Stuart Jeffreys, British publicist, Guardian columnist, author of several books, including “The Grand Hotel Abyss: A Biography of the Frankfurt School,” published in Russian by Hell Marginham Press, this time offers readers a panoramic, or rather a kaleidoscopic overview of the half-century history of postmodernism to date - either a cultural paradigm, or a style, or a state that has confused the cards for adherents of linear historical narratives and mixed, it seems, everything and everyone: high and low, old and new, truth and fiction, art and pop culture, etc. Among the heroes of the book are philosophers, politicians, artists, startups, filmmakers, architects, musicians and activists, representatives of all spheres of cultural (and only?) production who have contributed to “ the great erasure of boundaries,” which called into question all sorts of hierarchies (instead of them now everything), time boundaries (everything is now always) and borders themselves (everything is everywhere). Jeffries, in turn, postmodernly questions postmodernism itself, showing that the emancipatory charge inherent in it by neoliberal capitalism has not worked, but at the same time admits that once we have become postmodernists, there is no way back.
