An important theme/practice in this course has been to reflect upon the shortcomings of conventional, progressivist, Eurocentric theories and timelines of the early origins of modernity. Advance an original theory of either modern capitalism or the modern mind. This re-definition must (a) provide a clear outline of the dominant narrative; (b) make reference to specific quotations from at least three (3) required course readings/viewings that are misrepresented by or eliminated from the dominant narrative; and, then, (c) connect these excerpts by means of course terms and concepts to your original, inclusive definition.
Write a clear and organized response that is supported by evidence from course resources and that sustains a connection with the overarching course theme: analysing the ideologies, movements, and theories that shape and define the historical Modern Age and our understanding of ‘modernity’.
