This text provides an introduction to postmodernity and the debates surrounding it. Lyon traces the lineage of the concept, the key thinkers who have contributed to its development and its possible futures. He explores its relationship to postmodernism in the arts, whether it might be placed as an end of millenium phenomenon, if the judgement that we are already in a postmodern condition is premature, and how some aspects of modern and postmodern culture and belief are still available and viable.

Trenchant and panoramic, The Origins of Postmodernity traces the genesis, consolidation and consequences of the notion of the postmodern. Beginning its exhilarating intellectual tour in the Hispanic world of the 1930s, it follows the changes in the meanings and usage of the concept through to the late 1970s, when its adoption by Jean-Franois Lyotard and Jrgen Habermas first gave the idea of postmodernism wider currency. Central attention then falls on Fredric Jameson, whose work today represents the most outstanding general theory of the postmodern. Reconstructing the intellectual and politica

Media, War and Postmodernity investigates how conflict and international intervention have changed since the end of the Cold War, asking why Western military operations are now conducted as high-tech media spectacles, apparently more important for their propaganda value than for any strategic aims. Discussing the humanitarian interventions of the 1990s and the War on Terror, the book analyzes the rise of a postmodern sensibility in domestic and international politics, and explores how the projection of power abroad is undermined by a lack of cohesion and purpose at home. Drawing together de
