Synopsis

The question of what modernity is is of classical significance to sociology. Major events such as the collapse of socialism or phenomena of globalization and transnationalization challenge the validity of modernization theories that emanated from a linear process of rationalization and westernization. In this volume, modernity is considered culturally theoretical: as a complex historical as well as global constellation of different, partly contradictory sense systems and practices.

With contributions by Johannes Angermüller, Ulrich Bröckling, Shmuel N. Eisenstadt, Bernhard Giesen, Karin Knorr-Cetina, Matthias König, Scott Lash, Michael Makropoulos, Shalini Randeria, Hartmut Rosa, Urs Stäheli and Peter Wagner
