It has been used by philosophers, sociologists, art critics and literary historians to become, finally, a household word in the language of advertising and politics. Before letting it fade to a derelict cliché, an attempt is made in this volume of essays to use its potential as a cultural concept for the analysis and understanding of contemporary literature and thought.Utrecht publications in general and comparative literature ;v. 23.Literature, Modern20th centuryHistory and criticismCongressesCriticismHistory20th centuryCongressesPostmodernism (Literature)CongressesElectronic books.Literature, ModernHistory and criticismCriticismHistoryPostmodernism (Literature)809/.04Călinescu Matei686079Fokkema Douwe Wessel1931-198984International Comparative Literature Association.Congress(11th :1985 :Paris, France)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461430103321Exploring Postmodernism2074206UNINA
