Books by Elizabeth Deeds Ermarth

Offers a definition of postmodernism as a reformation of time. This book demonstrates the crisis of our dominant idea of history and its dissolution in the rhythmic time of postmodernism. It discusses several crises of cultural identity: the crisis of the object, the crisis of the subject, and the crisis of the sign.

This acclaimed study explores how the common denominators of modernity, neutral time and neutral space, were constructed from the Renaissance to the late nineteenth century.
