      Postmodernism too often seems to be an evasive body of ideas rather than a clear-cut concept, mainly characterized by all embracing assertions. Yet it can be referred to as an intellectual project with specific roots and a historical development. This text traces the origins, evolvement and the politics of postmodernism through the key writings of postmodernist thinkers. The collection restores the poignancy so often lost - or even emphatically rejected - in the debate about postmodernism by focusing on central formative texts and the predominant thinkers we have come to associate with postmodernist theory. Michael Drolet's authoritative introductory essay and his careful selection of texts provide a solid basis for the study of postmodernism by uncovering the philosophical origins of present theories and focusing on their major aspects, thus clearing a path through the maze of knowledge that we call postmodernism. Arranged in three parts, the essays cover the origins of the term postmodernism, its evolution and its political ramifications. Included are writings by Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze, Baudrillard, Lyotard, Bauman, Jameson, Berman and Irigaray.
