In this book, Singapore architect and intellectual William Lim continues his search for alternative Asian perspectives to Eurocentric modernity and US-style globalization. This compilation comprises essays and lectures of the past two years, when the author pondered contemporary critical cultural and urban discourses through which he formulated new ideas and analyses, particularly in relation to the postmodern, glocality and social justice. The title of the book, Alternative (Post) Modernity, clearly signals the complex relational fluidity, hybridity and de-territorisation between modernity and postmodernity.
