Synopsis
Michael Weinstein redefines the debates over modernism/postmodernism that dominate contemporary cultural studies, offering a daring and original alternative. He argues that the current era is neither a continuation of modernity nor a postmodern rupture, but a period of 'post-civilized modernity.', This text redefines the debate over modernism and postmodernism that has dominated contemporary cultural studies. It argues that the late 20th century is neither a continuation of modernity nor a postmodern rupture, but a period of post-civilised modernity, with a tyranny of culture over flesh.
