Through a multidisciplinary approach, the authors examine key conflicts that traverse different types of modernity, from the formation of moral universals after the Holocaust to the role of populism in current globalization. The book also explores the construction of collective memory, violence, and the body, and presents case studies on specific modernities: the Nordic, Ibero-American, Chinese, and the Southern European case of Spain. An essential read for understanding the challenges of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is structured into two clearly differentiated parts. The first analyzes fundamental axes of conflict that shape current modernities. It addresses the formation of moral universals based on the experience of the Holocaust, proposes an alternative history to the \"disenchantment of the world\" to understand modern culture wars, and examines the role of populism in modernization and globalization processes. It also studies the construction of national collective memory, articulated between the unborn, the dead, and the living, and offers a new perspective on violence and bodies, taking the cases of Argentina and Mexico as a reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second part of the book focuses on the analysis of specific modernities and their particular trajectories. It includes works on Nordic European modernity, Ibero-American modernities, Chinese modernity, and Southern European modernity, exemplified by the case of Spain. In this way, the work offers a comparative and plural vision of how contemporary challenges are manifested and faced in different geographical and cultural contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSocial theory and sociology of modernity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGlobalization and its effects on social and  political structures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePopulism as a political phenomenon in contexts of modernization.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCollective memory and the construction of national identities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eViolence, body, and power in contemporary societies (cases of Argentina and Mexico).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eComparative analysis of modernities: Nordic, Ibero-American, Chinese, and Spanish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for students, academics, and professionals in sociology, political science, anthropology, and cultural studies.
