How Modern Was the Late Early Modern?
MWASECS October 7-10, 2004, St. Louis
“We have never been modern!” With this slogan Bruno Latour opened some
years ago his attack on what remains one of the most powerful paradigms
for explaining large-scale historical change: the process of
modernization. In eighteenth-century literary and cultural studies,
modernization continues to exert enormous attraction, shaping arguments
and propelling narratives. This panel hopes to reopen the question of
what it meant to be modern in the eighteenth century. It invites papers
from all disciplines addressing theoretical or practical, literary or
historical aspects of how modern the late early modern was.
