Beyond Postmodernism: Onto the Postcontemporary is a collection
designed to provide the reader with an alternative to viewing the
world through the lens of Postmodernism. Contributors to this
collection utilize and define such critical tools as transhumanism,
post-post theory, posthumanism, and postcontemporary theory. Other
essays focus on interpreting texts or genres, yielding impressive
conclusions that were "beyond" the scope of postmodern discourse.
Electic in nature, while examining works as diverse as Julia Ward
Howe's The Hermaphrodite and Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses, yet
unified in a commonsensical statement that postmodernism has
perhaps ruled too long in critical discussions, this collection is
also designed to attract those seeking or awaiting something new in
critical methodology to consider joining in the postcontemporary
dialogue.
