Where Is Post-modernism Going? What Is Post-modernism?
Post-Modernism is now a worldwide movement in all the arts and disciplines. Post-Modern politics varies from the conviction politics of Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair to the search for a new liberalism that can combine multiculturalism and universal rights. The book is divided into four sections covering the history, culture and the changing face of post-modernism. The most radical idea of this challenging book is the conclusion: the notion that the post-modern world does not mean the end of metanarratives, but something quite different. In the fifth edition of this seminal work, Charles Jencks once again updates the text applying what Post-Modern now means in a post-millennium world, that has had to face such cataclysmic events, a 9/11, the tsunami, and Hurricane Katrina.
