There is much controversy about the nature of styles: modernism, postmodernism, and surrealism. This book counters the notion that the style terms, modern, postmodern, and surreal, have no non-trivial meaning or that we cannot tell the differences between modernist, postmodernist, and surrealist styles. The author dispenses with a commonly held idea that these styles cannot be present together in one and the same work of art.

When Kwame Appiah asked the question whether ?post? in ?postcolonial? was the ?post? in ?postmodern,? he challenged the theoretical tenets of both postmodernism and postcolonial studies and opened up a space for a dialogue, which unfortunately, only a handful of scholars have continued. This volume represents an attempt by Africanist scholars to intervene and change the course of current debates, which are being carried out with little or no thought to their applicability or relevance to African studies. The purpose of this study is not merely to present an ?African? version of postcolonial studies or postmodernism or to ?Africanize? their content and theory. Rather, it aims to re-situate these concepts and debates, which are at risk of being colonized by American and European academic provincialism. This collection considers perspectives from West, South, and East Africa as well as the Caribbean. It approaches current debates from the disciplinary perspectives of anthropology, history, linguistics, literature, philosophy, and sociology while dealing with a diverse range of issues including gender, race, ethnicity, and identity.Contributors to this volume include Grant Farred, Olakunle George, Zine Magubane, Alamin Mazrui, Amina Mire, Adlai Murdoch, Tejumola Olaniyan, Joseph Reilly, and Paul Tiyambe Zeleza.

Marx And The Postmodernism Debates written by Lorraine Landry and has been published by Praeger this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2000-09-30 with Philosophy categories.

This book is a meticulous argument for the contemporary value of Marx's democratic theory as an interpretive key for the postmodernism debates. Landry uses the works of Derrida, Foucault, and Lyotard to represent the poststructuralist camp and the writings of Habermas to represent the rationalist camp. Viable social critique, argues Landry, mediates between pure social constructivist and pure realist metaphysics. Postmodernism, although critical of Marx, aided the broader project of critical social theory, particularly Marx's critique of social-material contexts of oppression. Indeed, significant positive affiliations among Marx, Habermas, and the poststructuralists are found in their commitment to criticizing ideological aspects of bourgeois Enlightenment rationality and modernity. Landry employs a fruitful tension strategy as seeking rapprochement among the modern and postmodern positions on hotly debated contemporary issues such as subjectivity, criticism, and the nature of reason. Marxism continues to provide critical tools for articulating productive conflict within the postmodernism debates, advancing of strategies of critique beyond identity politics toward a more self-reflective ideological discussion of the multiple axes of power and oppression in political struggles over democracy. In this unique study, complex philosophical issues are described lucidly and their relevance for today is established compellingly.

At a time when the themes and motifs of French phenomenology have moved in an increasingly religious direction, God, the Gift, and Postmodernism raises with new energy Tertullian's ancient question, "What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?" Jacques Derrida, the father of deconstruction, engages here with theologian Jean-Luc Marion on the questions of mystical theology and the gift. Is the gift a matter of the overflowing excess of givenness, as Marion argues, or is it precisely what is never given, as Derrida maintains? Is mystical theology ultimately a higher way of affirming presence, or is it a path beyond the metaphysics of presence? Probing essays by the leading scholars in the field of postmodernism and religion spell out the terms of these important contemporary debates and related issues in clear, exciting, and timely form.
