Transmodernity names the attempt to conceptualize the present beyond the exhaustion of modernity and the postmodern impasse. In a world traversed by globalization, virtuality, and the accelerated circulation of discourses, Rosa María Rodríguez Magda proposes a concept capable of articulating continuity and rupture--critique and reconstruction--without falling into Enlightenment rigidity or a simplifying relativism. This book does not aim to close a debate, but rather to open up a framework for understanding contemporary culture. With philosophical rigor, the author offers a theoretical tool to those seeking to interpret the tensions of our time and to rethink--without either naivety or cynicism--the horizons of subjectivity, politics, ethics, and aesthetics.
