Abstract: | The article discusses the meaning of modernity approaching it from several starting points. The modernity is seen here as a set of dynamics, not a final state of being, and the author goes on to underline that living in and with modernity is a complex and contradictory process and that it is more useful to view the institutions and regimes of modernity as formations rather than structures. |
