Description: Disciplines of Modernity by Saurabh Dube Scrupulously based in anthropology and history – and drawing on social theory and critical thought – this book revisits the disciplines, archives, and subjects of modernity. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Scrupulously based in anthropology and history – and drawing on social theory and critical thought – this book revisits the disciplines, archives, and subjects of modernity. There are at least three interleaving emphases here. To begin with, the work rethinks institutionalized formations of anthropology and history – together with "archives" at large – as themselves intimating disciplines of modernity. Understood in the widest senses of the terms, these disciplines are constitutively contradictory. Moreover, the study interrupts familiar projections of modern subjects as molded a priori by a disenchanted calculus of interest and reason. It tracks instead the affective, embodied, and immanent attributes of our varied worlds as formative of subjects of modernity, sown into their substance and spirit. Finally, running through the book is a querying of entitlement and privilege that underlie social terrains and their scholarly apprehensions – articulating at once distinct elites, pervasive plutocracies, and modern "scholasticisms."

It makes an important intervention in the fields of social sciences and humanities by speaking across disciplines and archives. The work takes us forward from the moment of postcolonial and decolonial critique and recasts the framework within which scholars of/from the global south and the global north may henceforth converse."- Prathama Banerjee, Professor, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, Delhi"This is an innovative and inviting, powerful and provocative book. Abjuring the usual guarantees of academic analysis, Dube conjoins intimacy and affect with structure and process. In the work, predilections of the postcolonial are interwoven with the contradictions of modernity, the contentions of disciplines are bound to ambiguities of the archive, and accumulation and development are crisscrossed by loss and excess."- Mario Rufer, Professor, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, México "History and anthropology are core bridges between humanities and social science. They are integral to the intellectual formations constitutive of the West. And as Saurabh Dube shows, they are not merely university disciplines but also disciplinary formations remaking modern subjectivity and critical perspectives throughout society. This is an original and compelling exploration."- Craig Calhoun, University Professor, Arizona State University, Tempe"Disciplines of Modernity is a tour de force from one of the most generative, creative, and surprising thinkers of our time. Weaving personal itineraries with public life, this moving and insightful book cuts to the heart of the hierarchies that continue to shape the global production of knowledge."- Sunil Amrith, Renu and Anand Dhawan Professor of History, Yale University, New Haven Details ISBN1032389400 Author Saurabh Dube Pages 136 Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Series Routledge Focus on Modern Subjects Year 2024 ISBN-10 1032389400 ISBN-13 9781032389400 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-08-26 Subtitle Archives, Histories, Anthropologies Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom UK Release Date 2024-08-26 Imprint Routledge Alternative 9781032389394 Audience Professional & Vocational We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
