Postmodernism and Its CriticsMcGowan focuses on the influence of Kant, Hegel, Marx, and Nietzsche and shows how the model of the artist as opponent of commercial culture has evolved from Romanticism to the present. He addresses three prominent critical discourses: poststructuralism in the writings of Derrida and Foucault; revisionist Marxism in the works of Jameson, Eagleton, and Said; and neopragmatism as represented by Lyotard and Rorty.
