Global Modernity, Development, and Contemporary Civilization (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu
Reviews
Description
This book investigates modern global civilization, offering an alternative to post-colonial theories and the multiple modernities approach (as well as the civilizational theory linked to it). It argues that modernity has become a global civilization that is heterogeneous and intertwined with other civilizations, and also aims at a renewal of critical theory that is not US-centric and Eurocentric, focusing instead on China, South Asia (India) and Latin America (Brazil). Dealing with the themes of centre-periphery relations, complexity (including culture and religion), democracy and emancipatory possibilities, this book is based on general theoretical ideas such as collective subjectivity, the interplay of memory and creativity, and the concept of modernizing moves, so as to deal with historical contingency.
