{"product_id":"postmodernism-twenty-first-century-culture-and-matt-graham-9781032556031","title":"Postmodernism, Twenty-First Century Culture, and American Fiction: Establishing the Continuum","description":"\u003cp\u003ePostmodernism's 'end' is a complex and contentious topic. Yet, one overarching consensus emerges: the postmodern has been surpassed. This book poses a thought experiment challenging this position - what if postmodernism persists within the twenty-first century?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than designate a new epoch or coherent movement, this book interrogates the fragmented, contradictory, and counterintuitive endurance of postmodern aesthetics within post-Cold War America. An alternative use of postmodern aesthetics becomes possible when they are decoupled from their twentieth-century historical location. Collectively, these repetitions posit a postmodern continuum, contrasting the widely called-for succession of postmodernism via this decoupling. When postmodern aesthetics are no longer unconsciously repeated within their cultural moment, this emergent shift within a period 'after' postmodernism presents an alternative historical positioning and use. After their cultural vanguard, postmodern aesthetics become a confrontation of the chaotic realism of an inescapable post-Cold War capitalism, tapping into this cultural zeitgeist through literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matt Graham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 103255603X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032556031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Matt Graham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175803138303,"sku":"9781032556031","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c233ea84-65ee-4089-bdab-51b388b879da.jpg?v=1771336002","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/postmodernism-twenty-first-century-culture-and-matt-graham-9781032556031","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
