Leading social theorist Alberto Melucci builds on his highly influential Nomads of the Present to consider collective action in the postmodern age of information. Challenging Codes shares the social psychological perspective of its companion volume The Playing Self.
In Challenging Codes Melucci brings an original perspective to research on collective action which both emphasizes the role of culture and makes telling connections with the experience of the individual in postmodern society. The focus is on the role of information in an age which knows both fragmentation and globalisation, building on the analysis of collective action familiar from the author's Nomads of the Present. Melucci addresses a wide range of contemporary issues, including political conflict and change, feminism, ecology, identity politics, power and inequality.
