Critical Remarks on Old Concepts. 330 $aThis book offers a new perspective on the concept of modernity. Since its invention as a contrast to Antiquity or the Middle Ages, modernity has been tied to ideas of superiority, progress, and efficiency. As a counterpart to the Marxist ?history of class struggle?, ?modernization theories? have transformed modernity into an almost teleological concept of historical development. These strong connotations obstruct a clear look at other forms of modernity. The contributions of the volume will show in a comparative perspective how modernity can also be understood and analyzed as multiple responses of societies and polities to organize themselves in facing ever more complex and integrated interactions at ever larger scales. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Comparative Global History,$x2662-7973 606 $aSocial history 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aInternational trade 606 $aSocial History 606 $aModern History 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aInternational Trade 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aInternational trade. 615 14$aSocial History. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aGlobalization. 615 24$aInternational Trade. 676 $a909.08 702 $aHyden-Hanscho$b Veronika 702 $aStangl$b Werner 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910672444503321 996 $aFormative modernities in the early modern Atlantic and beyond$93374538 997 $aUNINA
