(Dis)Placing Empire Renegotiating British Colonial Geographies

(Dis)Placing Empire Renegotiating British Colonial Geographies

While there has been for the past two decades a lively and extensive academic debate about postcolonial representations of imperialism and colonialism there has been little work which focuses on 'placed' materialist or critical geographical perspectives. The contributors to this volume offer such a perspective asserting the inadequacy of conventional 'self/other' binaries in postcolonial analysis which fail to recognise the complex ways in which space and place were implicated in constructing the individual experience of Empire. Illustrated with case studies of British colonialism in Australia Hong Kong India Ireland and New Zealand in the later nineteenth and twentieth centuries the book uncovers the complex and unstable spaces of meaning which were central to the experience of emigrants settlers expatriates and indigenous peoples at different time/place moments under British rule. In critically examining place and hybridity within a discursive context (Dis)placing Empire offers new insights into the practice of Empire. | (Dis)Placing Empire Renegotiating British Colonial Geographies

Postcolonial Film History Empire Resistance

Postcolonial Film History Empire Resistance

Postcolonial Film: History Empire Resistance examines films of the later twentieth and early twenty-first centuries from postcolonial countries around the globe. In the mid twentieth century the political reality of resistance and decolonization lead to the creation of dozens of new states forming a backdrop to films of that period. Towards the century’s end and at the dawn of the new millennium film continues to form a site for interrogating colonization and decolonization though against a backdrop that is now more neo-colonial than colonial and more culturally imperial than imperial. This volume explores how individual films emerged from and commented on postcolonial spaces and the building and breaking down of the European empire. Each chapter is a case study examining how a particular film from a postcolonial nation emerges from and reflects that nation’s unique postcolonial situation. This analysis of one nation’s struggle with its coloniality allows each essay to investigate just what it means to be postcolonial. | Postcolonial Film History Empire Resistance

Magic Science and Empire in Postcolonial Literature The Alchemical Literary Imagination

Magic Science and Empire in Postcolonial Literature The Alchemical Literary Imagination

This book examines the ways in which contemporary British and British postcolonial writers in the after-empire era draw connections between magic (defined here as Renaissance Hermetic philosophy) and science. Writers such as Tom Stoppard Zadie Smith and Margaret Atwood critique both imperial science or science used in service to empire and what Renk calls imperical science a distortion of rational science which denies that reality is holistic and claims that nature can and should be conquered. In warning of the dangers of imperical science these writers restore the connection between magic and science as they examine major shifts in scientific thinking across the centuries. They reflect on the Copernican Revolution and the historic split between magic and science scrutinize Darwinism consider the relationship between Victorian science and pseudo-science analyze twentieth-century Uncertainty theories reject bio/genetic engineering call for a new approach to science that reconnects science and art and ultimately endeavor to bring an end to the imperial age. Overall these writers forge a new discourse that merges science with the arts and emphasizes a holistic philosophy a view shared by both Hermetic philosophy and recent scientific theories such as chaos or complexity theory. Along with recent books that focus on the relationship between contemporary literature and science this work focuses on contemporary British literature’s critique of science and the ways in which postcolonial literature addresses the relationship between magic science and empire. | Magic Science and Empire in Postcolonial Literature The Alchemical Literary Imagination

Studies in Kurdish History Empire Ethnicity and Identity

Studies in Kurdish History Empire Ethnicity and Identity

Recent events in the Middle East have propelled the once marginalized Kurdish community to the centre of regional and indeed world affairs. The growing significance of the Kurds in the politics of the Middle East has led to greater interest amongst both academics and policy makers regarding the community’s culture politics and history. This current volume seeks to address this growing interest by presenting a selection of articles from leading experts on the history of the Kurds. These articles scrutinize a variety of subjects which provide important context to today’s Kurdish question. It includes contributions which contextualize the evolution of a distinctive Kurdish identity and culture. Furthermore it includes works which seek to examine the impact of the gradual transformation of state power in the Middle East – more precisely the breakdown of imperial orders and the concurrent emergence of the modern nation-state – on the relationship between the Kurds and the central governments under which they lived during the nineteenth and early twentieth century. In doing so this volume will be of interest to all those wishing to gain a deeper historical understanding of present day Kurdish affairs.

