What is postmodernity - a cultural breakthrough, or a cultural
collapse? And what are its consequences for the arts - a new era of
unprecedented creativity, or the state of acute crisis? And above
all, is postmodernism a new and revolutionary phenomenon, or is it
a radical, logical or misguided, development of modern culture, and
particularly of its avant-garde tradition? What are the
continuities? What are the discontinuities? These are just some of
the questions which this study asks and attempts to answer. It
draws upon a wide range of evidence: from the experience of daily
life in a consumer society; science and religion; visual arts and
literature; film and television; and the most arcane works of
contemporary music. The author sets high standards for the
notoriously inconclusive, and all too often confused, debate about
the cultural significance of postmodernism and postmodernity; he
shows how large is the volume of historical and artistic knowledge
needed to seriously grapple with the issues involved in any
conceivable answer to the query.
