Abstract

An die gravierenden Krisenerfahrungen in der Revolutions- und Kriegsphase um 1800 knüpft sich bei Ludwig Achim von Arnim (1781-1831) die Überzeugung von einem utopischen Potential der erlebten Umbruchszeit. Angesichts seiner desolaten Gegenwartsanalysen überrascht diese Erwartungshaltung, die es anhand ausgewählter Texte Arnims im Rekurs auf die zeitgenössische Semantik zu explizieren und zu verdeutlichen gilt. Dabei gehen - um Arnims ästhetischer Realitätsadaption gerecht zu werden - eine diachrone Betrachtung und eine auf den Einzeltext ausgerichtete poetische Verfahrensanalyse Hand in Hand.

Abstract

During the nineteenth century, Lemuria was imagined as a land that once bridged India and Africa but disappeared into the ocean millennia ago, much like Atlantis. A sustained meditation on a lost place from a lost time, this elegantly written book is the first to explore Lemuria's incarnations across cultures, from Victorian-era science to Euro-American occultism to colonial and postcolonial India. The Lost Land of Lemuria widens into a provocative exploration of the poetics and politics of loss to consider how this sentiment manifests itself in a fascination with vanished homelands, hidden civilizations, and forgotten peoples. More than a consideration of nostalgia, it shows how ideas once entertained but later discarded in the metropole can travel to the periphery-and can be appropriated by those seeking to construct a meaningful world within the disenchantment of modernity. Sumathi Ramaswamy ultimately reveals how loss itself has become a condition of modernity, compelling us to rethink the politics of imagination and creativity in our day.

Abstract

Face à la normalisation du mode de vie occidental, beaucoup sont séduits par une autre manière de vivre et privilégient le nomadisme à la sédentarité. Partir avec sa maison sur la route, vivre dans une roulotte, sur un bateau, dans un gonflable, construire son refuge dans les arbres, habiter au cœur même de la nature, ne sont plus aujourd'hui des rêves impossibles. Architectes, designers et constructeurs s'intéressent de près à ce phénomène et créent un nouveau type d'habitat mobile qui préfigure l'architecture du futur en proposant des solutions innovantes, en termes de miniaturisation, d'autoconstruction et de nouveaux matériaux. Maisons mobiles parcourt l'histoire de cette anarchitecture, des années 1930 à nos jours, des solutions d'urgence, liées à la guerre, aux projets visionnaires les plus audacieux, et interroge la démarche de leurs créateurs. Au fil de ce road-movie, on croisera vêtements refuges, maisons valises, villes volantes, flottantes ou sous-marines, sans oublier les multiples métamorphoses du camping-car et de la tente canadienne...

Abstract

In this first comprehensive comparison of left-wing violence in the United States and West Germany, Jeremy Varon focuses on America's Weather Underground and Germany's Red Army Faction to consider how and why young, middle-class radicals in prosperous democratic societies turned to armed struggle in efforts to overthrow their states. Based on a wealth of primary material, ranging from interviews to FBI reports, this book reconstructs the motivation and ideology of violent organizations active during the 1960's and 1970's. Varon conveys the intense passions of the era--the heat of moral purpose, the depth of Utopian longing, the sense of danger and despair, and the exhilaration over temporary triumphs. Varon's compelling interpretation of the logic and limits of dissent in democratic societies provides striking insights into the role of militancy in contemporary protest movements and has wide implications for the United States' current "war on terrorism."Varon explores Weatherman and RAF's strong similarities and the reasons why radicals in different settings developed a shared set of values, languages, and strategies. Addressing the relationship of historical memory to political action, Varon demonstrates how Germany's fascist past influenced the brutal and escalating nature of the West German conflict in the 60's and 70's, as well as the reasons why left-wing violence dropped sharply in the United States during the 1970's. Bringing the War Home is a fascinating account of why violence develops within social movements, how states can respond to radical dissent and forms of terror, how the rational and irrational can combine in political movements, and finally how moral outrage and militancy can play both constructive and destructive roles in efforts at social change.

Abstract

With the emergence of utopia as a cultural genre in the sixteenth century, a dual understanding of alternative societies, as either political or literary, took shape. In Utopia, Carnival, and Commonwealth in Renaissance England, Christopher Kendrick argues that the chief cultural-discursive conditions of this development are to be found in the practice of carnivalesque satire and in the attempt to construct a valid commonwealth ideology. Meanwhile, the enabling social-political condition of the new utopian writing is the existence of a social class of smallholders whose unevenly developed character prevents it from attaining political power equivalent to its social weight. In a detailed reading of Thomas More's Utopia, Kendrick argues that the uncanny dislocations, the incongruities and blank spots often remarked upon in Book II's description of Utopian society, amount to a way of discovering uneven development, and that the appeal of Utopian communism stems from its answering the desire of the smallholding class (in which are to be numbered European humanists) for unity and power. Subsequent chapters on Rabelais, Nashe, Marlowe, Bacon, Shakespeare, and others show how the utopian form engages with its two chief discursive preconditions, carnival and commonwealth ideologies, while reflecting the history of uneven development and the smallholding class. Utopia, Carnival, and Commonwealth in Renaissance England makes a novel case for the social and cultural significance of Renaissance utopian writing, and of the modern utopia in general.
