Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les « lieux de mémoire » lancés par Pierre Nora dans les années 1980 ont connu un grand succès dans différentes historiographies européennes. Le présent ouvrage veut faire sortir ce concept du cadre national dans lequel il reste encore trop souvent enfermé. Ce désenclavement passe par une ouverture méthodologique aux autres disciplines qui réfléchissent sur le couple identité/mémoire, ainsi que par une analyse historiographique de son utilisation et enfin par une inscription dans une réflexion transnationale. Comment les « lieux de mémoire » s'inscrivent-ils dans le champ plus large des memory studies ? Comment le concept a-t-il « migré » de la France vers l'Allemagne, les Pays-Bas ou la Suisse ? La polysémie du mot explique-t-elle son succès ? Voici quelques-unes des questions auxquelles une vingtaine d'auteurs essaient de donner une réponse. Der von Pierre Nora in den 1980er Jahren popularisierte Begriff der lieux de mémoire (Erinnerungsorte) hat in der Historiographie vieler Länder Europas große Resonanz gefunden. Der vorliegende Band hat vor, den nationalen Rahmen, in dem dieser Begriff noch zu oft benutzt wird, zu überwinden. Diese Annäherung setzt eine methodologische Eröffnung voraus. Dabei werden die anderen Disziplinen, die sich mit dem Begriffspaar Identität/Gedächtnis auseinander setzen, berücksichtigt. Die historiographische Analyse des Begriffes und eine resolute transnationale Verortung tragen dazu bei die Debatte zu erweitern. Wie integrieren sich die «Erinnerungsorte» im weiteren Feld der memory studies? Wie ist der Begriff von Frankreich nach Deutschland, in die Niederlande oder in die Schweiz «migriert»? Bildet die Mehrdeutigkeit des Wortes einen Schlüssel für seinen Erfolg? Solche Fragen versuchen die ca. 20 Verfasser dieses Sammelbandes zu beantworten.

Download or read book Inventing Luxembourg written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The grand duchy of Luxembourg was created after the Napoleonic Wars, but at the time there was no 'nation' that identified with the emergent state. This book analyses how politicians, scholars and artists have initiated and contributed to nation-building processes in Luxembourg since the nineteenth century, processes that as this book argues are still ongoing. The focus rests on three types of representations of nationhood: a shared past, a common homeland and a national language. History was written so as to justify the country's political independence. Territorial borders shifted meaning, constantly repositioning the national community. The local dialect initially considered German variant was gradually transformed into the 'national language', Luxembourgish.

This book was released on with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au cours des 19e et 20e siècles, le Burundi a connu l’occupation de deux puissances « coloniales » européennes, en l’occurrence l’Allemagne (1896 – 1916) et la Belgique (1916 – 19622). La plus grande partie de l’occupation belge du Burundi l’a été dans le cadre du Mandat de la Société des Nations (1922 – 1962), et de la Tutelle des Nations Unies (1946 – 1962). Cette période coloniale laisse encore de nombreuses zones d’ombre que les recherches existantes n’ont pas encore éclaircies. C’est dans l’optique de contribuer à la dissipation de ces zones d’ombre que l’Université de Freiburg (Caritas Studies) a organisé un symposium international dans le cadre de la Girubuntu Peace Academy (GPA) dont ce volume est le résultat. Il propose des regards croisés des chercheurs européens et africains sur une question qui divise encore les héritiers des colonisateurs et des peuples coloniaux. Au niveau de la structure, les contributions sont regroupées autour de deux thématiques. La première thématique regroupe des sujets en rapport avec la gestion du passé colonial et se concentre sur les réalités et les perspectives. La deuxième thématique réunit des contributions centrées autour de la problématique de la perte des valeurs et crises identitaires.
Download or read book Society State and Identity in African History written by Bahru Zewde and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2008 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fourth Congress of the Association of African historians was held in Addis Ababa in May 2007. These 21 papers are a key selection of the papers presented there, with an introduction by the distinguished historian Bahru Zewde. Given the contemporary salience and the historical depth of the issue of identity, the congress was devoted to that global phenomenon within Africa. The papers explore and analyse the issue of identity in its diverse temporal settings, from its pre-colonial roots to its cotemporary manifestations. The papers are divided into six parts: Pre-Colonial Identities; Colonialism and Identity; Conceptions of the Nation-State and Identity; Identity-Based Conflicts; Migration and Acculturation; and Memory, History and Identity. The authors are scholars from Benin, Botswana, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Bahru Zewde is Emeritus Professor of History at Addis Ababa University, Executive Director of the Forum for Social Studies, and Vice-President of the Association of African Historians. He was formerly Chairperson of the Department of History and Director of the Institute of Ethiopian Studies at Addis Ababa University. Amongst his publication is A History of Modern Ethiopia 1855-1991.

