Much more than post-modern: power, civil society and democracy in radicalized peripheral modernity
Abstract
The article reflects freely on the process of radicalization of the modern, focusing on some topics and problems that arise from the objectivation of this process under “peripheral conditions.” Starting from the hypothesis that radicalized peripheral modernity lives with a dynamic of institutional difficulties and of an “organizational suffering” that deregulates social practices and blocks the actions of civil society, the text investigates the chances of democratic power in a historical and social situation that seems to be not only breaking apart, but also losing the typical centers of reference, authority and order.
Key words: radicalized peripheral modernity, organizational suffering, individualization, democratic power, civil society.Downloads
