This introduction to postmodernism offers a comprehensive examination of postmodern theory and its application to the study of society. It surveys the work of theorists and explores the potential and limits of postmodern analysis across key areas of development, including deconstruction, semiotics, the new ethnography and feminist theory. This guide should be suitable as an undergraduate text for social and cultural theory courses and should appeal to students of social research methods.