This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The circulation and entanglements of human beings, data, and goods have not necessarily and by themselves generated a universalising consciousness. The "global" and the "universal", in other words, are not the same. The idea of a world-society remains highly contested. Our times are marked by the fragmentation of a double relativistic character: the inevitable critique of Western universalism on the one hand, and resurgent identitarian and neo-nationalistic claims to identity on the other. Sources of an argumentation for a strong universalism brought forward by Western traditions such as Christianity, Marxism, and Liberalism have largely lost their legitimation. All the while, manifold and situated narratives of a common world that re-address the universal are under way of being produced and gain significance. This volume tracks the development and relevance of such cultural and social practices that posit forms of what we call minor universality. It asks: Where and how do contemporary practices open up concrete settings so as to create experiences, reflections and agencies of a shared humanity?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Nation auf dem Prüfstand ist aus einem gemeinsamen Projekt deutscher, französischer und amerikanischer Universitäten hervorgegangen. In fruchtbarer Synthese von geschichts-, politik-, kultur-, sprach- und literaturwissenschaftlichen Ansätzen diskutieren die Autoren das Spannungsverhältnis von Nation und Transnationalität im beginnenden 3. Jahrtausend. Dem Ineinandergreifen von Nation und transnationalen Strukturen gilt das besondere Interesse: in Transferprozessen seit dem 18. Jahrhundert, in der partiellen Auflösung der 'Nation' als heuristischer Kategorie bereits auf dem Höhepunkt der europäischen Nationalstaatsbildung im 19. Jahrhundert, im facettenreichen Spannungsverhältnis von Nation, Europäisierung und Globalisierung im 20. Jahrhundert sowie in neuen Nationsbildungsprozessen des ausgehenden 20. Jahrhunderts.
Download or read book Sea of Literatures written by Angela Fabris and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mediterranean studies flourish in literary and cultural studies, but concepts of the Mediterranean and the theories and methods they use are very disparate. This is because the Mediterranean is not a simple geographical or historical unity, but a multiplicity, a network of highly interconnected elements, each of which is different and individual. Talking about Mediterranean literature raises the question of whether the connectivity of Mediterranean literature can or should be limited in some way by constructing an inside and an outside of the Mediterranean. What kind of connectivity and fragmentation do literary texts produce, how do they build and interrupt references (to the real, to fictional forms of representation, to history, but also to other texts and discourses), how do they create and deny communication, and how do they engage with and reflect literary and non-literary concepts of the Mediterranean? These and other questions are considered and discussed in the over twenty contributions gathered in this volume.

