Description
Summary:Mojsieva-Guseva presents an outline of postmodernism--as defined by the well-known theories of F. Lyotard, J. Derrida, J. Baudrillard and M. Foucault--and attempts to locate its emergence in Macedonia within the framework of international postmodern trends, while also highlighting certain specific aspects of Macedonian postmodern prose.

Among other things she concluded that in a postmodern manner--the statement of the Enlightenment that the word, speech, common sense and the mind rule the world, has been broken and misted over in the postmodern era.
