Revolving around the work of Jean-Francois Lyotard, 10 essays explore how postmodernism, as a site of contending philosophies and methodologies, can be used to teach the oppositional discourse by which to understand and respond to the changes in industrial society. Among the topics are the loss of innocence, legitimation, the role of the professor, feminism, and justice. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
