- This 104,000-word monograph represents a decade’s research on modernity in Spanish America. It ranges across five different cultural fields (science, historiography, the periodical press, political law, and literature) and a diverse corpus of complex primary Enlightenment texts in Spanish, French and English from the Americas and Europe. It uses deconstruction as a non-instrumental means of reassessing Spanish America’s Enlightenment. Foregrounding the issue of epistemological and political sovereignty, it positions the region’s colonial Enlightenment as both singular patriotic endeavour and signal example of the aporetic condition of all Enlightenments. pp. 263.
