Abstract

How does our colonial past echo through today's global politics? How have former empire-builders sought vindication or atonement, and formerly colonized states reversal or retribution? This groundbreaking book presents a panoramic view of attitudes to empires past and present, seen not only through the hard politics of international power structures but also through the nuances of memory, historiography and national and minority cultural identities. Bringing together leading historians, poitical scientists and international relations scholars from across the globe, Echoes of Empire emphasizes Europe's colonial legacy whilst also highlighting the importance of non-European power centres- Ottoman, Russian, Chinese, Japanese- in shaping world politics, then and now. Echoes of Empire bridges the divide between disciplines to trace the global routes travelled by objects, ideas and people and forms a radically different notion of the term 'empire' itself. This will be an essential companion to courses on international relations and imperial history as well as a fascinating read for anyone interested in Western hegemony, North-South relations, global power shifts and the longue duree.

Abstract

Wat moeten we ons voorstellen bij een ‘Design Derby’ tussen Nederland en België van 1815 tot 2015? Is er eigenlijk sprake van een karakteristieke Nederlandse of Belgische identiteit in het design? En hoeveel weten we over elkaars geschiedenis? Precies twee eeuwen geleden, in 1815, werd het Verenigd Koninkrijk der Nederlanden opgericht. Gedurende vijftien jaar werden Nederland en België door de grote Europese staten tot een eenheid gedwongen onder de bezielende leiding van koning Willem I.Deze rijk geïllustreerde publicatie laat aan de hand van talloze bijzondere objecten zien waartoe de twee landen op het gebied van vormgeving in de loop van tweehonderd jaar in staat zijn geweest. Variërend van meubelen, keramiek, glas, textiel, grafisch ontwerp, mode tot huishoudelijke apparaten, wordt geïllustreerd hoe wooncultuur, economie en politiek het karakter van de vormgeving voortdurend laten evolueren.De publicatie is ingedeeld in 21 thema’s, elk begeleid door een infographic en twee karakteristieke voorbeelden uit Nederland en België. In acht verdiepende essays van vier Vlaamse specialisten – Werner Adriaenssens, Marc Dubois, Fredie Floré en Frank Huygens – en vier Nederlandse specialisten – Paul Rem, Mienke Simon Thomas, Jeroen van den Eijnde en Frederike Huygen – ontvouwt zich daarnaast het verhaal van twee eeuwen designgeschiedenis in Nederland en België.

Abstract

Freedom Time reconsiders decolonization from the perspectives of Aimé Césaire (Martinique) and Léopold Sédar Senghor (Senegal) who, beginning in 1945, promoted self-determination without state sovereignty. As politicians, public intellectuals, and poets they struggled to transform imperial France into a democratic federation, with former colonies as autonomous members of a transcontinental polity. In so doing, they revitalized past but unrealized political projects and anticipated impossible futures by acting as if they had already arrived. Refusing to reduce colonial emancipation to national independence, they regarded decolonization as an opportunity to remake the world, reconcile peoples, and realize humanity’s potential. Emphasizing the link between politics and aesthetics, Gary Wilder reads Césaire and Senghor as pragmatic utopians, situated humanists, and concrete cosmopolitans whose postwar insights can illuminate current debates about self-management, postnational politics, and planetary solidarity. Freedom Time invites scholars to decolonize intellectual history and globalize critical theory, to analyze the temporal dimensions of political life, and to question the territorialist assumptions of contemporary historiography.

Abstract

"This book applies postcolonial theory to Russia by looking at it as a subaltern empire. It pushes postcolonial studies and constructivist international relations towards an uneasy dialogue, which produces tensions and reveals multiple blind spots in both approaches. A critical re-evaluation of the existing literature enables the author to produce a comprehensive account of how Russia's position in the international system has conditioned its domestic development, and how this in turn generated specific foreign policy outcomes. Having internalised the Eurocentric worldview, Russia is nevertheless different from the core European countries. This difference is not determined by 'culture', but rather by uneven and combined development of global capitalism, in which Russia is integrated as a semi-peripheral nation. The Russian state has colonised its own periphery on behalf of the Western core, but has never been able to overcome economic and normative dependency on the West. The peculiar dialectic of the subaltern and the imperial during the post-Soviet period has given rise to a regime which claims to defend 'genuine Russian values', while in fact there is nothing behind this new traditionalism but the negation of Western hegemony. Trying to 'defend' the nation from the postulated threat of Western interventionism, the regime engages in a disavowal of politics and thus suppresses popular subjectivity. The only political subject that remains on the horizon of Russian politics is the West, while the Russian people, as any other subaltern, are being spoken for, and thus silenced, by the country's Eurocentric elites and the Western intellectuals"--
