Sommario/riassunto |
|
Postmodernism in Pieces performs a postmortem on what is perhaps the most contested paradigm in literary studies, breaking postmodernism down into its most fundamental orthodoxies and reassembles it piece by piece in light of recent theoretical developments in Actor-Network-Theory, object-oriented philosophy, new materialism, and posthumanism. |
