8 Ulrich Beck’s argument is that the key concepts within the social sciences have gone out of date, i.e. the basic concepts of classical or foundational social theories. Zombie categories “haunt our thinking,” he says, and “focus our attention on realities that are steadily disappearing” (Beck and Willms, 2004, p. 19). This goes especially for categories connected with nationalism and social-class movements, and more generally for ethnocentric Western perspectives on societal evolution (Gane, 2004). All such key concepts have their origin in what Beck sees as the period of first modernity. Since then society has moved on to a new phase of second modernity, characterized by massive globalization and individualization.

10 The Lambda project is not yet approved by the City Council of Oslo. Due to shifting political alliances the project as it now stands (November 2012) seems not to have acquired political support.
