Automodernity: Autonomy and Automation after Postmodernity -- Henry Jenkins: Cultural Studies, New Media and the Ends of the Modern University -- After Frederic Jameson: A Practical Critique ofPure Theory and Postmodernity -- The Political without Politics: Slavoj Zizek and the Psychoanalysis of Automodernity -- On the Psychopathology of the New Right: From Jurassic Park to the Gendered Culture Wars -- The Automodern University: The Universal Individual and the Backlash Against Social Discourse -- Grand Theft Automodernity: Globalizing Individualism and Cultural Nihilism from Eminem toThe Matrix -- Postmodern Education and Social Ethics after Automodernity -- Taking Back the Automodern University: Postmodern Progressive Social Movements and the Academic Class System-- Beyond The Zizek-Laclau Debate: Coalition Politics and Academic Theory after Obama.

This book argues that we have moved into a new cultural period, automodernity, which represents a social, psychological, and technological reaction to postmodernity. In fact, by showing how individual autonomy is now being generated through technological and cultural automation, Samuels posits that we must rethink modernity and postmodernity. Part ofthis rethinking entails stressing how theprogressive political aspects of postmodernism need to be separated from the aesthetic consumption of differences in automoderntiy. Choosing culturally relevant studies of The Matrix, Grand Theft Auto, Eminem and Jurassic Park, he interpretsthese medias through the lens of eminent theorists like Slavoj Zizek, Frederic Jameson, and Henry Jenkins. Ultimately, he argues that what defines postmodernity is the stress on social construction, secular humanism, and progressive social movements that challenge the universality and neutrality of modern reason.
