The Condition of Postmodernity

In recent years, a lot has been written about the "postmodern situation", which is used to describe today's world, and about postmodern culture, architecture, art and society. In The Condition of Postmodernity, David Harvey initially examines the different meanings of the term and discusses to what extent it is appropriate and useful to use this conceptualization in understanding social life after modernism. However, The Condition of Postmodernity promises much more than that as a book. The author establishes a social history of modernism throughout the period from the Enlightenment to the present day and examines its expressions in political and social thought and movements, art, literature and architecture. The most striking and specific emphasis of Harvey is how our perceptions of time and space change throughout time and space and how this change affects the values ​​and social processes of individuals. This book is not only for those directly related to social sciences,
