This book is about authority more precisely about figures of authority. The editors have put together an international group of renowned scholars to discuss the emergence of modern notions of authority from different angles. Modern authority is no longer legitimated by status and social position but rather by institutional affiliation and performance. To research the genealogy and intricacies of this kind of authority the chapters in this volume cast a closer look at the various institutional actors on whom authority has been bestowed. The authors use a case study approach to look at the instances in which modern authority emerged was ridiculed contested or even failed. Taken together the individual contributions shed new light on the intricate relationship between the subjects and their organisations they challenge any Whig historiography of rationalisation and modernisation and they help us to rethink the inter-relationship between modern and even postmodern institutional arrangements on the one hand and their subjects on the other.
