The Post-Modern Reader : John Wiley & Sons, Inc. : 9780470748664 : 0470748664 : 19 Nov 2010 : Post-Modernism has been debated, attacked and defended for over three decades. It is, however, not just a fashion or style but part of a greater movement in all areas of culture, and one which stubbornly persists like its parent, Modernism. The Post-Modern Reader is a seminal anthology that presents this trend in all its diversity, as a convergence in architecture and literature, sociology and cultural theory, feminism and theology, science and economics. For this new edition, editor Charles Jencks has provided an entirely new definitive introductory essay `What Then is Post-Modernism?' that reflects on the movement's coming of age. The book also encompasses essential classic texts on the subject by John Barth, Umberto Eco, David Harvey, Jane Jacobs, Jean-Francois Lyotard and Robert Venturi, while incorporating new articles by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, John Gray, Ihab Hassan and Anatole Kalet
