Cíle předmětu
The aim of the course is to introduce, debate and challenge the notion of the 'postmodern' both in its incarnation as 'postmodernity', denoting recent history's general social, economic and political orders, and 'postmodernism', understood as a set of particularized artistic, philosophical and cultural modes adopted in the historical period of 'postmodernity'. The students will be exposed to the complexity of 'postmodernism' and 'postmodernity' via a variety of texts, from philosophical and political writings to postmodernist fiction, music and cinema. These will be extensively discussed in the seminars. On completion of the course, which will take the form of an independent critical essay, the students will ideally have a confident grasp of the various philosophical, social, political and cultural practices to which the notion of the 'postmodern' has been put.
