Post-Modernism has been debated, attacked and defended for over
three decades. It is, however, not just a fashion or style but part
of a greater movement in all areas of culture, and one which
stubbornly persists like its parent, Modernism. "The Post-Modern
Reader" is a seminal anthology that presents this trend in all its
diversity, as a convergence in architecture and literature,
sociology and cultural theory, feminism and theology, science and
economics.
For this new edition, editor Charles Jencks, has provided an
entirely new definitive introductory essay 'What then is
Post-Modernism?' that reflects on the movement's coming of age. The
book also encompasses essential classic texts on the subject by
John Barth, Umberto Eco, David Harvey, Jane Jacobs, Jean-Francois
Lyotard and Robert Venturi, while incorporating new inclusions by
Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, John Gray, Ihab Hassan and Anatole
Kaletsky. Each text is introduced and contextualised for the reader
with a new short introductory passage.A new edition of a classic
