Are there no new ideas to be invented? Are today's ideas really just
borrowed from previous times? Postmodernism says this is so, and it's
one of the hottest philosophies of today. The book provides an
indispensable guide to this often-demanding terrain for readers
encountering theories of postmodernism for the first time and places
the subject in a broad context. It introduces a wide range of ideas,
thinkers, and views yet maintains the readers' focus by linking theory
with concrete examples from both "high" and "popular" culture. After
completing Teach Yourself Postmodernism, readers will never look at
their world the same way again.
now, may the unfinished modernity fetish boys stand up and make
criticism of postmodernism that doesnt whine about its unreadability...

> Noam Chomsky on postmodernism.
Isn't it the catch that postmodernism is a critique,
whereas modernism was/is a movement ?
I think the work of those guys I mentioned to be of
profound relevance to film. And the postmodern tag
to be merely a convenient McGuffin.
Vis: Primarily the Art movie (Tarrantino not included),
and its bedfellow, Art music, perhaps with literature
and several of the other arts.

Well, the metasystem transition guarantees that new ideas are formed
from old, in fact, ideas are formed at the meta level to the
substrate, forming a whole new organism via paradigm shift.
So.......surprise, surprise, surprise, Gomer, there are new ideas!
"All you are is just another system forming a metasystem transition."

> Noam Chomsky on postmodernism.
That's been posted a few times. I kinda wonder why, since
Chomsky firmly refuses to support the criticism he's
directing at Derrida and others. "...sorry to make unsupported
comments," he says, "but I was asked, and therefore am
answering." All we've got here is Chomsky giving his two cents.
Maybe less. Chomsky says he hasn't read very far into the
material he's attacking and grants he understood only some
part of that little. So while he says it wouldn't be worth his
time to offer evidence, it's less than clear that he could
back up his criticism even if he felt like going to the trouble.
In one place, tho, Chomsky accidently hits the nail on the
head, thumping himself with his own hammer:
