Summary

Modernity and Postmodern Culture critically assesses claims made about the 'postmodernization' of culture and society. The author argues that although culture may be 'postmodern' in terms of art, entertainment and everyday life, modernity still exists and is pervasive. This new edition is updated throughout using new case studies and examples, to review the effects of postmodernism, update the literature and look at international events through a modernist/postmodernist gaze. The book is key reading for students on courses in cultural politics, cultural theory, popular culture and sociology.
