“…As Hutcheon (1991) has pointed out, parody has acted as a form of both modern and postmodern political resistance. However, in the case of culture jamming, parody might be more usefully conceived as an element in the toolbox of contemporary cultural and visceral resistance, similar to what Hassan (2001) writes in relation to postmodernism:…”

The Y2K bug was a global media event of the twentieth century, only to fade from view after an anticlimactic change of millennium. This article argues that a reexamination of the text of the Y2K bug illuminates the contemporary cultural construction of value in information and networking technologies. Through the examination of a broad range of media reports and articles, this article illustrates how a hegemonic discourse is creating scales of value that have a profound impact on resource allocation. However, the Y2K bug also illustrates how this discourse is subject to its own gaps in meaning, or internal dissociations, as well as to a variety of creative external attacks, including culture jamming.

“…And like a ghost, it eludes definition" (Hassan, 2001, p. 1). This said, however, Hassan maintains that the mutability of an idea in the course of time is inevitable, and not necessarily a discouraging concern.…”

“…From this perspective, Hassan argues that, "this is only to confirm Nietzsche's insight, that if an idea has a history, it is already an interpretation, subject to future revision. What escapes interpretation and reinterpretation is a Platonic Idea or an abstract analytical concept, like a circle or a triangle" and that various paradigms will accordingly "shift and slide continually with time, particularly in an age of ideological conflict and media hype" (Hassan, 2001, p. 1).…”

Abstract-Inevitably wrought by the socio-historical context in which they occur, literary genres transform in the course of history, and gothic is not an exception. Since its rise in the late eighteenth century, the gothic genre has significantly evolved: from ruins, graveyards, and vampires to echoes of romantic imagination and towards gothic science-fiction. This study argues that gothic has renewed itself in the postmodern context, in the sense that the characteristic features of the genre as materialized in the supernatural are replaced with mysteries, terrors, and ghosts that haunt the contemporary self's inner mind. Thus a proliferation of vampires, doubles and ghosts has given way to the haunted vaults and obscure shadows within the characters' inner worlds. In particular, this paper addresses the concept of self and the postmodern gothic as reincarnated in Paul Austers' The New York Trilogy by relating the notion of 'self' to space, self-reflexivity, the uncanny, and doubles.

“…The effects of this postmodern "crisis in narratives" can also be seen in the rupturing of positivism found in social theory and the dismantling of universal paradigms of justice and morality found in philosophy (Barthes, 1967;Cilliers, 1998;Hassan, 2001;Lyotard, 1984).…”
