Postmodernity David Lyon 2. Ausgabe

This text provides an introduction to postmodernity and the debates surrounding it. Lyon traces the lineage of the concept, the key thinkers who have contributed to its development and its possible futures. He explores its relationship to postmodernism in the arts, whether it might be placed as an end of millenium phenomenon, if the judgement that we are already in a postmodern condition is premature, and how some aspects of modern and postmodern culture and belief are still available and viable.
