Jerome Klinkowitz presents an opening attempt to define
postmodernism as it applies to the arts and culture.
"Rosenberg/Barthes/Hassan" discusses the work of three critics who
came to prominence in the 1960s, an era of social, ideological, and
aesthetic turmoil. Sharing a disdain for modernism's
authoritarianism, elitism, and sterile preoccupation with despair,
the three critics called for a postmodern art that would emphasize
action, reality, and immanence and offer fresh envisionings of the
world.
Klinkowitz traces the progression of thought that links the work
of critic Harold Rosenberg, who introduced the concept of "action
painting"; the semiotician Roland Barthes, who redefined art,
culture, and ideology as language systems; and visionary literary
scholar Ihab Hassan, whose works call for nothing less than a
rethinking of man's place within the material and spiritual
universe.
