Many good essays

This book has a bunch of good essays from notable people. They provide a good sample of the ideas, particularly Judith Butler, Susan Bordo, and Donna Harraway. The Andreas Huyssen essay attempting to define postmodernism in terms of art was required reading in architecture school, but Mary McLeod's essay on the subject was better for its coverage of architecture. Anyway, it is a useful book to have around.
