AbstractThis paper deploys an Andean case to suggest that Latin America's nineteenth‐century histories may usefully intervene in contemporary discussions of colonialism and the postcolonial. Such an intervention potentially pluralizes the ‘abstract singularity’ or ‘universal historicism’ of much contemporary postcolonial discourse produced from diasporic‐metropolitan, South Asianist. and Africanist perspectives. The proposed move also brings history, particularly history thought from the predicament or location of subaltern Latin America, to the center of post‐universal discussions that link postcolonialities to subaltern(ist)

摘要:

AbstractThe primary focus of this article is on the wartime (1939–1945) necessity of the British Army intervening into the personal lives of soldiers in order to maximise military effectiveness. Analysis of administrative discourse on masculinity suggests that the Army was only too well aware of the fact that men approximated the exemplary masculinity of the combat soldier to greatly varying degrees and that, in practice the Army worked not only to achieve a division of labour among servicemen which reflected a range of military masculinities, but also to find a means of dealing with the fears and anxieties of all men which often centred on death or marital infidelity. It suggests that the necessity of such state intervention into the private lives of soldiers was contingent on men's emotional investment in the both the gender order and the particular relations of trust which bound them to i

摘要:

AbstractThis essay reports an historical and sociological journey through family memories to the battlefield of World War I. It follows the short military career of a working class lad through the Territorial Army (Northumberland Fusiliers) to his death on the Ypres Salient in 1915. It builds on the bridges of memory, soldiers’ diaries, and newspaper reports to link the past to the present and explore the logic of war from the point of view of the ordinary soldier. The method employed generates new questions about World War I and is an accessible one for non‐specialists to use to organise their own journeys to the p

摘要:

AbstractDominant analyses of the generative conditions and the particular forms assumed by ‘Englishness’ in the late nineteenth century continue to territorialise its formation within the metropole. This paper seeks to challenge the reified binary topography of metropole/periphery by situating dominant articulations of ‘Englishness’ within the territorial and discursive ground of colonial South Asia. A recognition of the broader, asymmetrically structured field of imperial social relations, I argue, requires a reconceptualization of ‘Englishness’ as an imperial formation. Through a critical analysis of the official historiography on the mutiny, the spatial and discursive practices of mutiny tours, and their constitutive role in shaping the identity of tourists, this paper attempts to show the intersections between ‘Englishness’, Eng

摘要:

AbstractDuring the post‐independence period, North American authors of travel narratives engaged in a double construction of “South America”: the othering typical of other travel narratives and the ordering of the diversity of the region's societies, economies and polities according to gender, racial, and class categories. Describing social and institutional landscapes, authors projected preoccupations common to the expansive cultures of North America into “South America.” Unable to homogenize the Other or naturalize the landscape, travellers used the space of the narrative to reflect upon the nature and future of
