Kundenrezensionen
With the possible exception of an orchestral symphony translated into smoke signals, it's impossible to imagine a more egregious mismatch between content and medium of expression than this. After about five pages, you realise that the splash of illustrations not only are not an aide to comprehension, they are embarrassingly redundant.
Postmodernism is an enormous field of thought, so much so that almost any author who has written an essay on it that claims to be an introduction begins with the apologetic preface that the subject virtually defies synopsis. Not these guys! Apparently the whole issue can be explained to even a novice with a series of pictures: words are almost an afterthought. How's that for scholarship?
This series of books is quite simply the worst class of 'infotainment' you could encounter. The assumption that nobody will tackle these topics unless that are sweetened-up as 'fun' (i.e, comic strips) is an insult to anyone trying to grasp a complex topic. The whole format is built upon the tacit assumptions that learning can only be achieved through the medium of entertainment; that the potential buyer has a miniscule attention span; and that the most widely-scoped, recondite topics can all be boiled down to a comic strip. Please don't think this is academic elitism: if you think you'll come away from this book with a rounded view of the topic, do buy it. But I think you'll find that like so many other publications in the series, this book mentions everything and explains nothing.
The artwork and text make this such a joy to read that I didn't want to put the book down until I had finished it. And like the very nature of postmodernism, it left me with enough thought-provoking ideas to want to question how I look at art or the world. It didn't try to pass itself off as the only authority on the matter, yet it did provide a great overview with research into the past that went beyond the standard notions of textbook history.
