Abstract
Representation is the wedge between modernity and post-modernity. If the advocates of postmodernity are to be believed, modernity has exhausted itself. The new can be no more, for the very idea of creativity, in the arts as well as in science, is itself obsolete. As a consequence, history is no more; it has been replaced by the melancholy assemblage of past moments. Theory is dead. The Master narrative, be it capitalism, socialism, Marxism, or what have you, has been thrown over in favor of "local narratives": truth has been reduced to a shadow of its former self.
