Modern/Postmodern: Society, Philosophy, Literature offers new
definitions of modernism and postmodernism by presenting an
original theoretical system of thought that explains the
differences between these two key movements. Taking a contrastive
approach, Peter V. Zima identifies three key concepts in the
relationship between modernism and postmodernism - ambiguity,
ambivalence and indifference. Zima defines modernism and
postmodernism as problematics, as opposed to aesthetics, stylistics
or ideologies. Unlike modernism, which is grounded in an increasing
ambivalence towards social norms and values, postmodernity is
presented as an era of indifference, i.e. of interchangeable norms,
values and perspectives. Taking an historical, interdisciplinary
and intercultural approach that engages with Anglo-American and
European debates, the book describes the transition from late
modernist ambivalence to postmodern indifference in the contexts of
philosophy, literature and sociology. This is the ideal guide to
the relationship between modernism and postmodernism for students
and scholars throughout the humanities.
