Summary:Debunking the central theoretical tenets of postmodernism with reference to identity, methodology, governance and modernist theory, this book engages with social issues and events in popular culture - for example, film; professional power, masculinity and terrorism. It rethinks postmodernism in light of variables of analysis of time and ageing. There has been an array of literature on the notion of 'postmodernism' in social science literature in recent years. This exciting book focuses on three broad continuities: one - debunking the central theoretical tenets of postmodernism with reference to identity, methodology, governance and modernist theory; two - the book engages with current social issues and events in popular culture - for example, film, professional power, masculinity and terrorism; and, three - the book also rethinks postmodernism in light of under-researched variables of analysis of time and ageing, the 'body', 'biology' and 'choice'.
