Since 1980, an anthropological revolution affects the individual in contemporary societies. We have entered a new phase of modernity. This decade has experienced upfront three major crises, crises that constitute the framework of eight decisive anthropological mutations. These mutations highlight what we propose to call the third modernity, a new context and ferment of the individual’s construction of identity.
