Modernity and Postmodern Culture (Issues in Cultural and Media Studies)

Modernity and Postmodern Culture critically assesses claims made about the 'postmodernization' of culture and society and explores the complex interplay between the modern and the postmodern in an increasingly 'globalized world'. The author argues that although culture may be 'postmodern' in terms of art, entertainment and everyday life, modernity still exists and is pervasive.The book is key reading for students on courses in cultural politics, cultural theory, popular culture and sociology.
