What is postmodernism? What was postmodernism? Is it just a sense of fun and playfulness, or a creed that leads to tasteless denials that the Gulf War ever happened? Is it a celebration of the sense of an ending which came with the close of the Twentieth Century, or an ironic critique of capitalism? Should we sail full speed ahead for the abyss?
In this book (best enjoyed whilst listening to Finnish-Hindi fusion blues and eating a hamburger in Red Square) the ideas of leading postmodern theorists such as Jean-François Lyotard, Jean Baudrillard and Fredric Jameson are explained and examined, and the brave new virtual world of postmodern science fiction is explored, as well as the intersection of feminism and postmodernism. A whole range of books, films, artists and tv series are discussed from the point of view of postmodern aesthetics. Finally a number of arguments against Postmodernism are taken into account.
This book is safe if inwardly digested. Accept no substitute.

Bob Ford tries to avoid teaching in York and in his spare time worries that his affect has waned.
