Abstract

This article seeks to find and analyze relations between Postmodernism, New Marxism and Progressive criticism at thematic and epistemological levels. In common parlance of contemporary Urdu criticism Postmodernism is dubbed as antagonist of Progressive thinking and Marxism, but the author of this article presents a different view referring to critical texts of Urdu and Euro-American ones. It has been tried to establish that Postmodernism relies on new left philosophy particularly founded by Frankfurt school after Second World War. It has been mentioned that thinker like Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida referred to New Marxism in some of their writings.
