'Charles Lemert is one of the most thoughtful and interesting of
sociology's postmodernists. He recurrently finds new angles of
vision and is especially helpful for overcoming the pernicious
opposition of 'micro' and 'macro' perspectives.' -Craig Calhoun,
New York University (on the first edition) Highly readable, the
second edition of Postmodernism Is Not What You Think responds to
the widespread claim that postmodernism is over. It explains the
historical connections between the postmodern and globalization.
Those who wish to kill the term postmodernism still must face the
facts that the former nationalistic world-system has collapsed and
is slowly being replaced by a more global set of structures. The
book is completely revised and updated with an entirely new section
on globalization. The media and popular culture, identity politics,
the science wars, politics and cultural studies, structuralism and
poststructuralism, and the new sociologies are also put in
perspective as signs of the new social formations dawning at the
end of the modern age. Lemert shows that the postmodern is less a
theory than a condition of social life brought about by the trouble
modernity has gotten itself into.
