Abstract

"Ralph Cudworths Predigt vor dem ehrwürdigen Unterhaus von 1647 enthält im Geiste des philosophischen Denkens des Origenes einen entschlossenen Appell zu doktrinärer Weite und religiöser Toleranz. Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes interpretieren dieses wegweisende Dokument des Cambridger Origenismus im Kontext der politischen und kirchlichen Wirren des Englischen Bürgerkriegs. Neben dem behutsam modernisierten englischen Text und der ersten deutschen Übersetzung bietet der Band weitere Briefe und Gedichte des jungen Cudworth sowie eine Predigt aus dem Jahre 1664. Diese Texte sind eindringliche Dokumente seiner platonisch-origeneischen "Philosophie der Religion" und des von ihm propagierten irenischen Christentums der Innerlichkeit in einem praktischen Ethos universaler Liebe."

Abstract

"This book investigates the surveillance of the women's liberation movement by the RCMP's Security Service, beginning in the late 1960s and stretching into the mid-1980s during the feminist second wave. It is based upon a close reading of thousands of pages of documents declassified under Canada's Access to Information Act (ATI). Spotted Throughout with Red considers both the machinations of the security service and the rise and fall of the feminist movement, with particular attention paid to its broad transnational origins and influences and the elusive quest for unity across lines of ideology, identity, and sexuality, among other markers of difference. Spying on the women's liberation movement is an example of the broadening of state surveillance from a narrow anti-Communist focus to a variety of domestic targets identified with the left. At the same time, state surveillance of the women's liberation movement, which focused mainly on gender equality, differed from spying on other women's organizations connected to trade unionism or communism. Crucially, the files show how this male-dominated police force, staffed only by men until 1974, had particular expectations and interpretations of the women liberationists' appearance and behaviour which coloured their understanding of a movement intent on sparking a revolutionary reboot of gender relations. They also reveal the use of women informants, which significantly troubles the notion of sisterhood and has potentially serious consequences for those who took part in the movement. The authors reflect on the historiographical, methodological, and ethical challenges associated with using state surveillance files. Rising to the surface is the form and texture of everyday activism and surveillance, and the multiple ways in which those quotidian realities interconnected over time. By positioning surveillance of the women's liberation movement in Canada firmly within the context of the Cold War, the book aims to contribute to scholarship in surveillance studies, widen our understanding of state surveillance during the "long sixties," and to provide a new perspective on the history of feminist activism. More broadly, domestic surveillance of second wave feminism is a critical bridge linking a period that concentrated on communism and subversion in the late 20th century to a focus on terrorism and extremism in the 21st century."--

Abstract

A ‘moderately prosperous society’ with no Chinese individual left behind—that’s the vision for China set out by Chinese President Xi Jinping in a number of important speeches in 2017. ‘Moderate’ prosperity may seem like a modest goal for a country with more billionaires (609 at last count) than the US. But the ‘China Story’ is a complex one. The China Story Yearbook 2017: Prosperity surveys the important events, pronouncements, and personalities that defined 2017. It also presents a range of perspectives, from the global to the individual, the official to the unofficial, from mainland China to Hong Kong and Taiwan. Together, the stories present a richly textured portrait of a nation that in just forty years has lifted itself from universal poverty to (unequally distributed) wealth, changing itself and the world in the process.

Abstract

L'Histoire générale de la Chine, série de dix volumes illustrés, allie rigueur scientifique et plaisir de la lecture, et constitue à ce jour la plus importante synthèse jamais publiée sur la civilisation chinoise. Des chapitres chronologiques exposent, en début de volume, les grands jalons de l'histoire politique et institutionnelle de la période traitée. Ils sont suivis de sections thématiques (administration, vie quotidienne, religion, littérature, économie, etc.) soigneusement choisies en vue d'une véritable initiation du lecteur. L'ensemble est enrichi de nombreuses illustrations, de cartes en couleur, d'une chronologie, de diverses annexes et d'un index complet. LA REPUBLIQUE POPULAIRE DE CHINE En 1949, bien qu'elle se proclame en rupture radicale vis-à-vis des régimes qui l'ont précédée, la République populaire de Chine reprend à son compte les objectifs formulés par les réformateurs et les révolutionnaires de la première moitié du XXe siècle. La différence tient aux moyens mobilisés pour y parvenir. Dans les faits, la pratique du totalitarisme par Mao Zedong n'entraînera pas les transformations annoncées. Il lègue une société affaiblie et fracturée. Il faut attendre le tournant des années 1980 pour que la promesse de modernisation soit enfin tenue. Les réformes engagent alors le pays dans des mutations plus rapides qu'aucune société humaine n'en a jamais connues. Industrialisation, urbanisation, bureaucratisation, globalisation, migrations ne sont pourtant pas des phénomènes propres à la Chine ; s'ils y prennent une proportion hors du commun, ils s'éclairent par le comparatisme. Pour conduire cette démonstration, l'ouvrage s'appuie sur les acquis les plus récents de la recherche en sciences sociales alors que l'enquête de terrain est désormais possible et les archives pour partie ouvertes. --

