Summary

Postmodernism is in transition. Its influence on cultural and media studies has been immense, and still continues to dominate debates on late twentieth century culture. This Reader explores its rich and diverse nature, focussing on cinema, television and video. It combines now classicstatements from Jameson, Baudrillard and Creed with new perspectives on youth, gender and ethnicity which extend the debates 'beyond postmodernism'. The essays are supported by a substantial introduction and headnotes which draw out common themes, pinpoint contemporary issues, and offer directionfor further study.
