This book explores the nature of modern culture as a culture of
anxiety, analyzing the modes in which such anxiety presents itself.
Drawing on sociological and philosophical concepts of modernity,
the author builds on the work of Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud to
offer an understanding of modern anxiety culture as the reverse
side of risk culture, which stabilizes itself by concealing or
making familiar the social phenomena of risk society. Through
explorations of memory, politics, art, clairvoyance, notions of
national community, and identity, this volume sheds light on the
fissures in our culture where anxiety appears, thus revealing its
underlying volatility. A study of the ruptures in our modern
culture, Anxiety and Lucidity will appeal to scholars of sociology,
social theory, anthropology, and philosophy with interests in late
modern culture.
