Abstract

"The publications of the interdisciplinary and internationally networked Research Platform “World Order – Religion – Violence” seek to improve our understanding of the relationship between religion, politics and violence. It therefore deals especially with the return of religious themes and symbols into politics, with the analysis of the link between political theory and religion, and finally with the critical discussion of the secularization thesis. At the centre of the research are questions concerning the causes of violent conflict, the possibilities for a just world order and the conditions for peaceful coexistence on a local, regional, national and international/worldwide scale between communities in the face of divergent religious and ideological convictions. Its task is to initiate and coordinate thematically related research-efforts from various disciplinary backgrounds at the University of Innsbruck. It creates a network between departments, research-teams and single researchers working on topics of religion, politics and violence. The overall aim of the research platform World Order-Religion-Violence is to promote excellence in social and human science research on religion and politics at the University of Innsbruck and to guarantee the diffusion of this particular competence on a national and international level." "Band 5 der Edition Weltordnung – Religion – Gewalt widmet sich dem Thema Sklaverei, stellt es in Zusammenhang mit Macht, Gewalt und Widerstand. Die Aufsätze des Sammelbandes untersuchen bislang weitgehend unerforschte literarische, künstlerische, historische und pädagogische Ansätze und zeichnen ein erschütterndes Bild der Sklaverei in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart.

Abstract

They baked New England's Thanksgiving pies, preached their faith to crowds of worshippers, spied for the patriots during the Revolution, wrote that human bondage was a sin, and demanded reparations for slavery. Black women in colonial and revolutionary New England sought not only legal emancipation from slavery but defined freedom more broadly to include spiritual, familial, and economic dimensions. Hidden behind the banner of achieving freedom was the assumption that freedom meant affirming black manhood The struggle for freedom in New England was different for men than for women. Black men i

Abstract

This book focusses on the several forms of reconstructing the slave past in the present. The recent emergence of the memory of slavery allows those who are or who claim to be descendents of slaves to legitimize their demand for recognition and for reparations for past wrongs. Some reparation claims encompass financial compensation, but very often they express the need for memorialization through public commemoration, museums, and monuments. In some contexts, presentification of the slave past...

Abstract

Démesurée (plus de 100 hectares), regroupant 500 esclaves, produisant la moitié du cacao et du café de la colonie, telle était Loyola, l'habitation des jésuites de Rémire en Guyane française. Le présent ouvrage, fruit d'un travail archéologique et historique de près de quinze ans, trace le portrait de ce singulier établissement, à la fois religieux et esclavagiste. Cette monographie s'intéresse aux aspects matériels et humains de cet ensemble, qui remonte à 1668 et s'achève près d'un siècle plus tard avec l'expulsion des jésuites de Guyane en 1763. Après le départ des religieux, différents propriétaires tenteront d'exploiter, avec des succès divers, cet important héritage foncier. Dans cet ouvrage, les auteurs ont voulu contribuer, en recourant à une abondante illustration, à la connaissance de l’histoire matérielle de la Guyane, encore très méconnue, à l'intérieur de l'ensemble colonial français

Abstract

The twelve essays explore three connected aspects of European expansion in the period between 1500 and 1900 - migration, trade, and slavery - with some attention given to present-day echoes from that era. The book's first section deals with European migration to transatlantic and Asian destinations, the second and third sections focus on the Atlantic slave trade and representations of slavery, and the final section analyzes the demise and legacy of slavery. The authors reach surprising conclusions: European expansion did not entail major economic benefits; the small scale of the Europeans' intercontinental migration never jeopardized their colonial projects; and the unique popular nature of British abolitionism can be explained in part by the growth of the newspaper press in the mid-eighteenth century, which regularly reported about slave ship revolts.

Abstract

Modern sensibilities have clouded historical views of slavery, perhaps more so than any other medieval social institution. Anachronistic economic rationales and notions about the progression of European civilisation have immeasurably distorted our view of slavery in the medieval context. As a result historians have focussed their efforts upon explaining the disappearance of this medieval institution rather than seeking to understand it. This book highlights the extreme cultural/social significance of slavery for the societies of medieval Britain and Ireland c. 800-1200. Concentrating upon the lifestyle, attitudes and motivations of the slave-holders and slave-raiders, it explores the violent activities and behavioural codes of Britain and Ireland’s warrior-centred societies, illustrating the extreme significance of the institution of slavery for constructions of power, ethnic identity and gender.
