Mateus Henrique de Faria Pereira and Valdei Lopes de Araujo convincingly argue that we live in a time of Updatism', the temporal dimension that emerges in those societies imprisoned by the structures of infinite expansion, and that this Updatism has profound consequences for how we think about the past, the present and the future.   Using the theoretical works of Lyotard and Heidegger as its foundation, 'Updatism' and the Understanding of Time and History analyses our digital modernity and the significance of key themes, such as updating, solitude, democracy, internet, exposure, postmodernism and historicism. It discusses aspects of our present time that reveal substantial differences between the historicist-modern time, usually located in the 19th century, and an emergent chronotope' or regime of historicity' understood and explained here as Updatism.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53187309764951,"sku":"9781350410725","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/updatism-and-the-understanding-of-time-and-history-9781350410725","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
