Para/Inquiry represents the next generation of postmodern studies. Focusing on cultural studies religion, and literature, Victor E. Taylor provides us with a fresh look at the history and main themes of postmodernism, both in style and content.
Central to the book is the status of the sacred in postmodern times. Taylor explores the sacred images in art, culture and literature. We see that the concept of the sacred is uniquely singular and resistant to an easy assimilation into artistic, cultural or narrative forms.
Anyone wishing to gain a new and exciting understanding of postmodernism, will read this book with great pleasure.
Victor E. Taylor teaches in the Department of English and Humanities at York College of Pennsylvania. He is co-editor of Postmodernism: Critical Concepts (Routledge 1998) and the Routledge Encyclopedia of Postmodernism: Disciplines, Terms and Figures (Routledge forthcoming). He is also the editor of the on-line Journal for Cultural and Religious Theory.
