本文对“现代性的第三阶段”的定义展开了争论，并以比较的方式处理了拉丁美洲（尤其是巴西）、南亚（尤其是印度）和中国的案例。它试图确定具体的现代化举措，这些举措意味着个性化的比较以及与这些地区和国家的比较。它从一些理论假设中建立起自己的论点，并以一种归纳的方式移动，以便将现代性的讨论从西方的强大参照物和由此产生的概念定义中分离出来。本文还试图将现代性的讨论与关于发展的辩论联系起来。它提出了一个多维的视角，并分析了这些地区和国家当代现代性和现代化运动的主要维度。
This article develops an argument about what it defines as the 'third phase of modernity' and tackles, in a comparative manner, the cases of Latin America (especially Brazil), South Asia (especially India) and China. It tries to identify specific modernizing moves which imply individualizing comparisons as well as encompassing comparisons in relation to these areas and countries. It builds its argument from a few theoretical assumptions and moves in an inductive manner in order to dislocate the discussion of modernity from its strong referents in the West and the conceptual definitions that stem from this. The article tries also to connect the discussion of modernity to debates about development. It proposes a multidimensional approach and analyzes the main dimensions of contemporary modernity and modernizing moves in those regions and countries.
