DESCRIPTION:Lancement du livre des auteurs Yakov Rabkin and Mikhail Minakov
  Demodernization: A Future in the Past 
\nMedical doctors driving taxis\, 
 architects selling beer on street corners\, scientific institutes closed d
 own amid rusting carcasses of industrial plants—these images became comm
 on at the turn of the twenty-first century in many once modern “civilize
 d” countries. In quite a few of them\, longtime neighbors came to kill e
 ach other\, apparently motivated by the newly discovered differences of re
 ligion\, language\, or origin. Civil nationalism gave way to tribal\, ethn
 ic\, and confessional conflict. Rational arguments of a geopolitical natur
 e have been replaced by claims of self-righteousness and moral superiority
 .  These snapshots are not random. They are manifestations of a phenomenon
  called demodernization that can be observed from the banks of the Neva to
  the banks of the Euphrates\, from the deserts of Central Asia to the Engl
 ish countryside and all the way to the city of Detroit. Demodernization is
  a growing trend today\, but it also has a history. Seventeen scholars\, i
 ncluding historians\, philosophers\, sociologists\, and archaeologists\, o
 ffer their views of demodernization. The book is divided into three parts 
 dedicated to conceptual debates as well as historical and contemporary cas
 es. It book provides a wealth of empirical materials and conceptual insigh
 ts that provide a multifaceted approach to demodernization.
