Saurabh Dube Subjects of Modernity (Hardback) Theory for a Global Age

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Subjects of ModernityCondition: NewDescription: This book thinks through modernity and its representations by exploring critical considerations of time and space. Drawing on anthropology, history and social theory, it investigates the oppositions and enchantments, the contradictions and contentions, and the identities and ambivalences spawned under modernity. Crucially, it understands these antinomies not as errors, but as constitutive elements of modern worlds.The book questions routine portrayals of homogeneous time and antinomian blueprints of cultural space, while acknowledging the production of time and space by social subjects. Instead of assuming a straightforward, singular trajectory for the phenomena, it views modernity as involving checkered, contingent and contended processes of meaning and power, which have found heterogeneous historical elaborations over the past five centuries. Bringing together past and present, theory and narrative, it sows the historical, ethnographic and methodological deep into its critical procedures, offering an innovative understanding of cultural identities and imaginatively exploring the relationship between history and anthropology.An electronic edition of this book is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND) licence.Author: Saurabh DubeCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBEAN: 9781526105110Format: HardbackGenre: HistoryISBN: 9781526105110ISBN-10: 152610511XItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 138mmItem Weight: 435gItem Width: 16mmLanguage: EnglishPublisher: Manchester University PressRelease Date: 01/20/2017Book Series: Theory for a Global AgeSubtitle: Time-Space, Disciplines, MarginsTopic: Social Sciences, Society & CultureRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
