The article takes issue with traditional understandings of Max Weber's reflection onmodernity by shedding light on a neglected category of his thought: subrogation. Themeaning of subrogation is first outlined through a comparison with secularization andBlumenberg's concept of Umbesetzung. The conceptual status of subrogation is thenfurther clarified by reviewing its presence (or its absence) in the Weberian diagnosisof modernity, and by distinguishing between two different typologies of subrogation.I will finally focus on the anthropological implications of the idea of subrogation, displayingits explanatory power in the analysis of contemporary societies. In particular,I intend to employ subrogation as the cornerstone of a more finely shaded - neitherapocalyptic, nor apologetic - interpretation of consumption.
