"Relocating Modern Science" challenges the belief that modern
science was created uniquely in the West and that it was
subsequently diffused elsewhere. Through a detailed analysis of key
moments of knowledge construction in botany, cartography,
terrestrial surveying, linguistics, scientific education, and
colonial administration, it demonstrates the crucial roles of
intercultural encounter and circulation for their emergence.
It engages with questions central to imperial, colonial, and South
Asian history and presents a heuristic model for other world
regions, periods, and fields of knowledge, as also for
transnational and global studies.
