<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>If you are like most people, you're not sure what Postmodernism is. And if this were like most books on the subject, it probably wouldn't tell you.</p><p>Besides what a few grumpy critics claim, Postmodernism is not a bunch of meaningless intellectual mind games. On the contrary, it is a reaction to the most profound spiritual and philosophical crisis of our time - the failure of the Enlightenment.</p><p>Jim Powell takes the position that Postmodernism is a series of maps that help people find their way through a changing world. <i>Postmodernism For Beginners</i> features the thoughts of Foucault on power and knowledge, Jameson on mapping the postmodern, Baudrillard on the media, Harvey on time-space compression, Derrida on deconstruction and Deleuze and Guattari on rhizomes. The book also discusses postmodern artifacts such as Madonna, cyberpunk, Buddhist ecology, and teledildonics.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jim Powell</b> lives in Santa Barbara, California where he enjoys surfing, writing, playing piano, and painting.
