Ranging over various aesthetic forms (literature, film, music) in the period since 1960, this volume brings an antipodean perspective into conversation with the art and culture of the Northern Hemisphere, to reformulate postmodernism as a properly global phenomenon.

Focusing on the work of modernist authors, this volume discusses how time is represented in reverse forms in literature and culture during the first half of the twentieth century and how this became crucial to the formation of a planetary consciousness.
