includes socio-anthropological and anthropo-sociological
conversations between one of the world’s leading
anthropologists, Thomas Hyland Eriksen, and a young scholar, using
his groundbreaking "overheating" approach. From the pandemic
to the spread of nationalism, from the Anthropocene to the
Homogenocene, the authors discuss the most urgent issues of current
society: e.g., the loss of biological and cultural diversity
owing to the forces of globalisation; and the emergence of new
forms of diversity through globalisation and
migration;Â the intersectional dimension of climate change;
the incredible rising of anger demonstrations around the world and
resentful, overheated identities often linked to right-wing
nationalism; the way digital devices have changed the meaning of
temporality in people's life-worlds; the regulatory and
competitive pressures on universities which are a result of many
factors in the intersection of globalisation, massification and
marketisation; youth's weakened belief in progress connected
to changes in the contemporary world, such as growing
inequality, political alienation and environmental destruction;
recent pathbreaking research and original theory in sociology
and anthropology related to the changes in an overheated
world;Â and what post-Coronavirus social life might become.
Highly topical, engaging and written in a conversational style,
this book is a must-read for social scientists and discerning lay
persons who want a fresh perspective on understanding the critical
issues of our time.  This is an open access book.