State-Nationalisms in the Ottoman Empire Greece and Turkey Orthodox and Muslims 1830-1945

Making extensive use of new archival material this volume transcends the tendency to compare the Greek-Orthodox in Turkey and the Muslims in Greece separately and through a comparison of the policies of the host states and the operation of the political religious and social institutions of minorities demonstrates common patterns and discrepancies between the two countries that have previously received little attention. A collaboration between Greek and Turkish scholars with broad ranging research interests this book benefits from an international and balanced perspective and will be an indispensable aid to students and scholars alike. | State-Nationalisms in the Ottoman Empire Greece and Turkey Orthodox and Muslims 1830-1945

The British World and the Five Rings Essays in British Imperialism and the Modern Olympic Movement

The British World and the Five Rings Essays in British Imperialism and the Modern Olympic Movement

Prior to the outbreak of World War II the British presided over the largest Empire in world history a vast transoceanic and transcontinental realm of dominions colonies protectorates and mandates that covered over one-quarter of the world’s land mass and comprised a population of over 450-million subjects. Spanning Europe the Americas Africa Asia and Oceania over fifty modern nations—currently recognized by the International Olympic Committee—were governed and controlled by the British crown at some stage prior to the gradual dissolution of the Empire. The British World and the Five Rings seeks to explore the relationship between the former British Empire and the Olympic Movement. It pays due regard to the settler dominions but it also addresses those territories who were less willing partners in the British imperial project. In doing so the tendency of so-called ‘British World’ histories to promote an apologia for Empire is rejected in favour of a critical approach to imperialism. Combining thorough research with engaging and accessible writing The British World and the Five Rings is applicable to many fields of Olympic scholarship making it a central work in the growing field of sports studies. This book was published as a special issue of Sport in Society. | The British World and the Five Rings Essays in British Imperialism and the Modern Olympic Movement

Studies on Ottoman Society and Culture 16th–18th Centuries

Studies on Ottoman Society and Culture 16th–18th Centuries

The studies presented in this collection are concerned most particularly with the material conditions of life in the mature Ottoman state of the 16th-18th centuries. They range from the evaluation of sources of livelihood and conditions in the workplace on the one hand to notions of domesticity and organization of the private sphere on the other and deal with the provinces in both the Balkans and in Asia as much as with Istanbul. At the same time the volume aims to illuminate Ottoman imperial institutional forms and norms as they existed in the high imperial era before the rapid change and transformation associated with late imperial times when the empire was more exposed both to global economic forces and external political pressures. This concentration on the relatively stable conditions that prevailed in the empire throughout the bulk of the early modern era (ca. 1450-ca. 1750) provides the reader with an opportunity to assess Ottoman institutional development and observe social and economic organization in their relatively 'pure' state before the double impact of industrialization and increasing Westernization in the late nineteenth century. | Studies on Ottoman Society and Culture 16th–18th Centuries

Cinema Transnationalism and Colonial India Entertaining the Raj

Cinema Transnationalism and Colonial India Entertaining the Raj

Through the lens of cinema this book explores the ways in which the United States Britain and India impacted each other politically culturally and ideologically. It argues that American films of the 1920s posited alternative notions of whiteness and the West to that of Britain which stood for democracy and social mobility even at a time of virulent racism. The book examines the impact that the American cinema has on Indian filmmakers of the period who were integrating its conventions with indigenous artistic traditions to articulate an Indian modernity. It considers the way American films in the 1920s presented an orientalist fantasy of Asia which occluded the harsh realities of anti-Asian sentiment and legislation in the period as well as the exciting engagement of anti-imperial activists who sought to use the United States as the base of a transnational network. The book goes on to analyse the American ‘empire films’ of the 1930s which adapted British narratives of empire to represent the United States as a new global paradigm. Presenting close readings of films literature and art from the era the book engages cinema studies with theories of post-colonialism and transnationalism and provides a novel approach to the study of Indian cinema. | Cinema Transnationalism and Colonial India Entertaining the Raj

Rome and the Classic Maya Comparing the Slow Collapse of Civilizations

Rome and the Classic Maya Comparing the Slow Collapse of Civilizations

This volume compares two of the most famous cases of civilizational collapse that of the Roman Empire and the Classic Maya world.

