The Condition of Postmodernity
"The Condition of Postmodernity" is a book by David Harvey that explores the cultural, economic, and social changes that emerged in the late 20th century. It examines how the shift from modernity to postmodernity affects our understanding of time, space, and identity, emphasizing the fragmentation and diversity of contemporary life.
Harvey argues that postmodernity is characterized by a decline in grand narratives and ideologies, leading to a more pluralistic and relativistic worldview. This condition is influenced by globalization, technological advancements, and the rise of consumer culture, which together reshape our experiences and perceptions of reality.
