Reconstructing Postmodernism

There has been an array of literature on the notion of 'postmodernism' in social science literature in recent years. This exciting book focuses on three broad continuities: one - debunking the central theoretical tenets of postmodernism with reference to identity, methodology, governance and modernist theory; two - the book engages with current social issues and events in popular culture - for example, film, professional power, masculinity and terrorism; and, three - the book also rethinks postmodernism in light of under-researched variables of analysis of time and ageing, the 'body', 'biology' and 'choice'.
