Description

In 1979, Jean-François Lyotard sketched out the postmodern condition, announcing the demise of modernity. However, modernity perseveres, reinventing itself within shifting temporal contexts. As such, it is particularly relevant for us, as ‘latecomers’, to reflect on this historical, cultural and social paradigm. This is the task undertaken by this interdisciplinary and international volume.