Detailing the relevant economic political social and environmental factors behind these notable falls Rome and the Classic Maya contends that a phenomenon of “slow collapse” has repeatedly occurred in the course of human history: complex civilizations are shown to eventually come to an end and give way to new cultures. Through their analysis of these two ancient case studies the authors also present intriguing parallels to the modern world and offer potential lessons for the future. | Rome and the Classic Maya Comparing the Slow Collapse of Civilizations

The North Atlantic Frontier of Medieval Europe Vikings and Celts

The North Atlantic Frontier of Medieval Europe Vikings and Celts

Discussion of medieval European expansion tends to focus on expansion eastward and the crusades. The selection of studies reprinted here however focuses on the other end of Eurasia where dwelled the warlike Celts and beyond whom lay the north seas and the awesome Atlantic Ocean formidable obstacles to expansion westward. This volume looks first at the legacy of the Viking expansion which had briefly created a network stretching across the sea from Britain and Ireland to North America and had demonstrated that the Atlantic could be crossed and land reached. The next sections deal with the English expansion in the western and northern British Isles. In the 12th century the Normans began the process of subjugating the Celts thus inaugurating for the English an experience which was to prove crucial when colonizing the Americas in the 17th century. Medieval Ireland in particular served as a laboratory for the development of imperial institutions attitudes and ideologies that shaped the creation of the British Empire and served as a staging area for further expansion westward. | The North Atlantic Frontier of Medieval Europe Vikings and Celts

Fatimid History and Ismaili Doctrine

Fatimid History and Ismaili Doctrine

The thirteen studies in this volume explore critical problems in Fatimid history and historiography many specifically focused on the content of doctrinal writings produced by the Ismaili supporters and agents of this caliphate who worked on behalf of the dynasty both within the empire and outside. Several concern issues in disputes that separated the various factions of Medieval Islam and served to distinguish the Ismailis from the rest often branding the Fatimids with the charge of heterodoxy. Others deal with the consequence of Shiite rule over a largely non-Shiite populace. Yet others involve the relationship between religious ideology and the administration of government. Among the themes featured in this collection there are separate investigations of institutions of learning of succession to the imamate the da`wa the judiciary relations with the Byzantines and with the Abbasids and works on heresiography doctrines of time and the accusation that the Ismailis upheld the metempsychosis of the human soul. The latter topics help to situate the Ismailis and hence the Fatimids within the broader context of Islamic thought. | Fatimid History and Ismaili Doctrine

India's Kathak Dance in Historical Perspective

India's Kathak Dance in Historical Perspective

Kathak the classical dance of North India combines virtuosic footwork and dazzling spins with subtle pantomime and soft gestures. As a global practice and one of India's cultural markers kathak dance is often presented as heir to an ancient Hindu devotional tradition in which men called Kathakas danced and told stories in temples. The dance's repertoire and movement vocabulary however tell a different story of syncretic origins and hybrid history - it is a dance that is both Muslim and Hindu both devotional and entertaining and both male and female. Kathak's multiple roots can be found in rural theatre embodied rhythmic repertoire and courtesan performance practice and its history is inextricable from the history of empire colonialism and independence in India. Through an analysis both broad and deep of primary and secondary sources ethnography iconography and current performance practice Margaret Walker undertakes a critical approach to the history of kathak dance and presents new data about hereditary performing artists gendered contexts and practices and postcolonial cultural reclamation. The account that emerges places kathak and the Kathaks firmly into the living context of North Indian performing arts. | India's Kathak Dance in Historical Perspective

The Ashgate Research Companion to Byzantine Hagiography Volume II: Genres and Contexts

The Ashgate Research Companion to Byzantine Hagiography Volume II: Genres and Contexts

For an entire millennium Byzantine hagiography inspired by the veneration of many saints exhibited literary dynamism and a capacity to vary its basic forms. The subgenres into which it branched out after its remarkable start in the fourth century underwent alternating phases of development and decline that were intertwined with changes in the political social and literary spheres. The selection of saintly heroes an interest in depicting social landscapes and the modulation of linguistic and stylistic registers captured the voice of homo byzantinus down to the end of the empire in the fifteenth century. The seventeen chapters in this companion form the sequel to those in volume I which dealt with the periods and regions of Byzantine hagiography and complete the first comprehensive survey ever produced in this field. The book is the work of an international group of experts in the field and is addressed to both a broader public and the scholarly community of Byzantinists medievalists historians of religion and theorists of narrative. It highlights the literary dimension and the research potential of a representative number of texts not only those appreciated by the Byzantines themselves but those which modern readers rank high due to their literary quality or historical relevance. | The Ashgate Research Companion to Byzantine Hagiography Volume II: Genres and Contexts
