In the last three decades there have been various diagnoses of the times we live in, all of which attest to a profound social change. Since the general diagnosis of a “new complexity” by the social philosopher Jürgen Habermas (1985), various attempts have been made to conceptualize and encapsulate the new social conditions, starting with postmodernism or postfordism, through to the risk society, the thrill-seeking society and the network society. Even if each of these attempts at definition has captured an aspect of the current dynamics of development, none of the descriptions has prevailed in characterizing a new society as a whole.
