In 'Keys," for example, Dr. Berardo notes: The importance of keys in our lives comes abruptly into focus whenever we misplace or lose them. Our minds...

Modernity and Identity
ISBN: 9780631175865 / Angielski / Miękka / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modernity and Identity is a groundbreaking collective work which announces a radical new departure within contemporary debates on modernism and postmodernism.

Modernity and postmodernity are shown to mean, not the 'end of the subject' but the transformation and creation of new forms of subjectivity. Anthropological...
