Contemporary Cowboy Culture. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Nov 2008, Pages: 196
Postmodern culture eludes many researchers who
desire to capture its essence through modern
theoretical perspectives and techniques such as
neopositivism. Researchers armed with the expertise
and tradition of the scientific method attempt to
tame this new beast with numbers, statistical
analysis and careful calculation. Yet, it eludes.
Others attempt to categorize and make sense out of
postmodernism, to define it. In contrast, this work
is a journey, a journey into the phenomenology of
postmodernism. Unexpected shifts on this journey
lead to the core of a unique revelation. Readers are
invited to look, and to experience this trek.
Cowboys, simulacra and Hurricane Katrina appear at
first glance in this work, but look past the
pastiche surface of appearance and discover its
revelatory depth and disclosure.
