Modernity and its Futures Past

Zusatztext

<p>The work reimagines emancipatory possibilities in the face of reified capitalist modernity. The enlightenment resulted in a `disenchanted¿ world, stripped of `anthropomorphised¿ meaning and purpose. This world, in its capitalistic figuration, alienates us from others, and from nature. To rearticulate emancipatory possibilities requires a non-alienated relation to society and nature. Yet, modernist disenchantment cannot be undone by returning to pre-modern `enchantment¿. Rather, such rearticulation calls for the recovery of `unalienated life¿ from within non-reified modernity, by renewing its universalist dimension. </p><p> </p>
