The Balkanization of the West: The Confluence of Postmodernism and Postcommunism
ISBN: 9780415087551 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the perspectives of postmodernism and post-Communism - central to discussion in this work - the butchery in former Yugoslavia is a special case because this violence is occurring in the heart of Europe, a continent which had promised never to tolerate such a bloodbath again. Consideration of rational solutions seems incapable of getting to grips with the problem. The author argues that the media have reduced the world audience to a collective voyeur passively watching, monitoring, and observing crimes against humanity in former Yugoslavia. The Balkan war has produced the Balkanization of...
