Description

Anxiety and Lucidity examines contemporary culture as fundamentally shaped by anxiety, drawing on foundational sociological and philosophical concepts to understand modernity. The author synthesises ideas from Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud to argue that modern anxiety culture represents the inverse of risk culture, which sustains itself by concealing or normalising the social phenomena inherent to risk society. Through investigation of memory, politics, art, clairvoyance, national identity, and community, this Routledge volume reveals critical fissures in contemporary cultural frameworks and provides essential theoretical understanding of how anxiety manifests across social and cultural domains, making it vital for scholars and students of social theory, sociology, and cultural studies.

Key Features

Anxiety and Lucidity applies Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud's ideas to understand modern culture through a sociological and philosophical lens.

This Routledge book examines how anxiety culture functions as the inverse of risk culture, concealing social phenomena of risk society.

The volume explores anxiety across multiple domains including memory, politics, art, national community, and identity formation.

Part of the Classical and Contemporary Social Theory series, this work provides theoretical frameworks for understanding cultural unrest.

Designed for sociology, anthropology, and social theory scholars seeking deeper analysis of modernity and cultural anxiety.
