The Academic Postmodern and the Rule of Literature: A Report on Half-Knowledge
David Simpson
This critique of the postmodern turn discusses the distinctive aspects of postmodern scholarship: the pervasiveness of the literary and the flight from grand theory to local knowledge. Defining features of postmodern thought are also discussed here such as storytelling and localism.
