One of the most fascinating stories in contemporary cultural history is how the social conditions of the postmodern world and postmodern philosophy have conspired to destabilize our sense of self. Proposing a variety of perspectives that answers the legitimate concerns of selected postmodern thinkers, this course aims to enhance students` understanding of difference in the context of postmodern relations. The text-based orientation of this module also shows that postmodern space, though accessible to others, is imbued with a special significance. It is through the possibility of such textual 'encounters' that students will be able to assert a sense of agency and development that has previously been denied.
