Description - The Troubles With Postmodernism by Stefan Morawski
What is postmodernity - a cultural breakthrough, or a cultural collapse? And what are its consequences for the arts - a new era of unprecedented creativity, or a state of acute crisis? And above all - is postmodernism a new and revolutionary phenomenon, or is it a radical (logical or misguided) development of modern culture, and particularly of its avant-garde tradition? What are the continuities? What are the discontinuities? These are just some of the questions which Professor Morawski asks and attempts to answer in his thoroughly original and eye-opening study. He summons uniquely wide evidence ranging from the experience of daily life in a consumer society, science and religion, visual arts, literature, film, television and the most arcane works of contemporary music. The author sets high standards for the notoriously inconclusive, and all too often confused, debate about the cultural significance of postmodernism and postmodernity; he shows how large is the volume of historical and artistic knowledge needed to seriously grapple with the issues involved in any conceivable answer to the query.
