- The 281-page book is the product of a ten-year interdisciplinary investigation. Extending over 8 chapters—of which several are equivalent in size and scope to a single output—it draws on approx. 1500 primary and secondary sources in four major European languages. By far the most expansive study of the ‘postmodern turn’ in recent social science literature, it provides an original approach to the ‘postmodern turn’ across five areas of inquiry: epistemology, methodology, sociology, historiography, and politics. Endorsed by prominent scholars (Baert, Bauman, Calhoun, Harding, Ritzer, Seidman and Žižek), it was reviewed in more than 25 academic journals.
