Overview
Pfeil’s work on postmodernity is distinct from the spate of their works on the subject in its insistence on the social base of postmodern practices within today’s professional managerial class, and in his endeavour both to use and to criticize Marxist, feminist, psychoanalytic and poststructuralist thought in order to illuminate our present political impasses and openings.
From his audacious reading of the film River’s Edge as the terminus of the vexed history of bourgeois narrative, and his analysis of Reaganite oedipality in Back to the Future, to his unsettling meditation on the ‘poststructuralist paradise’ embodied in contemporary SF, Pfeil sorts through a welter of contemporary cultural texts and practices for the glimmerings of a postmodern narrative and politics that may truly be ‘another tale to tell’.
