If you fancy some reading that'll help you avoid coming across like an eager young pup and send you into the warming arms of cynical bastardhood just like me (tm) then try checking out the following:
Francis Fukuyama - The end of history and the last man
Peter Bürger - theory of the avant-garde
julian Stallabrass - art incorporated
they're actually pretty liberating and enlightening, but they will disillusion you with the contemporary "avant-garde" (and contemporary politics) pretty effectively. mind you, i'll probably reference them in my reading anyway, so...uh... sorry.
