Subject Description | This subject is an introduction to the major theories of postmodernism as a cultural and aesthetic category and postmodernity as a socio-historical concept, demonstrating their application to the critical analysis of literature, cinema, television and architecture. The subject combines a strong emphasis on theory with opportunities for case studies of specific postmodern texts, both verbal and visual, aiming to provide students with a general understanding of the theories of postmodernity, and of postmodernism as a set of aesthetic tendencies and stylistic practices evident across the arts and entertainment media. |
