Download or read book The Once and Future Liberal written by Mark Lilla and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly 40 years, Ronald Reagan's vision--small government, lower taxes, and self-reliant individualism--has remained America's dominant political ideology. The Democratic Party has offered no truly convincing competing vision. Instead, American liberalism has fallen under the spell of identity politics.Mark Lilla argues with acerbic wit that liberals, originally driven by a sincere desire to protect the most vulnerable Americans, have now unwittingly invested their energies in social movements rather than winning elections. This abandonment of political priorities has had dire consequences. But, with the Republican Party led by an unpredictable demagogue and in ideological disarray, Lilla believes liberals now have an opportunity to turn from the divisive politics of identity, and offer positive ideas for a shared future. A fiercely-argued, no-nonsense book, The Once and Future Liberal is essential reading for our momentous times.

Download or read book Geopolitical Amnesia written by Vibeke Schou Tjalve and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far-right movements, parties, and governments are changing the language and logic of international order. Zero-sum geopolitics - from Donald Trump to Brexit - and the rhetoric of putting the national interest "first" are back, and along with them come a deep fascination with the values of patriarchy, masculinity, and strength. Putting these dramatic shifts in contemporary American and European foreign policy into wider historical and intellectual context, Geopolitical Amnesia explores the liberal crisis beneath the resurgence of far-right ideas. Drawing on memory studies, it addresses the ways in which the new geopolitics intersects and interplays with an exhausted and amnesiatic liberalism. Scholars with expertise on national and regional ideological traditions look at contemporary memory wars - competing revisionist histories - from Washington to Warsaw, and from the Anglosphere to Southern, Western, and Eastern Europe. They address the changing conditions of memory and nostalgia and discuss how and why it matters that the new geopolitics takes place in an age of accelerated, fragmented, and digitalized global media. Timely and ambitious, this accessible collection reveals the far-right ideas behind the return of geopolitics and the crisis of liberalism that paved its way.
Download or read book L obsession identitaire written by Philippe Forget and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spartacus était-il obsédé par son identité ? Non, il luttait pour sa liberté. Maintenant, le bavardage politicien s'affole entre "conflits identitaires" et "crises identitaires", identités "heureuses" ou "malheureuses". C'est autour des thèmes de liberté et de souveraineté que s'est nouée l'histoire politique de l'Occident moderne ; et c'est au travers des figures renaissantes de leur culture que les nations ont affirmé leur caractère. De quoi alors l'obsession identitaire est-elle le signe quand elle s'empare du discours politique au détriment de la liberté et de la créativité ? Cet essai, précis et concis, éclaire comment les bouleversements migratoires et le retour du pouvoir religieux affectent notre conscience de la liberté. Mais plus profondément, autant derrière l'assignation à l'origine que derrière le culte oblatif de l'Autre, il décrypte une crise de la volonté. Pour qui n'attend plus rien du monde, reste l'unique négation de soi. Les puissances prométhéennes de la liberté et de la créativité surmonteront-elles le nihilisme que révèle l'obsession identitaire ?

Download or read book Constructions identitaires et pratiques sociales written by Pierre Savard and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’identité, a toujours semblé dire Pierre Savard, ne doit pas être cherchée dans ce qui isole, ce qui sépare. Elle est une construction spécifique dont la dynamique, riche de la quantité ainsi que de la diversité des relations et des pratiques dont elle s’est nourrie, finit par exercer sur ces dernières une grande influence. C’est à ce dialogue entre les constructions identitaires et les pratiques sociales qu’a été consacré ce colloque, tenu à l’Université d’Ottawa et dédié à la mémoire de Pierre Savard. Les textes réunis en ces pages sont le fruit de cette rencontre pluridisciplinaire, qui, en plus de rendre hommage à un collègue trop tôt disparu, a présenté une vingtaine de communications tournant autour d’un thème très présent dans les débats actuels en sciences humaines, celui des constructions identitaires. Le colloque a voulu notamment mettre en évidence comment les acteurs, collectifs aussi bien qu’individuels, font et refont leur identité, et s’en servent, le plus souvent inconsciemment, pour orienter leurs activités; et comment, en retour, ils laissent aux pratiques le soin de donner une coloration particulière à leur identité. Puissent tous les articles issus de cette rencontre perpétuer le souvenir de Pierre Savard, l’homme et le scientifique, le professeur et l’éternel voyageur, celui qui, partout où il se trouvait, éveillait sympathie et enthousiasme.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partition de l'Inde en 1947, partition du Pakistan en 1971, sécessionnisme des Tigres tamouls à Sri Lanka, régionalisme tournant à la lutte armée dans plusieurs États indiens, conflits inter-religieux et divisions sectaires, revendications linguistiques, poussée du nationalisme hindou mais aussi des mouvements de castes : les tensions identitaires ont marqué de leur sceau l'histoire du dernier demi-siècle en Asie du Sud. Récusant l'approche essentialiste qui enferme les hommes et les communautés dans des stéréotypes propices à toutes les manipulations, ce volume souligne comment se construisent, dans un sous-continent extraordinairement divers, les figures de l'identité, et comment elles se croisent dans des superpositions, des enchevêtrements, des glissements d'appartenances. Identités religieuses, culturelles, sociales, politiques, voire économiques ; identités nationales et régionales : c'est à diverses échelles et par des voies multiples - anthropologie, histoire, sociologie, littérature, sciences politiques - que les auteurs de cet ouvrage éclairent les complexes réalités du champ sud-asiatique. Mais en se penchant sur l'Inde, le Pakistan, le Bangladesh, Sri Lanka ou le Népal, ils apportent aussi leur contribution à des débats plus larges sur l'ethnographie coloniale, l'orientalisme, les lectures et usages de l'histoire, les constructions culturelles de l'identité, les pratiques identitaires des communismes asiatiques, la critique post-moderne de l'État-nation et du sécularisme, pour enrichir une problématique majeure qui agite aujourd'hui, à travers un monde dit globalisé, tant les peuples que les intellectuels et les politiques.

Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of Daughters and Brown Girl, Brownstones comes a “work of exceptional wisdom, maturity, and generosity, one in which the palpable humanity of its characters transcends any considerations of race or sex”(Washington Post Book World). Avey Johnson—a black, middle-aged, middle-class widow given to hats, gloves, and pearls—has long since put behind her the Harlem of her childhood. Then on a cruise to the Caribbean with two friends, inspired by a troubling dream, she senses her life beginning to unravel—and in a panic packs her bag in the middle of the night and abandons her friends at the next port of call. The unexpected and beautiful adventure that follows provides Avey with the links to the culture and history she has so long disavowed. “Astonishingly moving.”—Anne Tyler, The New York Times Book Review
