Postmodernism and Its Impact (2017)
The question, for me, is how did postmodernism gain traction. The texts of its founding fathers are notoriously difficult, sometimes headsplittingly so, especially in translation. It does not seem to offer any immediate benefit, any obvious solutions to problems that previous ways of thinking couldn&#x27;t solve. What made their peers go, aha! This is new, interesting and important stuff that I want to spend time learning and teaching to my students? How come it did not remain just a fringe cultural phenomenon?
