As an identity-marker of the West, the idea of modernity continues to excite and provoke literary scholars, philosophers, political theorists, social critics and art historians in strangely ambivalent ways. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume addresses modernity’s multi-faceted configurations: in literary and visual representations, in political culture and practice; in philosophical reflections; in sociological thinking; and in technological revolution. Its linkage with colonial processes has given it a distinctive character in the third world context. The volume is a timely reflection on this dominant western paradigm, which has influenced thinking all over the world in diverse ways. It provides useful material for research scholars and students of such disciplines as literature, history, philosophy, politics, art history and social thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eACKNOWLEDGMENTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFOREWORD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMourning a Metaphor: The Revolution is Over\u003cbr\u003eMARTIN JAY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Underside of Modernity: Adorno, Heidegger, and Dussel\u003cbr\u003eFRED DALLMAYR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModernity and Modernism: Society and Literature in 19th and 20th Century India\u003cbr\u003eMADAN M SARMA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMidnight’s Orphans, Or a Postcolonialism worth Its Name \u003cbr\u003eS SHANKAR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslatability in an Uneven World\u003cbr\u003eR RADHAKRISHNAN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdward Said, Area Studies and Postcoloniality\u003cbr\u003eGAURAV DESAI\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHomoeroticism and the Construction of Alterity: On Reading a Passage to India and The Home and the World\u003cbr\u003eJASPAL KAUR SINGH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRefiguring Modernity in the Postcolonial Space: A Reading of Gender and Nation in Sara Suleri’s Meatless Days\u003cbr\u003ePURNA CHOWDHURY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Discourse of food and Matrilineages in Contemporary women’s Writing\u003cbr\u003eSUDHA RAI\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModernity in the Work of Amitav Ghosh\u003cbr\u003eRAJALAKSHMI N K\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModernity and third World Women: Flora Nwapa and Buchi Emecheta\u003cbr\u003eK NIRUPA RANI\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHistorical Memory and Religio-Political Interpretations of the Ghurids in Northern India\u003cbr\u003eGendered Bodies and Cultural claims: Visuality in Public Culture\u003cbr\u003ePARUL DAVE MUKHERJI\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAIDS, Modernity and Public Discourse in India\u003cbr\u003eDILIP K DAS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Informatic Sublime: Identity in the Posthuman Age \u003cbr\u003ePRAMOD K NAYAR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Reinstaement of Rationality: Cognitive Science Rethinks Modernity\u003cbr\u003eLIZA DAS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbraham Lincoln’s Identity as a Model for Modernity\u003cbr\u003eWILLIAM D PEDERSON\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuicide and Suicide Bombings: Issues of Modernity in Nineteenth\u003cbr\u003eCentury Sociological Thinking\u003cbr\u003eMANDAKINI V JHA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichael Ondaatje’s Anil’s ghost: A Postcolonial Review of Modernity\u003cbr\u003eSANTOSH GUPTA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModernity Redux: Empire and the End (s) of Postomodernism\u003cbr\u003eNAGESH RAO\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTRIBUTORS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINDEX\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Prafulla C Kar \/ Pencraft International \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153663783280,"sku":"14663","price":38.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/14663.jpg?v=1793912260","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/rethinking-modernity","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
