From the Back Cover
Kevin hart steers a steady course through the pitfalls and perplexities of post-modernism, revealing the true 'meaning' ( if such a things exists) of this elusive concept. The reader will encounter the key thinkers, including Irigaray, Foucault, Baudrillard and Derrida as well as the key themes - the self, the fragmentary and the imaginary - and the key terms, including 'grand narratives' 'poststructuralism', and the 'seductive play of surfaces'.
