Modern/Postmodern: Society, Philosophy, Literature
Autor Professor Peter V. Zimaen Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 aug 2010
Modern/Postmodern:
Society,
Philosophy,
Literatureoffers
new
definitions
of
modernism
and
postmodernism
by
presenting
an
original
theoretical
system
of
thought
that
explains
the
differences
between
these
two
key
movements.
Taking
a
contrastive
approach,
Peter
V.
Zima
identifies
three
key
concepts
in
the
relationship
between
modernism
and
postmodernism
-
ambiguity,
ambivalence
and
indifference.
Zima defines modernism and postmodernism as problematics, as opposed to aesthetics, stylistics or ideologies. Unlike modernism, which is grounded in an increasing ambivalence towards social norms and values, postmodernity is presented as an era of indifference, i.e. of interchangeable norms, values and perspectives.
Taking an historical, interdisciplinary and intercultural approach that engages with Anglo-American and European debates, the book describes the transition from late modernist ambivalence to postmodern indifference in the contexts of philosophy, literature and sociology. This is the ideal guide to the relationship between modernism and postmodernism for students and scholars throughout the humanities.

a
valuable
synthesis
and
overview
of
the
debates
surrounding
the
postmodern
in
the
fields
of
philosophy,
social
theory,
the
arts,
and
history.
Systematically
making
distinctions
between
the
modern
and
the
postmodern,
Zima
provides
a
comprehensive
analysis
of
existing
debates
and
his
own
original
contributions
in
a
book
rich
with
insight."
