Para/inquiry: Postmodern Religion and Culture

Voorkant
Psychology Press, 2000 - 145 pagina's

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.
