Debating civilisations offers an up-to-date evaluation of the
re-emerging field of civilisational analysis, tracing its main
currents and comparing it to rival paradigms such as Marxism,
globalisation theory and postcolonial sociology. The book suggests
that civilisational analysis offers an alternative approach to
understanding globalisation, one that focuses on the dense
engagement of societies, cultures, empires and civilisations in
human history. Building on Castoriadis's theory of social
imaginaries, it argues that civilisations are best understood as
the products of routine contacts and connections carried out by
anonymous actors over the course of long periods of time. It
illustrates this argument through case studies of modern Japan, the
Pacific and post-Conquest Latin America (including the revival of
indigenous civilisations), exploring discourses of civilisation
outside the West within the context of growing Western imperial
power. -- .
