Book excerpt: Cahiers Parisiens/Parisian Notebooks publish selected papers drawn from the various advanced-level activities at the University of Chicago Center in Paris. In Volume Seven, scholars from across the continent consider Europe as a discourse made of the sediments of historical experience and utopian ideas. Attached to a geographical region with constantly shifting boundaries, the group considers EUtROPEs as the cultural codes that endow Europe with the many meanings that it has held for different actors at different times. Twenty historians, linguists, cultural scientists, musicologists, and scholars of philosophy, urban studies, and film studies who came together at the University of Chicago's Center in Paris discuss these tropes in different fields and consider whether the present can continue to bear the weight of the many ideas and legacies of Europe.

Book Clashes in European Memory

Download or read book Clashes in European Memory written by Muriel Blaive and published by Studien Verlag. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume the conflicted memories of Communist repression and the Holocaust in the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Russia, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland, France, Germany, the former Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria are discussed between the poles of politics of history and communicative memories. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of the memory clashes in the different national arenas. The comparative approach allows also for the identification of transnational memory patterns. Finally, the country specific case studies are completed by a theoretical section, in which historians and cultural scientists reflect on contradictory aspects concerning memory, historiography, and learning in contemporary Europe.

Book Empire Speaks Out

    Book Details:
  • Author : Ilya Gerasimov
  • Publisher : BRILL
  • Release : 2009-06-02
  • ISBN : 904742915X
  • Pages : 286 pages

Download or read book Empire Speaks Out written by Ilya Gerasimov and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-06-02 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians habitually write about empires that expand, wage wars, and collapse, as if empires were self-evident and self-conscious entities with a distinct and clear sense of purpose. The stories of empires are told in the language of modern nation-centred social sciences: multi-cultural and heterogeneous empires of the past appear either as huge “nations” with a common language, culture, and territory, or as amalgamations of would-be nations striving to gain independence. Empire Speaks Out reconstructs the historical encounter of the Russian Empire of the seventeenth through the early twentieth centuries with the complex challenge of modernity. It does so by taking the self-awareness of empire seriously, and by looking into how bureaucrats, ideologues, politicians, scholars, and modern professionals described the ethnic, cultural, and social diversity of the empire. “Empire” then reveals itself not through deliberate and well-conceived actions of some mysterious political body, but as a series of “imperial situations” that different people encounter and perceive in common categories. The rationalization of previously intuitive social practices as imperial languages is the central theme of the collection. This book is published with support from Volkswagen Foundation, within the collective research project “Languages of Self Description and Representation in the Russian Empire”

Book The Anthropology of the Enlightenment

Download or read book The Anthropology of the Enlightenment written by Larry Wolff and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-04 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern enterprise of anthropology, with all of its important implications for cross-cultural perceptions, perspectives, and self-consciousness emerged from the eighteenth-century intellectual context of the Enlightenment. If the Renaissance discovered perspective in art, it was the Enlightenment that articulated and explored the problem of perspective in viewing history, culture, and society. If the Renaissance was the age of oceanic discovery—most dramatically the discovery of the New World of America—the critical reflections of the Enlightenment brought about an intellectual rediscovery of the New World and thus laid the foundations for modern anthropology. The contributions that constitute this book present the multiple anthropological facets of the Enlightenment, and suggest that the character of its intellectual engagements—acknowledging global diversity, interpreting human societies, and bridging cultural difference—must be understood as a whole to be fundamentally anthropological.

Book Narratives of Enlightenment

    Book Details:
  • Author : Karen O'Brien
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 1997-06-05
  • ISBN : 0521465338
  • Pages : 268 pages

Download or read book Narratives of Enlightenment written by Karen O'Brien and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-06-05 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narratives of Enlightenment is an interdisciplinary study of cosmopolitan approaches to the past. It reappraises the work of five of the most important narrative historians of the century - Voltaire, David Hume, William Robertson, Edward Gibbon and the historian of the American Revolution, David Ramsay - in the context of political and national debates in France, Scotland, England and America; and it investigates the nature and degree of their intellectual investment in the idea of a common European civilisation. Karen O'Brien combines the methodologies of literary criticism and intellectual history to explore debates about Enlightenments and the political uses of narrative. Where previous studies have emphasised the growth of nationalism in eighteenth-century literature, she reveals the development of cosmopolitan ways of thinking beyond national cultural issues.

Book The War Over Perpetual Peace

Download or read book The War Over Perpetual Peace written by Eric Easley and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2004-12-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the various competing interpretations of Kant's foundational Perpetual Peace since its initial publication in the late eighteenth century. According to Easley's analysis, there are two patterns of interpretations: first, the text endorses peace proposals above the state level and second, the text is in favor of peace proposals at the state level. Eric Easley provides a comprehensive historical background and analytical framework for understanding Perpetual Peace, allowing scholars of international relations to better understand and appreciate its complex meaning and see beyond the conventionally accepted interpretations of the day.
