Postmodernism

A Very Short Introduction

De: Christopher Butler

Narrado por: Christine Williams

Postmodernism has become the buzzword of contemporary society over the last decade. But how can it be defined? In this highly engaging introduction, the mysteries of this most elusive of concepts are unraveled, casting a critical light upon the way we live now, from the politicizing of museum culture to the cult of the politically correct. The key postmodernist ideas are explored and challenged, as they figure in the theory, philosophy, politics, ethics, and artwork of the period, and it is shown how they have interacted within a postmodernist culture.

Christine Williams is a revelation

The narrator is terrific. She really owns the material. And this material is great. I am in sympathy with the author's view on this topic.

A wonderful succinct explanation of the massive phenomenon that is postmodernism. 

This is an excellent condensed explanation of the multifaceted, multidisciplinary, multicultural aspects, postmodernism attempts to criticize. 

Now I understand what postmodernism is!

I’ve read/listened to multiple books about this subject, but this book is the only one that gave me a systematic, progressive, noncondescending account and critique of the subject. The only problem is the robotic voice of the narrator, it didn’t bother my understanding, but still it deserves better narration.
Big “Thank You” to the author.

Basic but it’s gets to the point

I will listen to this book again. The author took the time to make important points about complicated subjects. Thanks

Awful Narration

Very good content yet awful narration. A bot reading this would not sound any different.
