WiSe 17/18: V-Lit. Stud.: Periods-Genres-Concepts I: Postmodern Theory and Literature
Stephan Laqué
Comments
The subject of modernism both belongs to and is ‘subject to’, i.e. dominated and conditioned, by a comprehensive crumbling of certainties, by mounting contradictions and a sense of limitation, fragmentation and relentless acceleration. Postmodern thought does not tray to redress this sense of uncertainty and dislocation, but sets out to offer a more affirmative approach to these challenges, an approach which is intent on embracing and exploring the late-modern situation in bold and often witty ways. Looking at exemplary texts from theory and literature, this lecture explores postmodernism’s responses to the late-modern crisis of representation and subjectivity.
