Stephanie Velona

Ok my first time blogging and I already had to edit my blog posting.

McKee in his introduction gives us an overview of what will be presented in his text. He tells us point blank that his position will be a postmodern one. He will be exploring cultures through the concept of modernism and postmodernism throughout the rest of the book. He will be approaching subjects in this book by "assuming that the levels of identity that matter most are the ones that the people concerned think matter most, in their own lives." I will be very interested to see how he is able to do this while always coming from a postmodern position. He will also be using negative terms to refer to cultures in an attempt to "embrace the negative term and argue that, from a postmodern perspective it is in fact a positive thing..." I will be interested in the results.
