Описание:

This edited collection considers how transformations in contemporary societies have raised questions surrounding our sense of community and belonging, alongside our management of increased diversity.

Diversity and Contestations over Nationalism in Europe and Canada includes contributions that consider the rise in regional nationalism and a greater willingness to recognise that many states are multinational. It critically explores the effects of altered patterns of immigration and emigration, including whether they give rise to (or re-invigorate) transnational or border-crossing forms of nationalism.

The book also identifies the patterns of national transformation, especially in Europe, which we see coupled with significant nationalist reactions by populists as well as extreme right-wing movements and parties. This multidisciplinary collection of works will be a useful resource forresearchers and students of political sociology in Europe and Canada, particularly within the contexts of immigration, multiculturalism and globalization.

Описание:

Intersectionality intervenes in the field of intersectionality studies: the integrative examination of the effects of racial, gendered, and class power on people's lives. While "intersectionality" circulates as a buzzword, Anna Carastathis joins other critical voices to urge a more careful reading. Challenging the narratives of arrival that surround it, Carastathis argues that intersectionality is a horizon, illuminating ways of thinking that have yet to be realized; consequently, calls to "go beyond" intersectionality are premature. A provisional interpretation of intersectionality can disorient habits of essentialism, categorial purity, and prototypicality and overcome dynamics of segregation and subordination in political movements.


Through a close reading of critical race theorist Kimberl Williams Crenshaw's germinal texts, published more than twenty-five years ago, Carastathis urges analytic clarity, contextual rigor, and a politicized, historicized understanding of this widely traveling concept. Intersectionality's roots in social justice movements and critical intellectual projects--specifically Black feminism--must be retraced and synthesized with a decolonial analysis so its radical potential to actualize coalitions can be enacted.

Описание: <em>Contestations of Memory in Southeast Asia </em>applies a new theoretical literature on social memory to remembered events in Burma, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and Indonesia. Highlighting connections between theorizing based on European examples and unresolved memory issues in East and Southeast Asia, the authors show how comparative study of the interpenetration of politics and lived bodily experience, of communal and personal memories, and of dominant and suppressed narratives, can yield insights into the human potential to become either perpetrators, victims or bystanders. The memories found within different groups in any society are open to negotiation, suppression, contestation, or revision in the ever-evolving politics of the present. The searching and close-grained analyses of contemporary issues found in the volume vividly illustrate the essentially plural and multivocal nature of social memories, and demonstrate the intricate connection between transnational, national and sub-national politics. Readers seeking a more nuanced and complex understanding of the past and of its continued relevance to the present and future, will find here much food for thought.

Описание: This volume examines how the history of the humanities might be written through the prism of scholarly personae, understood as time- and place-specific models of being a scholar. Focusing on the field of study known as Orientalism in the decades around 1900, this volume examines how Semitists, Sinologists, and Japanologists, among others, conceived of their scholarly tasks, what sort of demands these job descriptions made on the scholar in terms of habits, virtues, and skills, and how models of being an orientalist changed over time under influence of new research methods, cross-cultural encounters, and political transformations. Contributors are: Tim Barrett, Christiaan Engberts, Holger Gzella, Hans Martin Kramer, Arie L. Molendijk, Herman Paul, Pascale Rabault-Feuerhahn and Henning Truper.

Описание: Samira Farhoud analyse dans ce livre incontournable l’importance de la contribution de l’ecriture autobiographique maghrebine au developpement de la litterature francophone a partir de l’?uvre d’Assia Djebar, de Sakinna Boukhedenna, de Fatiah, de Malika Oufkir et de Fatima Mernissi. Elle examine la complexite, l’hybridite et l’heterogeneite du « je » autobiographique. Son etude archeologique et genealogique inedite du « je » decele la richesse du genre autobiographique pratique par des auteures issues du Maghreb. Elle montre comment le « je » ramasse des traditions arabo-islamique, occidentale et cosmopolite. Cet heritage de traditions mediterraneennes est observe comme un « butin de guerre » sociolinguistique et socioculturel bien qu’une « sequelle » d’un amer passe colonial. Ce « metissage » de cultures se demarque par son ambivalence. Le « je » de Djebar, Mernissi, Fatiah et Boukhedenna s’oppose au paternalisme politique au nom des femmes et des « voix des femmes invisibles. » Le « je » devient un « nous » de « sororite » («sisterhood») entre les femmes. Toutefois, le « je » de Malika Oufkir reste delimite par le nombrilisme familial (le « nous Oufkir »). Le « nous » sera diasporique et liminal sous la plume (le qalam) de Sakinna Boukhedenna. Dans sa quete d’identite, elle rejette les concepts de citoyennete et adopte une « Nationalite : immigre(e) » et reclame une nouvelle identite, celle d’une femme arabe libre sur « le chemin de l’exil » et de l’ecriture. L’ecriture autobiographique des femmes phares et elites comme Assia Dejbar et Fatima Mernissi et des ecrivaines occasionnelles a l’image de Sakinna Boukhedenna, Fatiah et Malika Oufkir collaborent a la comprehension sociopolitique du Maghreb, de l’Europe et surtout de la France (l’ancien pays colonisateur) dans leur lecture et reecriture de l’Histoire (avec un grand « h »). Elles deconstruisent l’Histoire et l’autobiographie dans leur ecriture et contestent les autorites paternalistes coloniales et nationales.

Описание: In 1844, Lydia Sigourney asserted, ""Man's warfare on the trees is terrible."" Like Sigourney many American women of her day engaged with such issues as sustainability, resource wars, globalization, voluntary simplicity, Christian ecology, and environmental justice. Illuminating the foundations for contemporary women's environmental writing, Fallen Forests shows how their nineteenth-century predecessors marshaled powerful affective, ethical, and spiritual resources to chastise, educate, and motivate readers to engage in positive social change.Fallen Forests contributes to scholarship in American women's writing, ecofeminism, ecocriticism, and feminist rhetoric, expanding the literary, historical, and theoretical grounds for some of today's most pressing environmental debates. Karen L. Kilcup rejects prior critical emphases on sentimentalism to show how women writers have drawn on their literary emotional intelligence to raise readers' consciousness about social and environmental issues. She also critiques ecocriticism's idealizing tendency, which has elided women's complicity in agendas that depart from today's environmental orthodoxies.Unlike previous ecocritical works, Fallen Forests includes marginalized texts by African American, Native American, Mexican American, working-class, and non-Protestant women. Kilcup also enlarges ecocriticism's genre foundations, showing how Cherokee oratory, travel writing, slave narrative, diary, polemic, sketches, novels, poetry, and exposé intervene in important environmental debates.
