Abstract
"The globalising and unsettling forces of capitalism, technology, climate changes, mass media and popular culture, chart a reality marked by fleetness, disorientation and rapid social change. Millions of people have reacted by identifying themselves with religious fundamentalist views. While this phenomenon cannot be reduced to a single factor, it nonetheless signals a state of distress suffered by those marginalised by the global economy, many of whom also feel culturally threatened by the “materialist” and “secular” values of late modernity. [...].", p.173.
