Title
Ethnological Imagination: A Crosscultural Critique Of Modernity (Volume 21) (Contradictions Of Modernity),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description Fuyuki Kurasawa unearths what he terms 'the ethnological imagination,' a substantial countercurrent of thought that interprets and contests Western modernity's existing social order through comparison and contrast to a nonWestern other. Kurasawa traces and critiques the writings of some of the key architects of this way of thinking: JeanJacques Rousseau, Karl Marx, Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, Claude LeviStrauss, and Michel Foucault. In the work of these thinkers, Kurasawa finds little justification for two of the most prevalent claims about social theory: the wholesale 'postmodern' dismissal of the socialtheoretical enterprise because of its supposedly intractable ethnocentrism and imperialism, or, on the other hand, the traditionalist and historicist revival of a canon stripped of its intercultural foundations. Kurasawa's book defends a cultural perspective that eschews both the false universalism of 'end of history' scenarios and the radical particularism embodied in the vision of 'the clash of civilizations.' It contends that the ethnological imagination can invigorate critical social theory by informing its response to an increasingly multicultural worlda response that calls for a reconsideration of the identity and boundaries of the West. About the Author Fuyuki Kurasawa is assistant professor of sociology at York University in Toronto, Canada, as well as a faculty associate of the Yale Center for Cultural Sociology.
