This book offers a new perspective on the concept of modernity.
Since its invention as a contrast to Antiquity or the Middle Ages,
modernity has been tied to ideas of superiority, progress, and
efficiency. As a counterpart to the Marxist "history of class
struggle", "modernization theories" have transformed modernity into
an almost teleological concept of historical development. These
strong connotations obstruct a clear look at other forms of
modernity. The contributions of the volume will show in a
comparative perspective how modernity can also be understood and
analyzed as multiple responses of societies and polities to
organize themselves in facing ever more complex and integrated
interactions at ever larger scales.
