Description
In the
1980s
, the
term
"
postmodernism
" was
adopted
by
literary
critics
to
designate
what the
reigning
generation
of
artists
and
theorists
,
figures
like
Pynchon
,
Cage
,
Warhol
, and
Barthes
, had in
common
.
Postmodernists
shared
an
interest
in
presenting
words
,
sounds
, or
images
for their
own
sake
. They
questioned
the
ability
of
art
, or
even
language
in
general
, to
refer
to
anything
beyond
itself
,
adopting
for
themselves
a
fundamental
detachment
or
post-metaphysical
cool
.
Where
modernism
sought
profundity
,
originality
, and
ontological
grounding
,
postmodernism
was an
art
of
exhilarating
superficiality
,
unmoored
borrowing
, and an
enjoyable
lightness
of
being
. The
arrival
of
postmodernism
has
often
been
treated
as an
epoch-making
event
in the
history
of
Western
culture
.
John
Farrell
finds
these
claims
overblown
. In his
lecture
, he will
present
some
ambitious
theories
of what
postmodernism
meant
and
counter
them with
observations
of his
own
.
