Synopsis

In 1979 Jean-François Lyotard sketched out the postmoderne condition, annoncions the demise of modernity. However, modernity perseveres, reinventing itself within shifting temporal contexts. As such, it is particularly relevant for us, as “latecomers,” to reflect on this historical, cultural, and social paradigm. This is the task undertaken by this interdisciplinary and international volume. Contributors include Bernard Bernier, Université de Montréal; Viviana Fridman, Université du Québec à Montréal; Mark Kingwell, University of Toronto; Gilles Labelle, University of Ottawa; Walter Moser, University of Ottawa; Alexis Nouss, Université de Montréal; Michèle Ollivier, University of Ottawa. Bilingual Edition.
