Indispensable guide to the key ideas of contemporary thinking, explored through a wealth of criticism.
Postmodernism is more than just an intellectual theory. It is something we can see in action at grass roots, something that affects us all.
For some, postmodernism is liberation from a repressive culture; for others, it is symptomatic of cultural decline. Irony and Crisis maps the debates that have led to this impasse, combining a selection of key extracts from postmodern writings with detailed editorial comment on their relevance.
An invaluable resource for students across the full range of academic disciplines, as well as a book with wide popular appeal.
Stuart Sim is Professor of English Studies at the University of Sunderland. He is the author of Introducing Critical Theory and Lyotard and the Inhuman for Icon, and the Routledge Companion to Postmodernism.272pp 216 x 135mm paperback
