This book touches all the bases and gives anyone interested a working handle on the high points. Considering the subject matter and the viewpoints it juggles, it's outstanding. In fact, anyone interested in taking this time through the material and thinking through the basic presentation of first principles (for lack a better term) can really come away with a sophisticated introduction. However, as is the case with people buying study guides, if you expect to be taught something as opposed to learning it (getting something for little effort) it will disappoint. It is after all, just a clever introduction to the high points. On that note, it is not a critical introduction. The relevant ideas are presented as if they are not contended (they are). I recommend it highly, however, anyone who wants a better, more thorough and rigorous introduction would do better with Christopher Butler's, Post modernism: A very short introduction, which is outstanding. If all you have time for is one introduction, and if you need that introduction to be clearly and well presented and thorough, Butler won't disappoint.
Let me first note that this review isn't for the print book but rather for the 2-hour audio presentation, which is a very different animal. Instead of just narrating the book, the presentation uses actors playing characters, sound effects, music samples, and interviews. In other words, the presentation format is itself postmodern, which I imagine was quite intentional. For the most part, this unusual approach works, though a significant negative is that some of the actor's accents were so strong that I had a hard time understanding them.The presentation starts with postmodern art, which I think was a mistake, since both art and postmodernism are each seperately plenty amorphous, so trying to combine them makes it doubly hard to clarify what postmodernism is. As a result, my evaluation of this presentation had dropped to 3 stars at the half-hour mark, and was flirting with 2 stars by the one-hour mark. But things started to improve after that, as much of the fog cleared during the second hour, so I was able to (barely) give 4 stars by the time I reached the end. However, 1 star is a bonus for the creative presentation, leaving only 3 stars if one were to judge this presentation based solely on clarity in introducing postmodernism.Personally, my sense is that the hallmark of postmodernism is a foundationless and dynamic pluralism in ways of knowing, ideas and worldviews, and forms of expression (artistic or otherwise - or maybe everything is artistic?). This is why it's so hard to pin down what postmodernism "is." The whole point is that postmodernism is the name for a situation in which there's no single prevailing worldview (or "meta-narrative"), rather than being a worldview itself.Some positive aspects of this situation are that we have diverse and ever-changing menus to choose from, we can express individuality by mixing ingredients with more freedom, and we generally open new vistas for creativity and enriching experiences in all spheres of life (arts, humanities, science, theology, etc.). This might even enable genuine progress in some arenas (eg, science, technology, and social organization), which is somewhat ironic since many consider the idea of progress to be contrary to the ethos of postmodernism.But some negative aspects are that building consensus can be very difficult (even with respect to basic values and standards), we may be too quick to disregard worthy traditions and important lessons from the past, and groundlessness and instability can be fragmenting and disorienting, potentially to the extent that we run the risk of altogether losing our grip on reality. In that regard, to those hyperintellectuals who assert that the virtual and real are blurred together, let me just bluntly point out the significant difference between virtual death (eg, in a video game) versus real death (eg, losing a loved one). Let's please remember that inability to firmly pin down reality doesn't mean there is no (objective) reality.Anyway, as I mentioned, I've given this presentation 4 stars, so I suppose I can recommend it, but keep in mind that clearer introductions to postmodernism are available, so this presentation might not be the best place to start.
I love the Introducing series. They are excellent study guides for topics that may be unfamiliar. They are generally not to detailed but provide a good jumping off point for further research.Introducing Postmodernism was a bit vague, but i guess so is postmodernism itself. To completely understand the book, you first must have an idea what postmodernism is, and if you have such an idea, you don't really need a postmodern study guide.It gives alot of examples of postmodernity in society without actually stating what postmoderninsm is, but who CAN acctually state what postmodernism is?It discusses everyone from Stephen Hawking to Madonna, everything from "Cyberia" and genetic cloning to Disneyland and karaoke.It might give you some ideas if you have to write a paper, than again it just might frustrate you and cause you to spin off into cyberspace.
Very VERY good intro.
It's a good graphic novel explanation of why modern art is creatively exhausted. What do you do, after breaking all the rules? If nothing is sacred, there's nothing left to protest.
This is a good book for those interested in contemporary art. Is art dead? what does it take to be radical nowadays when everything that has being done has already been done. =[
Highly recommend this book for all who are studying art and art history. Very interesting way of teaching it. great book
This is an extremely readable map through the art world of Postmodernism. It is a definitive guide to understanding the evolution of the art of today.
