Abstract

The volume examines the lives and achievements of women who played determining roles in the history of European academies and in the development of modern science in Europe. These persevering personalities either had a key influence in the establishment of academies ("Patronae Scientiarum") or were pioneering scientists who made major contributions to the progress of science ("path-breakers"). In both cases, their stories provide unique testimonies on the scientific institutions of their time and the systemic barriers female scientists were facing.Conceptualized as a transversal series of biographical portraits, the contributions focus particularly on each personalities’ role in (or relation to) European academies, ensuring both a geographical and disciplinary balance. The co-editors of the volume are Professor Ute Frevert (Co-Director at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development), Professor Ernst Osterkamp (President of the Deutsche Akademie für Sprache und Dichtung) and Professor Günter Stock (former ALLEA President).

Abstract

Pursuing Whiteness in the Colonies offers a new comprehension of colonial history from below by taking remnants of individual agencies from a whiteness studies perspective. It highlights the experiences and perceptions of colonisers and how they portrayed and re-interpreted their identities in Africa. The transcolonial approach is based on egodocuments from Belgian, German and Swedish men and women who migrated to Central Africa for reasons like a love for adventure, social betterment, new gender roles, or the conviction that colonising was their patriotic duty. The author presents how colonisers constructed their whiteness in relation to the subalterns in everyday situations connected to friendship, animals, gender and food. White culture was often practiced to maintain the idea(l) of European supremacy, for example by upholding white dining cultures. The welcoming notion of 'breaking bread' was replaced by a dining culture that reinforced white identity and segregated white from non-white people. By combining colonial history with whiteness studies in an African setting the author provides a different understanding of imperial realities as they were experienced by colonisers in situ.

Abstract

Bourdieu analyzes masculine domination as a prime example of symbolic violence--the kind of gentle, invisible, pervasive violence exercised through the everyday practices of social life. To understand this form of domination we must also analyze the social mechanisms and institutions--family, school, church, and state--that transform history into nature and eternalize the arbitrary. Only in this way can we open up the possibilities for a kind of political action that can put history in motion again by neutralizing the mechanisms that have naturalized and dehistoricized the relations between the sexes.

Abstract

En 1962, l'indépendance algérienne transforme le rapport des Français aux "Arabes". L'extrême droite, qui veut contrer tout effort de penser le passé colonial, développe aussitôt un discours non plus centré sur l'empire et sur l'Algérie, mais sur la France elle-même : l'homme arabe, violent, violeur, vorace, vient " envahir " la France par le biais de l'immigration. À partir de Mai 68, un autre discours, arabophile celui-là, tenu par une large partie de la nouvelle gauche, défend un homme révolutionnaire arabe viril, vaillant, qui résiste avec succès à l'oppression, à l'impérialisme, au capitalisme. Ces deux visions s'affrontent jusqu'à la fin des années 1970, la figure de l'"Arabe" irriguant la plupart des débats politiques et sociaux d'une France aux prises avec la libération sexuelle. À l'intersection de l'histoire du colonialisme et de l'histoire de la sexualité, Mâle décolonisation éclaire cet affrontement et renouvelle en profondeur notre compréhension des années 1960 et 1970, si cruciales pour l'histoire de la France d'aujourd'hui.

Abstract

Guerrières, parangons de vertu, philanthropes, poétesses, peintres et calligraphes, praticiennes des arts de guérir... derrière l'apparente uniformité de la "tradition confucéenne" se profile une multiplicité de destins, de stratégies et de personnalités. Cet ouvrage nous incite à rencontrer quelques-unes des femmes remarquables dont l'existence a été consignée dans la littérature officielle comme dans la fiction et à les situer dans leur environnement historique, géographique, social et intellectuel.
