On Postmodernism

Dear students,

As I told you last (our first!) class,  Linda Hutcheon (more enthusiastic) and Fredric James (much more skeptical) are two of the critical writers who have helped to establish the critical fortune of the term "postmodernism." Here are some links for articles by/on them that can be found online.

2. Jameson, Fredric - not really an essay by him but a synopsis of his ideas in the influential book Postmodernism, or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism (1991): https://www.cla.purdue.edu/english/theory/postmodernism/modules/jamesonpostmodernity.html

Further:...

Hutcheon, Linda. "The Politics of Postmodernism: Parody and History" Cultural Critique, No. 5, Modernity and Modernism, Postmodernity and Postmodernism. (Winter,1986-1987), pp. 179-207
