«Postmodernidad» is David Lyon's essay on contemporary social condition, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
The book analyzes postmodernity as the emerging social condition of the 21st century: central features of the modern world are questioned and eroded by new dynamics. Lyon describes it as a society under construction that does not imply leaving modernity behind, and examines the decisive transformations of the late 20th century.
Published in 1996, it is a translation of Postmodernity by Belén Urrutia. It belongs to Alianza Editorial's El libro de bolsillo collection (No. 1789, Humanities Section).
It will interest students and readers of philosophy, sociology and social sciences.
David Lyon is a sociologist who directed the Surveillance Studies Centre at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. He previously held a Queen’s Research Chair position and appointments in the Department of Sociology and the Faculty of Law at Queen's University.
