Essays in Postmodern Culture

In an attempt to bridge the gap between theory and practice in postmodern studies, the essays that make up this volume illuminate some of the issues central to this provocative analytical approach. These works apply theory to practical subjects, and, in the process, articulate new theoretical positions. Topics include the relations between food and the symbolic, AIDS and individuality, Marxist politics in the context of postmodernism, the consequences of technology for publishing, the construction of ethnicity and gender in new literary work, and the politics of culture in Russian and Latin America.Amiran, Eyal is the author of 'Essays in Postmodern Culture' with ISBN 9780195087536 and ISBN 0195087534.
