Excellent- More about Disciplines of Modernity: Archives, Histories, Anthropologies
This book reconsiders the disciplines, archives, and subjects of modernity through the lens of anthropology and history, challenging traditional projections of modern subjects and exploring the affective, embodied, and immanent attributes of our varied worlds as formative of subjects of modernity. It also queries entitlement and privilege that underlie social terrains and their scholarly apprehensions.

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
Based on a rigorous foundation in anthropology and history, this book delves into the realms of disciplines, archives, and subjects that shape modernity. It employs a multi-faceted approach, drawing from social theory and critical thought, to reexamine these fields.
Firstly, the book challenges the conventional understanding of institutionalized formations of anthropology and history, along with the broader realm of archives, as inherently indicative of disciplines of modernity. These disciplines, when viewed in their broadest sense, exist in a state of inherent contradiction.
Secondly, the study disrupts the prevalent notion that modern subjects are predetermined by a disillusioned calculus of interest and reason. Instead, it explores the affective, embodied, and immanent qualities of our diverse worlds as essential factors in shaping subjects of modernity, interwoven into their very essence and spirit.
Thirdly, the book interrogates the underlying entitlement and privilege that permeate social landscapes and their scholarly interpretations. It identifies distinct elites, pervasive plutocracies, and modern scholasticisms as interconnected elements contributing to the complex tapestry of modernity.
Through its comprehensive exploration, this book offers a fresh perspective on the disciplines, archives, and subjects that have shaped our contemporary world, challenging established narratives and illuminating new pathways for understanding the complexities of modernity.
