Post-everything

<p>Postmodern postcolonial and post-truth are broadly used terms. But where do they come from? When and why did the habit of interpreting the world in post-terms emerge? And who exactly were the 'post boys' responsible for this?<br><br><i>Post-everything</i> examines why post-Christian post-industrial and post-bourgeois were terms that resonated not only among academics but also in the popular press. It delves into the historical roots of postmodern and poststructuralist while also subjecting more recent post-constructions (posthumanist postfeminist) to critical scrutiny.<br><br>This study is the first to offer a comprehensive history of post-concepts. In tracing how these concepts found their way into a broad range of genres and disciplines <i>Post-everything </i>contributes to a rapprochement between the history of the humanities and the history of the social sciences.<br><br>An electronic edition of this book is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND) licence.</p>
