"Intelligent and well-informed, Hutcheon's book (which also supplies the reader with a generous bibliography), in its reference to a multitude of verbal and visual texts as well as critical writings on the subject, is an excellent text for pedagogical purposes." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description
In The Politics of Postmodernism, Linda Hutcheon explores major examples of postmodern photographs and literary works, Hutcheon investigates the paradoxical nature of a project which, deconstructing our culture from a position squarely within, ultimately reinforces the cultural codes and conventions as much as it seeks to subvert them. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
