Experts to discuss postmodernism
By PAUL SCHRAG
Philosophers define today's rapidly changing culture as postmodern, but they're still trying to decide exactly what postmodern means.
Staff writer
In quest of a better definition, about 150 experts on philosophy, literature, architecture and political science will gather Thursday through Saturday at the University of Kansas to present papers and discuss theories at the annual conference of the International Association for Philo-
The topic of the conference is postmodernism, which means many things to many people, said Bill Martin, a philosophy teaching assistant and assistant organizer of the conference.
"Our culture is in flux," Martin said. "Reference and meaning have gone wild. It's up for grabs what culture is about.
"I think the conference will speak to the possibilities of postmodernism. There's a certain element of crisis in it, but some are enabling and exciting."
Gary Shapiro, professor of philosophy and conference organizer, said postmodernism described a culture that was suspicious of ideas saying that human beings could continuously improve their lives and that absolute truth exists. But postmodernism isn't only negative, he said, because it affirms new and creative ways to solve problems.
Martin said postmodernism emerged at different times in different areas of culture. Generally, it began after World War II, he said.
Postmodernism is relevant to
many areas of study, Martin said, and the conference will enable participants to discuss the relationships between postmodern ideas in various disciplines.
Professors from across the country will participate in the conference, including several well-known scholars.
"I think it will be regarded as an important conference not only because we've got well-known, big-name people," he said, "but because there's a tremendous enthusiasm among us for these critical issues at a lot of people's minds. What kind of society is this? What kind of society is it going to be?"
The most prominent participants, Martin said, will be Richard Bernstein, a philosopher known for his writings on relativism; Kenneth Frampton, a historian and critic of architecture; Fredric Jameson, one of the world's most important Marxist literary theorists; and Gayatri Spivak, a literary theorist known for her writings on feminism, Marxism and deconstruction.
Martin said the evening sessions would be the most interesting parts of the conference for the public. They will be in one of the auditoriums in Wescoe Hall if the air-conditioning system is working.
Scholars will discuss papers they have written at morning seminars. They will present their papers at afternoon panels and will give more presentations and responses at plenary evening sessions.
For example, Jameson, who will participate in the plenary session at 5 p.m. Saturday, often illustrates his ideas by talking about popular films, Martin said.
