Description: Comprises set of essays written on and about 'postmodernism' and education. This book considers the 'end' of literature and the beginning of user-generated cultures and the implications of this shift for education and the philosophical model of dialogue that has dominated the humanities in the West.
Synopsis: The Last Book of Postmodernism comprises set of essays written on and about `postmodernism' and education. It is written in an apocalyptic tone that treats themes of religion and spiritualism, drawing on poststructuralist sources of inspiration, to contrast the present `postmodern condition' and the philosophical significance and historical influence of Nietzsche's statement `God is dead.' The book considers the meaning of the `end' of Christendom and the prospect of global spirituality. It also considers the `end' of literature and the beginning of user-generated cultures and the implications of this shift for education and the philosophical model of dialogue that has dominated the humanities in the West. It charts the `end' of philosophy and the rise of `body' criticism, the promise of the Enlightenment, the relation between education, power and freedom, geophilosophy and the pedagogy of the concept, and the narrative turn as a basis for a new critical language for educational studies. Finally, the book considers post-postmodernism and the `end' of the linguistic turn in educational theory.
