Abstract :Sociologists, seeking to understand and explain the social reality in which they live and the changes occurring within it, have approached the subject through various conceptualizations and typologies, thereby making significant contributions to the field of social sciences. In this context, although the distinction between traditional and modern society was long used to explain the changes and transformations experienced by societies, the typology based on the distinction between modern and postmodern has recently come to the fore. Yet, amid growing criticism of modernity, discussions have emerged concerning postmodern society, a concept on which sociologists remain divided. Defining and naming the new society thus presents a persistent problem in the field of social sciences. The period generally regarded as postmodern is viewed by some sociologists as a new era and by others as a continuation of modern society. This study aimed to render the postmodern period more comprehensible by assembling the metaphors that sociologists have conceptualized and used to express social reality.
