近来社会和社会学理论中一些最有希望的进展是与历史社会学相关的，包括“多重”或“纠缠”的现代性以及文明方法，尽管它们存在一些问题。本文批判性地恢复了这场辩论，提出了全球层面和地区层面的文明和现代性的具体概念。多维性、集体主体性和现代化举措贯穿全文。讨论从对拉丁美洲现代性的具体分析开始，包括对最近一些解读的批评。然后，它进入更一般的概念维度，将拉丁美洲视为一个统一的术语并作为一个分析单位，不管其内部相对异质性如何，并将次大陆置于现代性第三个当代阶段的比较视野中，与中国、印度、非洲和其他文明坐标相比较。
Some of the most promising advances in recent social and sociological theory have happened in connection with historical sociology, including the 'multiple' or 'entangled' modernity as well as the civilizational approaches, despite their several problems. This article critically resumes this debate, proposing specific conceptualizations of civilization and modernity, at the global level, as well as of regions. Multidimensionality and collective subjectivities and modernizing moves cut across the whole text. The discussion starts from a specific analysis of Latin American modernity, including the criticism of some recent interpretations. It then moves into more general conceptual dimensions, taking Latin America in unitary terms and as a unit of analysis, regardless of its relative internal heterogeneity, and placing of the sub continent within a comparative view of, in particular, a third, contemporary phase of modernity, vis-a-vis China, India, Africa and other civilizational coordinates.
