Landscapes of Postmodernity: Concepts and Paradigms of Critical TheoryPetra Eckhard, Michael Fuchs, Walter W. Holbling LIT Verlag Münster, 2010 - 286 Seiten In Landscapes of Postmodernity, a group of young scholars link key concepts of postmodern thought to our present everyday experience in which we change our identities on a regular basis. While many of the essays look at less conventional modes of aesthetic representation - computer games, graphic novels, telenovelas, queer and animated films - others analyze more canonical works following less conventional approaches. Either way, the cultural and literary cartographies presented in this book allow America to be conceived as polymorphous or transnational, celebrating a new American self that is aware and proud of its non-Anglo-Saxon origins. |
