Political Modernity and Beyond
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-041-08414-3 (ISBN)
It asks whether a transition is unfolding and whether a new phase of modernity is emerging, or whether it is only an inflexion that we are witnessing, with the prepandemic imaginary and institutions retaining their strength, apart from smaller adaptions. Drawing on a range of cutting-edge contributions emerging from a conference at the Social Sciences Institute of University of Lisbon, it tackles issues of democracy, statehood, empire, coloniality, authoritarianism, the Anthropocene and the social bond, to offer a systematic analysis and conceptualization of ongoing changes. It offers a global perspective on the debate. Empirical and theoretical threads are brought together by the idea that we are transitioning to a world somehow yet unknown but whose contours we can already fathom.
An innovative, empirically based and path-breaking analytical contribution it will appeal to specialists, researchers and postgraduate students of sociology, social theory and political theory.
