In this provocative and timely book, John Docker takes his readers on an intellectual adventure. The journey includes an introductory guided tour of the history of modernism, consideration of the development of postmodernism, explanation of the difference between structuralism and poststructuralism and discussion of the debates and conflicts around each. Along the way readers will visit the architecture of Le Corbusier, take a ride on the Sydney monorail, watch Prisoner (Cell Block H) on TV, come into contact with Derrida, read some crime fiction and enter into the world of carnival. The book engages, in a stimulating and illuminating way, with some of the most important academic debates of our time. It combines polemical force with intellectual rigour, reclaiming popular culture from the forces opposed to it. John Docker's personal style and accessible prose will introduce postmodernism to many interested general readers and students intimidated by other dense, theoretical tracts. The breadth and intelligence of his cultural history will make the book essential reading for scholars, in a range of disciplines, around the world.Popular cultureStudy and teachingPopular culturePostmodernismPolitical aspectsPostmodernismSocial aspectsElectronic books.Popular cultureStudy and teaching.Popular culture.PostmodernismPolitical aspects.PostmodernismSocial aspects.700/.9/045Docker John.163452MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450420903321Postmodernism and popular culture484727UNINA01237nam 2200421 450 991079503800332120200520144314.01-5275-0983-4(CKB)4340000000265288(MiAaPQ)EBC5351342(Au-PeEL)EBL5351342(CaPaEBR)ebr11547042(OCoLC)1032000878(PPN)233189238(EXLCZ)99434000000026528820180622d2017 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSamuel Beckett and Europe history, culture, tradition /edited by Michela Bariselli, Niamh M.

Each volume in a series of SpringerBriefs on NIC and the financial crisis provides in-depth coverage of the impact of the crisis, the aftermath, future prospects, and policy implications for a regional cluster.  This volume focuses on France, Germany, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.SpringerBriefs in Economics,2191-5504 ;13Intellectual capitalEconomic aspectsEuropeGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009EuropeEconomic conditions21st centuryIntellectual capitalEconomic aspectsGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009.330Lin Carol Yeh-Yun941421MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298552703321National Intellectual Capital and the Financial Crisis in France, Germany, Ireland, and the United Kingdom2543170UNINA
