What is modernity? This question is in focus for all classical sociologists. The answers, and perspectives of course differs, but the question is actually the same. The presentation will give a sociological background to the question and the move forward to discuss Sweden as a case regarding construction of a modern society. The presentation will especially focus on the combination of a new paradigm in aesthetic, ethic and politics and how these new paradigm come together in a modern project.
