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 cliche?, 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. 410 0$aUtrecht publications in general and comparative literature ;$v23. 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century$xHistory and criticism$vCongresses 606 $aCriticism$xHistory$y20th century$vCongresses 606 $aPostmodernism (Literature)$vCongresses 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aCriticism$xHistory 615 0$aPostmodernism (Literature) 676 $a809/.04 701 $aCa?linescu$b Matei$0686079 701 $aFokkema$b Douwe Wessel$f1931-2011.$0198984 712 02$aInternational Comparative Literature Association.$bCongress$d(11th :$f1985 :$eParis, France) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815903203321 996 $aExploring Postmodernism$93987256 997 $aUNINA