Download or read book Parcours identitaires written by Fabre and published by Presses Sorbonne Nouvelle. This book was released on 1993 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La quête identitaire passe le plus souvent par la confrontation à l'autre. Celle des groupes ethniques dans les Etats-Unis d'aujourd'hui est étudiée ici comme un déplacement à travers un espace, privé ou public, dont les limites, les frontières, les repères et les codes sont constamment redéfinis. Quelques parcours exemplaires et singuliers sont analysés dans ce recueil - à partir de textes et de documents précis - afin de mieux cerner le travail de la mémoire et de l'imaginaire (individuels et collectifs), les rites de passage, la construction de sens et l'élaboration symbolique. Chaque trajectoire est imprimée de mouvements ambigus, complexes et contradictoires. Il se dégage de ces exemples une problématique de l'exil, de la rupture et des échanges culturels qui remet parfois en question les modèles proposés ou prescrits par la société dominante
Download or read book Regional Balance and National Integration in Cameroon written by Paul Nchoji Nkwi and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2011 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a series of reflections by Cameroon scholars on a variety of topics associated with regional balance and national integration. The different reflections look for answers to some burning questions of the day such as: Where are we coming from? Where are we going? How are we going where we are going? Have the different state ideologies offered appropriate solutions to the quest for a strong, united, stable and prosperous nation-state? If not, what has gone wrong and why? What can be done to shape the future and accommodate the aspirations of the men and women of Cameroon and of their progeny? The book addresses the issue of national unity and national integration within the context of different political perceptions and visions. It examines the merits and demerits of the policy of regional balance of the Ahmadou Ahidjo years (1960-1982). Focus is also on the underlying flaws of this doctrine and philosophy. The debate also addresses some critical questions of the national integration policy and practices of Paul Biya, President since November 1982. The policy has failed to achieve its stated goals and has ended up in the ethnicisation and polarisation of national life. The future of the Cameroon nation-state, with its rich ethnic and cultural diversity, seems to be in jeopardy as internal forces question the management of civil society by leaders who have lost the sense of justice and equity. Why are there several voices singing the song of destitution and disappointment with the state? Have regionalism and the rhetoric of national integration and balance emerged as untenable polities within a nation-state in search of an identity and responsible leadership? These are some of the questions and issues Cameroonian and Cameroonist scholars have tried to address in this collection of 28 well-researched and outstandingly argued essays.

Book excerpt: "En raison, notamment, de leur poids démographique et de leur volonté de revendiquer un statut de citoyens actifs, les jeunes sont apparus de façon spectaculaire dans l'espace public africain depuis les années 1990. Bien qu'ils soient un élément essentiel à la compréhension des dynamiques sociales face à l'érosion des engagements de l'État et aux transformations de la famille, il apparaît incontournable d'étudier les jeunes en relation avec les autres groupes d'âge. C'est ainsi que l'analyse des dynamiques intergénérationnelles en Afrique prend toute son importance afin de rendre compte des changements qui ont cours depuis la moitié du XXe siècle. Ce livre s'inscrit donc dans une tendance récente de la recherche qui montre un regain d'intérêt pour l'étude des générations et de l'intergénérationnel en Afrique. La notion de génération n'est toutefois pas nouvelle dans l'analyse des dynamiques sociales en Afrique, notamment si l'on se réfère à l'écrit fondateur de Karl Mannheim, Le problème des générations (1928), dans lequel il invite à mettre en évidence "tous les changements dus à la dynamique historico-sociale" pour bien cerner les éléments de changements liés au facteur de génération. La perspective adoptée dans ce livre est de voir comment les apports intergénérationnels se modifient, comment la légitimité des aînés peut être rediscutée et comment les jeunes tentent d'échapper aux difficultés et aux contraintes. Ce regard a conduit les auteurs à trouver de nouveaux lieux pour observer les jeunes mais aussi des espaces communs aux différentes générations. Dans cet ouvrage, ils mettent en avant les continuités et les discontinuités des lieux de conflits et de négociations, ainsi que les stratégies de coopération qui marquent les rapports entre les générations. Pour cela, ils rendent compte des dynamiques intergénérationnelles, tant à l'échelle macro (société civile) qu'à l'échelle micro (espaces privés, tranches de vie), et croisent divers thèmes dans une optique pluridisciplinaire. Les contributions sont le fruit de recherches menées sur le terrain dans différents pays."--P. [4] of cover.
