A GROWING BIBLIOGRAPHY

1. THE PROGRAMME itself produces ESSAYS closely or loosely related to the postmodern project.
2. We maintain a separate but related bibliography on the CREATIVE EXPRESSION of postmodern sensibility.
3. We also maintain a separate but related bibliography of POSTMODERN REFERENCES ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB.
4. The CRITICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY of postmodernism is vast and growing. Bertens (see below), for example, lists 15 pages of titles, running from Theodore Adorno and Max Horkheimer (the imaginative geniuses who sustained the Frankfurt School, Institute of Social Research) through the blockbuster figures of France (Baudrillard, Lyotard, Derrida; curiously Bertens has no separate entry for Foucault), to Americans such as Hutcheon, Jameson, Graff. The bibliography below shows readings of importance to THE PROGRAMME in its evolving state. It should not be seen as a bibliography in search of coverage or completeness. References such as Bertens provide such breadth.

The following bibliography is listed simply in alphabetical order by author. There are notes and quotes for some items, not others. Those not annotated are actively under review by THE PROGRAMME and notes and quotes will be added as they develop.
