If Postmodernism is dead where do we turn? →
panther: [Edit: I wonder if the whole problem with the argument made here is that it expects culture to be an object or artefact with an author. While I equally wonder about the ‘quality’ of currently cultural output such as Big Brother, surely that is because we look at it as an object. What is meaningful in these cultural products is the process of production, not the product. The aesthetic of...
