For all readers interested in the relationship between contemporary art, culture, and society, this book will serve as a guide to the general structure and focus of Postmodern critical discourse. The essays reprinted were selected to demonstrate the complexity and interrelatedness of the relevant issues. They are divided into five groups delineating the main philosophical, theoretical, and critical issues of current Postmodern art and criticism. An extensive introduction to each of the five critical positions serves to fill the "spaces" between the essays and provides a context for the critical discussions in the essays that follow. The essays and introductory texts provide a framework for discourse, allowing the reader to engage in further critical reading and thinking.
