Description
Now in paperback, Fredric Jameson's most wide-ranging work seeks to crystalize a definition of "postmodernism". Jameson's inquiry looks at the postmodern across a wide landscape, from "high" art to "low" from market ideology to architecture, from painting to "punk" film, from video art to literature.

About the Author

"The scope and profundity of Postmodernism, covering theory, architecture, film, video, and economics, is truly staggering. . . . Brilliant . . ."--Siauddin Sardar "The Independent"

"For anybody hoping to understand not just the cultural but the political and social implications of postmodernism . . . Jameson's book is a fundamental, nonpareil text."--Gilbert Adair "Sunday Times (London)"
