AbstractWhy is India treated as the standing menace to the public health of the world? Is it something peculiar to Indian tradition which prevents India from enjoying the fruits of universal modernity? Or perhaps, is it the emergence of institutions and of other politically organized subjections in a history of colonialism which endowed India with a brand of colonial modernity? By using the cholera epidemic of 1832 and the efforts to rebuild and restructure everyday life in Europe and in India, this essay attempts to answer such questions. It is in the aftermath of the epidemic that various ideological positions are clarified, with the result that bourgeois culture demonstrates its limit in colonialism.

摘要:

AbstractGender is a useful category for historical analysis of the project of Italian fascist nation‐building, how it proceeded and how it became trapped in its own paradox. Fascist policies played upon normative and limited gender stereotypes of women as mothers and prolific bearers of children, yet in the process the dictatorship constructed women as political subjects for the first time in the history of the Italian nation. This paper focuses on the fascists’ demographics campaign ‐Il Duce'spolitics of proliferation—and investigates the possibility of subjectivity as a site for political struggle and resistance. Practices such ascoitus interruptusand abortion, it is suggested, conformed to one hegemonic process while they defied

摘要:

AbstractNationalisms do not form at the expense of all previous solidarities and identities. Often nationalisms are instead based upon foundations laid by class, ethnicity, gender, or other identities. Nationalists stress identities which reinforce the unity they seek and simultaneously deny those that threaten that unity. An important part of this process consists of singling out foreigners as radically different ‘others.’The national identity constructed in late eighteenth and early nineteenth‐century Guerrero, Mexico, stressed opposition to newly‐defined foreigners and was intertwined with class, ethnic, religious, and political solid

摘要:

AbstractThe modernist theory of the nation is criticised for being unable to explain the existence of the idea of the nation and of national sentiments in the medieval period. By focusing on the central role played by the monarchy in the making of the French state in the Middle Ages it is possible to show the legitimating importance of French language and of French culture in that period. Furthermore, the appearance of the idea of France as an ‘imagined community’, even if it was only shared by a small minority of people, proves that by the end of the Middle Ages there was a clear sense of national ident
