Scrupulously based in anthropology and history - and drawing on
social theory and critical thought - this book revisits the
disciplines, archives, and subjects of modernity. There are at
least three interleaving emphases here. To begin with, the work
rethinks institutionalized formations of anthropology and history -
together with "archives" at large - as themselves intimating
disciplines of modernity. Understood in the widest senses of the
terms, these disciplines are constitutively contradictory.
Moreover, the study interrupts familiar projections of modern
subjects as molded a priori by a disenchanted calculus of interest
and reason. It tracks instead the affective, embodied, and immanent
attributes of our varied worlds as formative of subjects of
modernity, sown into their substance and spirit. Finally, running
through the book is a querying of entitlement and privilege that
underlie social terrains and their scholarly apprehensions -
articulating at once distinct elites, pervasive plutocracies, and
modern "scholasticisms."
