The era of uprisings

Overview of the book The Age of Revolts - Michel Maffesoli: Maffesoli sees that modernity, which was based on the values of rationality, individualism, and central institutions, is experiencing its last moments. He points out that the manifestations of rebellion we see around the world - such as the yellow vests in France, protests against quarantine measures, and other popular anger movements - are nothing but expressions of the collapse of trust in elites and institutions, and of the return of the group and the collective feeling as a new axis of social action.
