Jim Collins argues that postmodernism and popular culture have together undermined the master system of "culture." By looking at a wide range of texts and forms he investigates what happens to the notion of culture once different discourses begin to envision that culture in conflicting ways; constructing often contradictory visions of it simultaneously.

Amazing photos of a long gone eraBy Xavier AtlasThis is exactly how I like my photograph books: About old architecture; with tons of hi-res pictures occupying the whole or most of the page; but an essential description to go with it. You see; you delight yourself; you learn. And yo can watch them over; and over. I have to admit; all the pictures were new to me. Very good book which deserves to be bought by the Gilded Age interior decoration fan; and fans of that eras architecture.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Not a book you only read onceBy BRAXTON L WILLIAMSYou cant look at this book once and then put it down forever. I cant imagine anyone who wouldnt be impressed by the photos of the interiors presented here. A good collection; spanning different styles. Wow is not the word. I find myself picking this book up again and again just to get lost in these spaces.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
