Everything, All the Time, Everywhere: How We Became Postmodern (Vsyo Vsegda Vezde)
23.39£
Stuart Jeffreys (born 1962), a British journalist, Guardian columnist, and author of several books, this time offers readers a panoramic, or rather kaleidoscopic, overview of the half-century-long history of postmodern(ism)—either a cultural paradigm, a style, or a condition that has confused the proponents of linear historical narratives and seemingly mixed up everything: high and low, old and new, truth and fiction, art and pop culture, etc. The book's heroes include philosophers, politicians, artists, startup founders, film directors, architects, musicians, and activists, representatives of all spheres of cultural (and only cultural?) production, who have contributed to the 'great blurring of boundaries,' which has called into question all hierarchies (instead of them, now there is everything), temporal boundaries (everything is now always), and boundaries themselves (everything is everywhere). Jeffreys, in turn, questions postmodernism itself in a postmodernist manner, showing that the emancipatory charge embedded in it by neoliberal capitalism has not worked, but at the same time he recognizes that once we have become postmodernists, there is no way back.
