Description
Stuart Hall's Modernity and its Futures is a comprehensive introduction to the forces reshaping modern industrial societies. This book explores the new patterns, structures, and relationships emerging in the contemporary world, including globalisation, environmental challenges, and cultural change.
The author examines the key debates about these changes and critically discusses them, looking back to the formation of modern societies and social science to explore the character of 'modernity' and its relationship to 'post-modern' societies. The book assesses whether the paradigms and theories used to analyse 'modern' societies are adequate for social formations today.
With selected readings from major social theorists, student questions, and exercises, this book is an invaluable resource for students on a wide variety of social science courses and anyone looking to understand modern societies and their analyses.
