The Vertigo of Late ModernitySAGE, 16.02.2007 - 231 Seiten The Vertigo of Late Modernity is a seminal new work by Jock Young, author of the bestselling and highly influential book, The Exclusive Society. In his new work, Young engages with some of the most important concerns facing society today. He brings a fresh, intellectual perspective and offers a new dimension to sociological and criminological theory. He deals with the impact that major social issues have on the modern world, as well as the way in which society and individuals respond to these issues. The book looks at key areas including: Identity and questions of the 'normal' and the 'other' Deviance and disorder Social exclusion and the underclass Work and welfare Punitive cultures Immigration Terrorism This major new work explores the fundamental debates that need to be addressed in a late modern world filled with inequality and division. Through discussion of these issues Jock Young points toward transformative politics which tackle problems of economic injustice and build and cherish a society of genuine diversity. The Vertigo of Late Modernity is essential reading for academics and advanced students in the areas of criminology, sociology, cultural studies, anthropology and the social sciences more broadly. |
