New Media, Cultural Studies, and Critical Theory After Postmodernism: Automodernity from Zizek to Laclau (2009)

This book argues that we have moved into a new cultural period, automodernity, which represents a social, psychological, and technological reaction to postmodernity. In fact, by showing how individual autonomy is now being generated through technological and cultural automation, Samuels posits that we must rethink modernity and postmodernity.
