [0-415-00706-2] 1988. (Trade paperback) Very good plus. 268pp. Bibliography, index. "'Postmodernism' is a word much used and misused in a variety of disciplines, including literature, visual arts, film, architecture, literary theory, history, and philosophy. A Poetics of Postmodernism is neither a defense nor a denunciation of the postmodern. It continues the project of Linda Hutcheon's Narcissistic Narrative and A Theory of Parody in studying formal self-consciousness in art, but adds to this both a historical and an ideological dimension. Modelled on postmodern architecture, postmodernism is the name given here to current cultural practices characterized by major paradoxes of form and of ideology". (Ideas, Critical Theory, History, Ideology, Literary Theory, Literature, Modernism, Poetics, Postmodernism).
