Synopsis

A day-by-day instruction book for the contempory scene, LIFE'S LITTLE DECONSTRUCTION BOOK is a work of inspired imitation! Here is an introduction to theoretical posturing, a commentary on postmodernism, a subversive satire - and a tribute to thelove-hate relationship many of us have with fashionable ideas. Melding the corporate and computer lingos that permeate our lives, with media slang and cultural theory, this little book produces pleasure without pain. Infused with humour, intellectual rigour - and a certain poetic sensibility - it requires no commitment, yet still delivers in a very few words!

About this title

Synopsis

This tiny manual provides an introduction to theoretical posturing, a commentary on postmodernism, a subversive satire, and a tribute to the love-hate relationship many of us have with fashionable ideas - all in a very few words. Like postmodernism itself, this is a work of imitation, melding cutting-edge cultural theory with the corporate and computer lingos that permeate our lives.
