Summary

What makes a piece of art 'postmodern'? What makes an experience 'postmodern'? Does 'postmodern' mean a lack of meaning? Kevin Hart steers a steady course through the pitfalls and perplexities of post-modernism, revealing the true 'meaning' (if such a thing exists) of this elusive concept. The reader will encounter the key thinkers, including Irigaray, Foucault, Baudrillard and Derrida as well as the key themes -- the self, the fragmentary and the imaginary -- and the key terms, including 'grand narratives', 'poststructuralism', and the 'seductive play of surfaces'.
