Description: We are not yet at a moment that can be called postmodernity, says sociologist Ben Agger. In this study he borrows from French postmodern theory and the Frankfurt School's critical theory to address the shortcomings of postmodern theory for understanding identity, culture, race, gender and power.
Synopsis: We are not yet at a moment that could be called postmodernity, and may never be, says leading sociologist Ben Agger in his newest book. Modernity is still our history, our framework. Nevertheless, Agger shows how postmodern theory can enhance understanding of the self, everyday life, and culture in the early 21st century. Changes in culture, commerce, and communications, such as the internet, require 'postmodern' modes of knowing.
