For my final dissertaion I am studying Postmodernity in Red Dwarf and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I was wondering if anybody on here had read any scholarly articals or books that they would suggest. Thank you for your time Joe Creator Topic Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) Author Replies January 23, 2008 at 6:00 pm #119635 Seb PatrickKeymaster There are a lot of analytical articles buried here on G&T – particularly the ones by Austin, which aim to place Dwarf in a wider context of sci-fi and literature – that you can find if you root around a bit. Unfortunately, since moving the current system we haven’t yet been able to sort out a proper archiving system for easily finding them. We are looking into it, though, and in the meantime I’ll see if I can dig out some links for you.

Andrew, is there anything from the older days that might be helpful?)

I’d be happy to send you a copy – just drop me a line on ianiansymes at gmail.com January 23, 2008 at 6:53 pm #119640 Jonathan CappsKeymaster > and in the meantime I?ll see if I can dig out some links for you.

Joe might take it seriously! January 25, 2008 at 2:10 am #119658 peas_and_cornParticipant Are you referring to ‘postmodernity’ as in the whole “the authour is dead” definition? Or one of the other definitions? January 25, 2008 at 2:25 pm #119676 climbingjoe1984Participant Hey guys thank you very much! Im lookign at many aspects of postmodernity, the end of the grand narrative is one of my key themes, but as you mentioned the death of the author is also extreamly intresting when looking at the two texts with such varied inputs into there autorship. Joe January 25, 2008 at 5:57 pm #119696 Seb PatrickKeymaster *hangs head* I misread your original post, I thought you were talking about postmodernism in a literary sense; but you mean postmodernity in a cultural/social/philosophical sense, don’t you?

You massive idiot… :oP Author Replies Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) Scroll to top • Scroll to Recent Forum Posts You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
