The notion of modernity hinges on a break with the past, such as
superstitions, medieval worlds, and hierarchical traditions. It
follows that modernity suggests the disenchantment of the world,
yet the processes of modernity also create their own enchantments
in the mapping and making of the modern world. Straddling a range
of disciplines and perspectives, the essays in this edited volume
eschew programmatic solutions, focusing instead in new ways on
subjects of slavery and memory, global transformations and
vernacular and vernacular modernity, imperial imperatives and
nationalist knowledge, cosmopolitan politics and liberal democracy,
and governmental effects and everyday affects. It is in these ways
that the volume attempts to unravel the enchantments of modernity,
in order to approach anew modernity's constitutive terms, formative
limits, and particular possibilities.
