Abstract

After the First World War, Britain faced a number of challenges as it sought to adapt to domestic conditions of mass democracy whilst maintaining its position in the empire in the face of national independence movements. As politicians at home and abroad sought to legitimise their position, new efforts were made to conceptualise nationality and citizenship, with attempts to engage the public using mass media and greater emphasis on governing in the public interest. Brave New World reappraises the domestic and imperial history of Britain in the inter-war period, investigating how ‘nation building’ was given renewed impetus by the upheavals of the First World War. The essays in this collection address how new technologies and approaches to governance were used to forge new national identities both at home and in the empire, covering a wide range of issues from the representation of empire on film to the convergence of politics and ‘star culture’.

Abstract

El volumen hace alusión a las independencias iberoamericanas en el subtítulo porque son ellas las que marcan un hito en las visiones que las élites regionales lanzan sobre el pasado con vistas al futuro, pero en una operación que busca cimentar su poder en el presente. Ellas, las guerras de independencia y los procesos inmediatos que les siguen, son el punto de partida de la "historia nacional" y la relación de esa historia nueva con el pasado colonial será en muchos casos, como sabemos, materia prima de la disputa entre liberales y conservadores. Se trata de "estabilizar" el pasado, de "fijarlo" de una vez por todas de acuerdo con determinada posición al interior de la sociedad y del Estado.

Abstract

Este trabajo es un intento de bosquejar un análisis comparativo de ciertos complejos sociales especificos que, pese a haber atraído mucho la atención de ideólogos sociales políticos, no han sido hasta ahora investigados en forma completa y objetiva por estudiosos de las ciencias sociales. Este trabajo es el primer intento de resumir los resultados de una investigación desarrollada por el autor, con la cooperación de colaboradores y discípulos a lo largo de muchos años en Europa y Estados Unidos.

Abstract

With examples ranging from Canada and the United States to South Africa and Western and Eastern European States and regions, 'Nationalism and the Multination State' shows why nationalism is in fact a fundamental facet of modernity, which must be dealt with as such by states vulnerable to breakup.

Abstract

In Ornamental Nationalism: Archaeology and Antiquities in Mexico, 1876-1911 , Seonaid Valiant examines the Porfirian government’s reworking of indigenous, particularly Aztec, images to create national symbols. She focuses in particular on the career of Mexico's first national archaeologist, Inspector General Leopoldo Batres. He was a controversial figure who was accused of selling artifacts and damaging sites through professional incompetence by his enemies, but who also played a crucial role in establishing Mexican control over the nation's archaeological heritage. Exploring debates between Batres and his rivals such as the anthropologists Zelia Nuttall and Marshall Saville, Valiant reveals how Porfirian politicians reinscribed the political meaning of artifacts while social scientists, both domestic and international, struggled to establish standards for Mexican archaeology that would undermine such endeavors.

Abstract

"In this essay from 1614 the Neo-Latin poet, translator, and commentator John Barclay describes the manners and mores of his European contemporaries. He derives the sources of an individual's peculiarities of behavior and temperament from the 'genius' - the individual character created by each person's upbringing, time of life, and profession. Barclay likewise describes each nation's genius, its national character, and provides some of the geographical and historical background from which he claims this genius arose. The essay is a valuable study, not only for the illustration it offers of a pre-Romantic view of Europe, but for a glimpse into the continuities that mark European civilization. The introduction describes the Classical and Renaissance background to Barclay's work, with a detailed biography of the author. The Latin text reproduces Barclay's first edition, with the necessary corrections. The English translation (1631) is that of Thomas May, a skillful translator of Vergil, Lucan, and other classical authors"-- Publisher description.
