Postmodern Principles

Rainer Kensy

Chapter 2 in Keiretsu Economy — New Economy?, 2001, pp 31-74 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract As already mentioned in the previous chapter, it is not feasible to present an amoeba-like, formless but, nevertheless, descriptive concept such as postmodernity like a butterfly pinned out in a display case.1 It is equally impossible to provide a detailed history of the term or a fundamental history of the concept, since it is not possible to identify any linearity in the course of the argument, nor is this the aim of postmodernism.2 The dominate discussions within postmodernism concern the issue of the independent existence of postmodernity within or after modernity and the issue of the content of the postmodern debate. Whitehouse aptly comments: ‘Like Postmodernism itself, then, the debate [about it] is a markedly eclectic event.’3
