Covering a wealth of authors and literature from Baudrillard to
Foucault, from Freud to Lacan, from Plato to Heidegger, from the
study of women's fashion to Girardian perspectives on the sacrificial
victim, Fire and Roses shows that the "postmodern theme" is something
much more than the play of disconnection and diversity. Postmodernism
is, in fact, a kind of "epistemology" of the somatic remainder that
has been the "stranger" in the house of Western thought.
