«La era del vacío» is an essay by Gilles Lipovetsky on contemporary individualism, published by Anagrama in hardback (222 pages, in Spanish).
Lipovetsky starts from the idea that postmodern society has diluted the great political narratives and places the individual at the centre: apathy, narcissism and indifference. In six studies he examines how seduction displaces conviction, transforms violence, makes culture humorous and exhausts the idea of the avant-garde.
Work included in Anagrama's Argumentos collection, number 83. Translation by Joan Vinyoli and Michèle Pendanx. The French original, L'ère du vide, was published in 1983.
For readers interested in social philosophy, sociology and cultural criticism of postmodernity.
Gilles Lipovetsky is a French philosopher, writer, and sociologist.
