The yearning for historical justice - that is, for the redress of past wrongs - has become one of the defining features of our age. Governments, international bodies and civil society organisations address historical injustices through truth commissions, tribunals, official apologies and other transitional justice measures. Historians produce knowledge of past human rights violations, and museums, memorials and commemorative ceremonies try to keep that knowledge alive and remember the victims of injustices.
In this book, researchers with a background in history, archaeology, cultural studies, literary studies and sociology explore the various attempts to recover and remember the past as a means of addressing historic wrongs. Case studies include sites of persecution in Germany, Argentina and Chile, the commemoration of individual victims of Nazi Germany, memories of life under South Africa's apartheid regime, and the politics of memory in Israel and in Northern Ireland. The authors critique memory, highlight silences and absences, explore how to engage with the ghosts of the past, and ask what drives individuals, including professional historians, to strive for historical justice.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Rethinking History.
Area Studies became increasingly common after World War II as a means of responding to perceived 'external threats' from the Soviet Union and China. After the Cold War and in the face of increasingly rapid globalisation, it seemed inevitable that Area Studies - institutionally and intellectually - would slowly degenerate. But this has not been the case, and there has recently been a resurgence of interest in it as an effective and positive research paradigm. Responding to this renewed interest, this book brings together an esteemed group of contributors at the cutting edge of the field to consider the state of Area Studies today and its prospects for the future.
The Rebirth of Area Studies demonstrates that numerous aspects of the research paradigm in fact recommend it as well-suited for the present moment and the challenges posed by globalisation, both as a means to overcome disciplinary limitations and to increase self-reflexivity. Area Studies research is grounded in place-specific knowledge, yet by definition it transcends nation as the basic unit of analysis and thus empowers comparative and trans-national approaches. This book outlines a new, critical Area Studies for the 21st century - self-reflexive, aware of its limitations and conscious of its origins in geopolitical, strategic or ideological considerations - and is essential reading for historians, geographers and political scientists.

Описание: Philosopher Horace Meyer Kallen is credited with the concept of cultural pluralism. Though living and teaching in Wisconsin when he developed the theory, his sojourn in the Midwest rarely figures in accounts of the theory`s origins. And yet, Michael Steiner suggests, the Midwest was the essential catalyst for the theory of cultural pluralism.

Описание: "Carefully thought out and clearly written and presented, Contemporary PerforMemory makes a significant contribution to several fields: memory studies, dance studies, postcolonial studies, diaspora studies, affect studies, as well as scholarly reflections on the archive, on embodiment, the emotions and movement, all from an informed, critical feminist perspective. Zami makes surprising connections that reveal important resonances between shared histories of remembrance." (Prof. Marianne Hirsch, Columbia University) "Zami is committed to a rigorous methodology in order to think through and theorize contemporary dance in diaspora. Her book is intercultural and cross-cultural and demonstrates an understanding of race and gender from the perspective of someone who can think globally. This, combined with a discerning critical eye for reading unique contemporary performance, has yielded a remarkable body of research." (Prof. Nadine George-Graves, Chair of Dance, Ohio State University)
Автор: Brendan Kelly Название: The Good Fight: Marcel Cadieux and Canadian Diplomacy ISBN: 0774838973 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780774838979 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 41760.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: The distinguished career of Marcel Cadieux makes him arguably the most important francophone diplomat and civil servant in Canadian history. Cadieux’s decision to join the Department of External Affairs in 1941 was unconventional for a French Canadian of the time, yet public service became his vocation. Against the backdrop of rising Quebec separatism and the Cold War, he headed the department from 1964 to 1970 and served as Canada’s first francophone ambassador to the United States from 1970 to 1975. Cadieux’s profound belief in the dignity of service speaks eloquently to readers today, when professionalism and expertise are often undervalued.

Exploring the visions of the end of the Cold War that have been put forth since its inception until its actual ending, this volume brings to the fore the reflections, programmes, and strategies that were intended to call into question the bipolar system and replace it with alternative approaches or concepts. These visions were associated not only with prominent individuals, organized groups and civil societies, but were also connected to specific historical processes or events. They ranged from actual, thoroughly conceived programmes, to more blurred, utopian aspirations — or simply the belief that the Cold War had already, in effect, come to an end. Such visions reveal much about the contexts in which they were developed and shed light on crucial moments and phases of the Cold War.

As new presidential administrations come into power, they each bring their own approach to foreign policy. No grand strategy, however, is going to be completely novel. New administrations never start with a blank slate, so it is always possible to see similarities between an administration and its predecessors. Conversely, since each administration faces novel problems and operates in a unique context, no foreign policy strategy is going to be an exact replica of its predecessors. In American Pendulum, Christopher Hemmer examines America's grand strategic choices between 1914 and 2014 using four recurring debates in American foreign policy as lenses. First, how should the United States balance the trade-offs between working alone versus working with other states and international organizations? Second, what is the proper place of American values in foreign policy? Third, where does the strategic perimeter of the United States lie? And fourth, is time on the side of the United States or of its enemies?Offering new readings of debates within the Wilson, Truman, Nixon, Bush, and Obama administrations, Hemmer asserts that heated debates, disagreements, and even confusions over U.S. grand strategy are not only normal but also beneficial. He challenges the claim that uncertainties or inconsistences about the nation's role in the world or approach to security issues betray strategic confusion or the absence of a grand strategy. American foreign policy, he states, is most in danger not when debates are at their most pointed but when the weight of opinion crushes dissent. As the United States looks ahead to an increasingly multipolar world with increasing complicated security issues, Hemmer concludes, developing an effective grand strategy requires ongoing contestation and compromises between competing visions and policies.

Описание: L’histoire r?cente consacre le passage de la censure ?tatique directe ? des formes int?rioris?es d’autocensure. Le sujet n’en reste pas moins d’actualit?, y compris dans les d?mocraties occidentales o? on assiste ? des demandes ?manant de groupes religieux pour faire interdire disques, journaux, livres, films jug?s blessants ou blasph?matoires. Les possibilit?s d’expression offertes par les nouveaux m?dias suscitent l’affolement des ligues de vertu et un strict verrouillage dans les pays o? la libert? de parole reste interdite. L’optique de l’ouvrage d?borde cependant du cadre contemporain. Le choix d’une chronologie longue l’inscrit dans une r?flexion g?n?rale sur l’?volution des sensibilit?s au sein de « l’espace moral », en privil?giant la question des fronti?res changeantes, car historiquement construites, de ce qui a ?t? per?u comme dicible ou indicible. Les 23 contributions r?unies abordent les mod?les de conception et les modalit?s d’application de la censure ? travers ses objets (publications licencieuses, presse, ?uvres d’art, lectures de l’histoire, opinions h?t?rodoxes), les moyens de son exercice, et ses enjeux politiques.
