Konferenz: Conceptualising Modernity – An interdisciplinary Dialogue

9. & 10. Dezember 2021 | via ZOOM

"Over the last twenty years, the category of “modernity” and the idea of “the modern” have both been refined as historical tools and criticized for their normative biases. We want to reassess the analytical potential of the meta-concept of “modernity” and the idea of the modern. What are the benefits of “modernity” as an analytical tool? Should the term be employed differently or should we stop using it altogether? We aim to provide a platform for historians, but also social scientists, to both discuss the various criticisms levelled at the concept as well as to sound out its analytical potential or possible alternatives." (Aus der Konferenzbeschreibung)

 

Die Konferenz wurde möglich gemacht durch die großzügige Unterstützung des Förderverein Geschichte e.V. und des Universitätsbund Tübingen e.V.
