Postmodernism

the long version

"Postmodernism: A Reader gathers in one volume a comprehensive selection of articles, essays, and statements by leading figures -- among them Lyotard, Habermas, Jameson, Baudrillard, Eco, and Rorty -- writing across the divergent terrains on which the struggles over postmodernism are taking place: in the fields of philosophy and politics, in the artistic and cultural avant-garde, architecture and urbancity, feminism and ecology, and in the Third World. The material assembled here enables a serious and rigorous consideration of the question "Are we at -- and should we endorse -- the end of modernity?" -- Back cover.