Abstract

Comment se fait-il qu'un historien formé à l’histoire économique et sociale ait pu développer un parcours cohérent à travers des thématiques aussi différentes que l’évolution de la rente et du crédit hypothécaire en terre de Liège au 18e siècle, la littérature dévote bourgeoise en langue française du 20e siècle, les représentations de la Chine par les savants et les aventuriers du 19e et du 20e siècle ?En lisant ces études, on se rend compte que le fil rouge reliant des objets d’enquête si différents est celui que Paul Servais définit à plusieurs reprises comme « la composante humaine ». Un élément constitutif et unificateur d’expériences diverses, comme le sont les sphères d’action mobilisées par tout être humain dans le courant de sa vie. Si chaque historien est avant tout le fils de son temps, Paul Servais est un enfant des Annales, avec toute la richesse de cette tradition historiographique capable de circuler entre les sources les plus disparates dans la confiance déterminée de ceux qui veulent saisir l’homme.Le parcours par étapes proposé ici est nourri par la recherche passionnée de « la composante humaine » dans ses différentes facettes, éclairées par la notion polysémique du paysage. En effet, de l’histoire matérielle à l’histoire culturelle, c’est le paysage – physique ou intérieur – qui s’impose comme contexte essentiel des hommes et des femmes étudiés et qui façonne les modes de vie et les esprits.Pour ce parcours, la collection « L’Atelier d’Érasme » se veut fidèle à son choix de promouvoir l’échange entre chercheurs de générations différentes. C’est cet esprit qui a amené Silvia Mostaccio à relire et à éclairer ces travaux de recherche, en dialogue avec l’auteur.

Abstract

The rise of  China as an emerging power and as the most likely challenger to the global preponderance of the US is already having a significant impact across the globe. This phenomenon is being debated and analysed at various levels. In India too, it is generating a lot of excitement. On the one hand, it is considered to be an opportunity and on the other, a challenge. China represents the most impressive and, because of its size, the most important development success story in the world history. Increasingly, 'look east' will mean looking to China. Within a generation China is likely to become the largest economy in the world and in that position it has much to contribute to developed and developing countries in terms of trade and investment and above all, in terms of ideas on development. In Asia, the rise of China has translated into increased assertiveness - both in the South China Sea and now in the Indian Ocean Region. China's formidable naval presence in the Indian Ocean, 'all-weather' friendship with Pakistan, growing influence in Nepal and Bangladesh, and increasing border skirmishes in Arunachal Pradhesh all are glaring indicators of China's intentions. The much-traded liberal argument that the deep-rooted economic engagements between the two countries would limit the possibility of the confrontation doesn't seem to convince anymore. Instead, an increasingly assertive China is likely to arrest India's geostrategic and national interests. The most decisive counter therefore is to prepare for a disguised cold war in the region, which is imminent by its early signs. This book covers China' role in global power dynamics - competition or cooperation with major powers and its neighbours and its power status. Strategic implications of China's rise dictate the courses of action to be adopted by the United States whom it intends to displace and its immediate neighbor India.

Abstract

China’s Arctic Ambitions and What They Mean for Canada is one of the first in-depth studies of China’s increasing interest in the Arctic. It offers a holistic approach to understanding Chinese motivations and the potential impacts of greater Chinese presence in the circumpolar region, exploring resource development, shipping, scientific research, governance, and security. Drawing on extensive research in Chinese government documentation, business and media reports, and current academic literature, this timely volume eschews the traditional assumption that Chinese actions are unified and monolithic in their approach to Arctic affairs. Instead, it offers a careful analysis of the different, and often competing, interests and priorities of Chinese government and industry. Analyzing Chinese interests and activities from a Canadian perspective, the book provides an unparalleled point of reference to discuss the implications for the Canadian and broader circumpolar North.
