1980年代、脱近代をめざした芸術家たちがそれぞれの分野で新たな活動を始めました。この現象はポストモダニズムと呼ばれ一世を風靡しましたが、単なる流行との見方もあり、その定義は難しいとされています。本書では、その主な思想を解明すべく、当時の芸術家たちはもとより、知識人や評論家の主張を通じて、その美学や哲学について掘り下げます。

  • Examines the aesthetic, philosophical, and political realms of postmodernism
  • Chris Butler writes lucidly and perceptively

  
Postmodernism has been a buzzword in contemporary society for the last decade. But how can it be defined? In this Very Short Introduction Christopher Butler challenges and explores the key ideas of postmodernists, and their engagement with theory, literature, the visual arts, film, architecture, and music. He treats artists, intellectuals, critics, and social scientists 'as if they were all members of a loosely constituted and quarrelsome political party' - a party which includes such members as Cindy Sherman, Salman Rushdie, Jacques Derrida, Walter Abish, and Richard Rorty - creating a vastly entertaining framework in which to unravel the mysteries of the 'postmodern condition', from the politicizing of museum culture to the cult of the politically correct.

著者について: 

Christopher Butler is Professor of English Literature at Oxford University, and is the author of many books, including Early Modernism (OUP, 1994).

"This VSI is a terrific book. If you've ever had doubts about post-modernism and its manifestations in art, literature and identity politics, yet wondered how intelligent people came to be influenced by it ... if you are open-minded enough to consider whether there is anything worthwhile about postmodernism rather than just be mocked or dismissed out of hand ... this VSI is the book for you." - ANZ LitLovers
