«Introducing Postmodernism», also «Postmodernism for Beginners», is Richard Appignanesi and Chris Garratt's graphic philosophy guide, in paperback.
The book explains what postmodernism is: the idea that modernity, initiated with the Enlightenment, Darwin and Marx, has exhausted itself. It covers structuralism, deconstruction, semiotics and cyberspace, and analyzes postmodern icons such as Lacan, Foucault and Umberto Eco, with parody and pastiche as hallmarks.
Published in 1995 by Icon Books and Totem Books, it belongs to the «Introducing Graphic Guides» series and consists of 138 pages in English.
It is aimed at readers with no prior background in philosophy who want a visual and concise approach to postmodernism.
