POSTMODERNITY SECOND EDITION by David Lyon
Shows postmodernity as the social condition of the twenty-first century. This book explores postmodernity as a theoretical concept and examines its historical roots and cultural dimensions. It pays attention to processes of globalization as well as to the postmodern view of cyberspace, cyborgs, and the body as a site of moral conflict.
"..written with enthusiasm and a commitment to clarity...Lyon shows that the employment of a sociological imagination can add new and unexpected depth to cultural analyses." - Keith Tester, University of Portsmouth
