This book produces a major rethinking of the history of development after 1940 through an exploration of Britain’s ambitions for industrialisation in its Caribbean colonies. Industrial development is a neglected topic in histories of the British Colonial Empire, and we know very little of plans for Britain’s Caribbean colonies in general in the late colonial period, despite the role played by riots in the region in prompting an increase in development spending. This account shows the importance of knowledge and expertise in the promotion of a model of Caribbean development that is best described as liberal rather than state-centred and authoritarian. It explores how the post-war period saw an attempt by the Colonial Office to revive Caribbean economies by transforming cane sugar from a low-value foodstuff into a lucrative starting compound for making fuels, plastics and medical products. In addition, it shows that as Caribbean territories moved towards independence and America sought to shape the future of the region, scientific and economic advice became a key strategy for the maintenance of British control of the West Indian colonies. Britain needed to counter attempts by American-backed experts to promote a very different approach to industrial development after 1945 informed by the priorities of US foreign policy.

Malgré les sécheresses, le surpeuplement rural et la paupérisation, la petite région du Wolaita, au sud de l’Éthiopie, avec ses paysages verdoyants, échappe difficilement à son image d’Éden véhiculée par les voyageurs du XIXe siècle. Ancien grenier de l’empire éthiopien, montagne paysanne aménagée selon un remarquable savoir-faire, le Wolaita connaît pourtant un inexorable déclin. Loin des clichés et grâce à une analyse régionale soucieuse d’intégrer les dynamiques économiques et politiques, l’auteur restitue, sur plus d’un siècle, la lente transformation de ce petit pays. Depuis l’époque du conquérant Ménélik II jusqu’à la période socialiste en passant par le règne du Négus, elle retrace l’histoire du peuple d’agriculteurs-jardiniers du Wolaita, contraint à s’adapter au jeu des politiques successives. Entre l’intégration dans l’Éthiopie moderne et les spécificités régionales, entre l’ouverture économique et les sursauts identitaires, l’auteur montre comment s’élabore la construction territoriale actuelle, jusque dans ses espaces les plus reculés. Dans cette marche vers la modernité, la chute de l’Éden éthiopien ne préfigure-t-elle pas l’avènement d’une Éthiopie nouvelle ? L’ouvrage s’adresse tant aux géographes qu’aux économistes, mais également aux historiens et agronomes, ainsi qu’à tout lecteur concerné par les questions de développement.

Der aktuelle Transformationsprozess von Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft stellt die akademischen Disziplinen vor die Herausforderung, ihr Wissen hinsichtlich seiner gesellschaftlichen Funktion und Autorität neu zu überdenken. Vor dieser Aufgabe stehen auch die Kulturwissenschaften, deren Profil und Position in den letzten Jahren viel diskutiert wurde. Dieses Buch nähert sich der diskursiven Praxis am Beispiel des Faches Volkskunde/Europäische Ethnologie mit dreifachem Blick: auf den Entwurf von »Kultur«, die fachliche Episteme und die Identitätspolitik. Daraus ersteht die kritische Diagnose gesellschaftlicher Selbstbeschreibung, die in Form kulturwissenschaftlichen Wissens gleichzeitig mit den Interpretationen anderer sozialer Deutungsautoritäten konkurriert. »Die solide und couragierte Dissertation wird aufgrund ihrer Analyseergebnisse ganz sicher im Fach Beachtung finden. Nicht zuletzt, weil sie zum Überdenken des eigenen und des fremden fachspezifischen Gestaltens anmahnt.« Angela Treiber, Zeitschrift für Volkskunde, 106/2 (2010) Besprochen in: Schweizerisches Archiv für Volkskunde, 1 (2011), Harm-Peer Zimmermann Anthropological Abstracts, 8 (2009)

This book deals with various facets of the human right to health: its normative profile as a universal right, current political and legal conflicts and contextualized implementation in different healthcare systems. The authors come from different countries and disciplines - law, political science, ethics, medicine etc. - and bring together a broad variety of academic and practical perspectives. The volume contains selected contributions of the international conference "The Right to Health - an Empty Promise?" held in September 2015 in Berlin and organized by the Emerging Field Initiative Project "Human Rights in Healthcare" (University of Erlangen-Nürnberg).

El estudio se dedica a representaciones historiográficas, literarias y fílmicas del Descubrimiento y de la Conquista de América. A través de apropiaciones variadas de los mismos acontecimientos históricos, los respectivos representantes artísticos se vinculan intertextual o intermedialmente. Las imágenes de ficción crean una realidad, de ahí el título La Conquista imaginaria, que alude a la concepción de la nación como imagined community de Benedict Anderson (1983). Las narraciones ficcionales crean a la vez historia, puesto que influyen en el imaginario colectivo y operan como un dispositivo ideológico y memorístico. El objetivo es desenredar estas relaciones transtextuales y reconstruir las visiones singulares de la Conquista y su función.
