The Postnormal Times Reader Volume 2

by Ziauddin Sardar (Editor), Shamim Miah (Editor), C Scott Jordan (Editor)

The book updates the theory and methods, offers new ways of developing scenarios, and suggest ways and means to engage communities in polylogues. It explores the notions of time, knowledge, ignorance, and modernity, and outlines potential futures beyond postnormal times based on decolonised creativity and mutually assured diversity. The reader also showcases how postnormal times theory is being used in diverse disciplines – from political science and international relations to science studies, education, museology and drama and theatre.

Postnormal times presents us with existential threats. Understanding the postnormal condition, the changing nature of accelerating change, is key to our survival.
