Title
The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge (Theory and History of Literature, Volume 10),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Many definitions of postmodernism focus on its nature as the aftermath of the modern industrial age when technology developed dynamically. In The Postmodern Condition JeanFrancois Lyotard extends that analysis to postmodernism by looking at the status of science, technology, and the arts, the significance of technocracy, and the way the flow of information and knowledge are controlled in the Western world. Lyotard emphasized language; the world of postmodern knowledge can be represented as a game of language where speaking is participation in the game whose goal is the creation of new and everchanging social linkages.
