The Post-Modern Reader, 2nd Edition by Charles Jencks, ISBN 9780470748664

> House & Garden Books > Homes & Interiors Books > Architecture Books Author: Charles Jencks The reader reprints extracts of key historical texts those of Daniel Bell on the post-industrial society and Jean-Fran ois Lyotard on the post-modern condition. The new cultural logic of contested pluralism is analysed in seminal papers by Andreas Hyssen and Jim Collins. The fundamental ideas on post-modern literature are defined by Umberto Eco, John Barth and David Lodge and the theories they present challenge the notion of post-modernism as an ultra avant-garde movement and the expression of a consumer society. For this second edition of the book, Charles Jencks will present a new overview of the Post-Modern, reflecting its maturity as a movement. New contributions will be sought from: George Soros on Reflexive Economics; the British Philosopher John Gray on the way religion colours the debate; Mathew Collings on Post-Modern Art; Hans Bertens on Post-Modern theory; Greg Lynn on Complexity in Architecture; and Benoit Mandelbrot on Fractals.
