Abstract: | By reducing the multiplicity of paths to modernity to the cultural level and attributing Western Europe a key role in generating it, “multiple modernities” authors reinforced the modernizationist notion of an autonomous Western modernity that they themselves criticized. In turn, the post- and decolonial approaches of entangled modernities and modernity/coloniality make colonial ties an important factor in the explanation of global processes. The article first examines these approaches’ relationship to the model of multiple modernities in order to assess conceptual and theoretical similarities and differences between them. Second, the two approaches are considered against the background of their respective empirical reference—India for entangled modernities and Latin America for modernity/coloniality—and possibilities of a theoretical synthesis between them as a potential for South-South dialogue are explored. |
