The postmodern turn
Bok av Steven Best
This book presents a groundbreaking analysis of the emergence of a postmodern paradigm in the arts, science, politics, and theory. From the authors of Postmodern Theory, the much-acclaimed introduction to key postmodern thinkers and themes, The Postmodern Turn ranges over diverse intellectual and artistic terrain/m-/from architecture, painting, literature, music, and politics, to the physical and biological sciences. Critically engaging postmodern theory and culture, Steven Best and Douglas Kellner illuminate our momentous transition between a modernist past and a future struggling to define itself. The Postmodern Turn is essential reading for anyone interested in the analysis of contemporary society, and serves as an ideal text for courses in social theory, cultural studies, architecture, art history, science studies, intellectual history, and contemporary theory.
