In this controversial contribution to the Giddens debate, Stjepan Mestrovic takes up and criticizes the major themes of his work - particularly the concept of 'high modernity' as opposed to 'postmodernity' and his attempted construction of a 'synthetic' tradition based on human agency and structure.<BR> Testing Giddens' theories against what is happening in the real world from genocide in Africa to near secession in Quebec, Mestrovic discerns in the construction of synthetic traditions not the promise of freedom held out by Giddens bSociologyMethodologyPostmodernismSocial structureSociologyGreat BritainElectronic books.SociologyMethodology.Postmodernism.Social structure.Sociology301.01301.092301/.01306.092Tucker Kenneth H.476415MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450259003321Anthony Giddens and modern social theory244112UNINA01188nam0 22002651i 450 UON0021096820231205103334.85003-335-5697-620030730d1995 |0itac50 baengGB|||| |||||ˆThe ‰Soviet Union and the origins of the second world warRusso-German relations and the road to war, 1933-1941Geoffrey RobertsNew YorkMacMillan Press1995.
