3.0 out of 5 stars An Okay Book, February 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cultural History and Postmodernity (Paperback)
Poster's work is basically about how Foucault and other poststructuralists are great in understanding phenomena of the "past." Unfortunately, the crux of his argument doesn't appear until the final chapters where he reads (and misreads) de Certeau and Foucault. It's good that he tries to cross disciplinary boundaries, but his reading and articulation of "cultural history" is just too narrow.

1.0 out of 5 stars Clueless Francophile Jargon, June 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cultural History and Postmodernity (Paperback)
Yet another tiresome volume devoted to post-everything pseudo-disciplines. Poster has almost nothing original to say, but that doesn't stop him. Read on, if you must, to be regailed yet again with clueless francophile jargon about our postmodern, post-colonial, post-structurlist, post-disciplinary society and you just may go postal.
