«Postmodernity» is the sociology essay by David Lyon, published by Open University Press in paperback (112 pages, in English).
Introductory essay on postmodernity and its debates. David Lyon reconstructs the genealogy of the concept, presents the thinkers who have developed it and explores its possible futures. It analyzes its relationship with postmodernism in the arts, whether it is a fin-de-millennium phenomenon and whether it is premature to speak of an already postmodern condition.
Belongs to the «Concepts in the Social Sciences» collection from Open University Press. Edition published in September 1994, with bibliographic references (pp. 87-99) and index.
Intended for university students and readers with academic interest in sociology, philosophy and the history of ideas.
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.
