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. 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 crises of our time-the failure of the
Enlightenment. Jim Powell takes the position that Postmodernism is
a series of "maps" that help people find their way through a
changing world. "Postmodernism For Beginners "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 sci-fi, Buddhist ecology and teledildonics.
