This article examines the processes of transformation of European societies in XXI century, taking into consideration especially factors of post-modernity, globalisation and strong social changes. Post-modernity affects all societies, but particularly those new societies in transition. Authors take the broad concept of 'post-modernity' as being important for all societies that have experienced transformation in their political, social, cultural, economic, educational and religious spheres following a political shift from socialist to democratic government. The processes of social transformation affect people living in them strongly, in particular in their identity and relationships. ; This article examines the processes of transformation of European societies in XXI century, taking into consideration especially factors of post-modernity, globalisation and strong social changes.

Challenging the thought of Zygmunt Bauman on the subject of liquid modernity, where everything has become unstable, precarious and uncertain, Carlo Bordoni (author with Bauman of »State of Crisis«) proposes to look at contemporary society as an »interregnum«, a temporary break with the past. In a condition characterised by anomie, the questioning of democratic achievements and the primacy of an unbridled economy, he offers a new perspective on our social condition. Understanding the interregnum and being aware of its instability and the social degradation that it entails can help us to make the right choices

Soziologische Zeitdiagnosen thematisieren gegenwärtig vermehrt das Religiöse. Während die frühen Diagnosen der modernen Gesellschaft fast einhellig eine Säkularisierung der Religion diagnostizieren und damit das Religiöse aus dem Zentrum der Analyse verdrängen, sehen sich gegenwärtige Theorien der Modernität häufig durch das Religiöse herausgefordert und stellen es folglich in den Mittelpunkt ihrer Bemühungen um eine Diagnose der modernen Gesellschaft. Neben diesem wirkmächtigen, eher an gesellschaftstheoretischen und zeitdiagnostischen Fragen orientierten Diskurs entwickelt sich in den letzten Jahren eine soziologische Theorierichtung, die eng am Begriff der Praxis ausgerichtet ist und vor allem in ihrer postkolonialen Ausformung universellen Gesellschaftsdiagnosen höchst skeptisch gegenübersteht. In diesem Sinne werden gesellschaftliche Praktiken und Praxisformen auch ohne den Anspruch untersucht, die Analyseergebnisse in eine allgemein ansetzende Gesellschaftstheorie einzubetten.
