The book suggests that civilisational analysis offers an alternative approach to understanding globalisation, one that focuses on the dense engagement of societies, cultures, empires and civilisations in human history. Building on Castoriadis?s theory of social imaginaries, it argues that civilisations are best understood as the products of routine contacts and connections carried out by anonymous actors over the course of long periods of time. It illustrates this argument through case studies of modern Japan, the Pacific and post-Conquest Latin America (including the revival of indigenous civilisations), exploring discourses of civilisation outside the West within the context of growing Western imperial power. 606 $aCivilization$xPhilosophy 606 $aComparative civilization 606 $aIntercultural communication 606 $aCultural pluralism 610 $aindigenous civilisations 610 $acivilisations 610 $apower 610 $aimaginaries 610 $acornelius castoriadis 610 $acivilisational analysis 615 0$aCivilization$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aComparative civilization. 615 0$aIntercultural communication. 615 0$aCultural pluralism. 676 $a909 700 $aSmith$b Jeremy$f1966-$0978332 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996543171803316 996 $aDebating civilisations$92239003 997 $aUNISA
