Abstract:

modernism prevails in the period from the mid1960s to the end of the 20th century. For poststructuralism, it is also so. And poststructuralism, as an important wing of postmodernism, plays a significant part in the ideology and history of postmodernism. But postmodernism is not monolithic. It can be split up. Actually there are two kinds of totally different postmodernism. Only by distinguishing between these two different kinds of postmodernism, can we inherit the critical quality of Marxist theory and understand the real problem of postmodernism, walking finally out of postmodernism.
