The modernity and postmodernity debates of recent years have tended
to direct attention towards frameworks of periodization, and away
from the social and cultural processes currently at work in the
world. This volume reverses the emphasis, to focus on modes of
authority and identity, and to examine the roles which existing and
new traditions may play in our epoch. It announces a new agenda for
contemporary social theory, moving beyond current debates over
(post)modernity.
The contributors include Mark Poster, Richard Sennett, Ulrich Beck, Margaret Archer, Mary Douglas and Thomas Luckmann.
