Recensioner i media

“This impressively wide-ranging book suggests that there is an important distinction between postmodernism (the theories) and postmodernity (the practices) – between ‘literary and philosophical skepticism about foundations and reality’ and ‘post-war social developments.’ … the book has plenty of range, and this is one of the great pleasures of reading it.” (Karl Manis, University of Toronto Quarterly, Vol. 91 (3), August, 2022)
