A Poetics of Postmodernism: History, Theory, Fiction 1st Edition by Linda Hutcheon (PDF)

Description

First published in 1988. Postmodernism” is a word much used and misused in a variety of disciplines, including literature, visual arts, film, architecture, literary theory, history, and philosophy. A Poetics of Postmodernism is neither a defense nor a denunciation of the postmodern. It continues the project of Hutcheon’s Narcissistic Narrative and A Theory of Parody in studying formal self-consciousness in art, but adds to this both a historical and ideological dimension. Modelled on postmodern architecture, postmodernism is the name given here to current cultural practices characterized by major paradoxes of form and of ideology. The “poetics” of postmodernism offered here is drawn from these contradictions, as seen in the intersecting concerns of both contemporary theory and cultural practice.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Product was in physical good shape as order description read—delightful. Equally important, product was delivered in a very timely manner, which makes me feel valued as a customer.

⭐In a sea of books about postmodernism, some are so thickly theoretical reading them feels like wading through mud. Others are amazingly boring. Hutcheon manages to have a sense of humor about postmodern strategies that often use humor, and she’s quite readable. I read the synopses and reviews of a lot of books, and I’ve read a number of books about pomo, but this is the one that covers what I really want to see.

⭐Excellent tool in understanding the specifics of postmodernism.

⭐This is an excellent study. Read it with Fredric Jameson’s Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism (cultural analysis of pomo), Brian McHale’s Postmodernist Fiction (formalist analysis of pomo), and Amy Elias’s Sublime Desire: History and Post-1960s Fiction (literary historical treatment of historical pomo) and you’ve got a great library about postmodernist literature.

⭐Manual que utilizo en el aula. Cumple las expectativas, ya lo conocía y lo utilizo a diario. Eso es todo.
