Résumé

While modernity is a polysemous and often-criticised term, it remains a key concept in the social sciences to describe economic, political, social and cultural processes from the nineteenth century to the present day. Once used from an evolutionary perspective, modernity both informed and was informed by the construction of nation-states, parliamentary democracies and industrialised economies. The Western-centric conception of modernity has since been heavily criticised. Post- colonial studies argue to decentralize the European trajectory, while transnational perspectives call into question diffusionist models of Western modernity. The merit of these recent epistemic developments lies in their rejection of reifying approaches to modernity. However, they do not make it possible to grasp the conflicts that crystallise around the use of modernity in Russian, Soviet and Ottoman (post-)imperial spaces. The aim of this conference is to explore how the idea of modernity has been produced in situ by past and present actors in the areas under study. By focusing more closely on the way in which the internal dynamics of the geographical and social spaces of interest produce modernity, this conference aims to continue the work undertaken by areal studies on how modernity is conceptualised and actualised.
