How do global processes affect personal and social consciousness? What interplay exists between local and global forces? In Global Modernities, a stellar cast of contributors-including Zygmunt Bauman, Jonathan Friedman, Ann Game, and Göran Therborn-offer superb commentary and analysis on the interplay between the local and the global across a broad range of areas. Focusing on two major themes-social theory and social change-contributors provide powerful critiques of previous positions on the study of modernity that have tended to prioritize history. They argue for a self-reflexive approach to modernity, stressing the fluid character of interdependence and movement. Identity, memory, association, and practice are viewed as nonreducible to the nation-state. Similarly, the western path of social development is subjected to principled criticism. | Global Modernities by Mike Featherstone, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
