    Placing Empire (2021)
    University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Placing Empire examines the spatial politics of Japanese imperialism through a study of Japanese travel and tourism to Korea, Manchuria, and Taiwan between the late nineteenth century and the early 1950s. In a departure from standard histories of Japan, this book shows how debates over the place of colonized lands reshaped the social and spatial imaginary of the modern Japanese nation. In turn, this sociospatial imaginary affected the ways in which colonial difference was conceptualized and enacted. The book thus illuminates how ideas of place became central to the production of new forms of colonial hierarchy as empires around the globe transitioned from an era of territorial acquisition to one of territorial maintenance.

    Our Unswerving Loyalty (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The story of the Communist Party of Australia has been told in various ways. Until now, however, archival collections that have borne on this story have been relatively inaccessible to the ordinary, interested reader. This book begins to redress that deficiency by bringing together 85 key documents from the Russian State Archives of Social and Political History (RGASPI), selected from a collection of thousands of documents concerning the relations between the Communist International and the Communist Party of Australia. The selection focuses on the relationship between the CPA and the Comintern because the activities of the CPA are essentially incomprehensible without understanding the international communist context within which the CPA operated. That context was dominated by the newly-created Soviet state and its decision to authorize and utilize a network of communist parties throughout the world. The documents in this work suggest three major propositions about the relationship between the CPA and the Comintern. First, that the Comintern was crucial in the formation of the CPA, via its emissaries, instructions and authority. Second, that the Comintern played a major role in directing the policies of the CPA in domestic matters (not to mention in international matters, where the Comintern’s decisions were supreme). And third, that the leadership of the CPA was, from 1929 onwards, shaped, trained and authorized by the Comintern. With access to the documents, readers now have a chance not just to hear the voices of the times, but to make their own judgements about the relationship between the CPA and Moscow. The book also includes two extended introductory essays that outline the development of the Comintern and its relations with the CPA, as well as supporting materials that provide information on individuals, organizations and tactics mentioned within the documents themselves.

    Ginseng and Borderland (2021)
    University of California Press | University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Ginseng and Borderland explores the territorial boundaries and political relations between Qing China and Chosŏn Korea during the period from the early seventeenth to the late nineteenth centuries. By examining a unique body of materials written in Chinese, Manchu, and Korean, and building on recent studies in New Qing History, Seonmin Kim adds new perspectives to current understandings of the remarkable transformation of the Manchu Qing dynasty (1636–1912) from a tribal state to a universal empire. This book discusses early Manchu history and explores the Qing Empire’s policy of controlling Manchuria and Chosŏn Korea. Kim also contributes to the Korean history of the Chosŏn dynasty (1392–1910) by challenging conventional accounts that embrace a China-centered interpretation of the tributary relationship between the two polities, stressing instead the agency of Chosŏn Korea in the formation of the Qing Empire. This study demonstrates how Koreans interpreted and employed this relationship in order to preserve the boundary—and peace—with the suzerain power. By focusing on the historical significance of the China-Korea boundary, this book defines the nature of the Qing Empire through the dynamics of contacts and conflicts under both the cultural and material frameworks of its tributary relationship with Chosŏn Korea.

    New Directions for Law in Australia (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: For reasons of effectiveness, efficiency and equity, Australian law reform should be planned carefully. Academics can and should take the lead in this process. This book collects over 50 discrete law reform recommendations, encapsulated in short, digestible essays written by leading Australian scholars. It emerges from a major conference held at The Australian National University in 2016, which featured intensive discussion among participants from government, practice and the academy. The book is intended to serve as a national focal point for Australian legal innovation. It is divided into six main parts: commercial and corporate law, criminal law and evidence, environmental law, private law, public law, and legal practice and legal education. In addition, Indigenous perspectives on law reform are embedded throughout each part. This collective work—the first of its kind—will be of value to policy makers, media, law reform agencies, academics, practitioners and the judiciary. It provides a bird’s eye view of the current state and the future of law reform in Australia.

    Designing Governance Structures for Performance and Accountability (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Designing Governance Structures for Performance and Accountability discusses how formal and informal governance structures in Australia, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan may be designed to promote performance and to ensure accountability. The book presents a selection of papers developed from the Greater China Australia Dialogue on Public Administration’s seventh workshop held in June 2017 hosted by City University of Hong Kong. Insights are provided on both current developments in the different contexts of the three jurisdictions examined, and on broader institutional and organisational theories. Chapters cover theories of organisational forms and functions in public administration, the ‘core’ agency structures used in the different jurisdictions, the structures used to deliver public services (including non-government organisational arrangements) and other ‘non-core’ agency structures such as government business enterprises, regulatory organisations and ‘integrity’ organisations. A particular emphasis is placed on the institutional arrangements the executive arm of government uses for advising on and implementing government policies and programs. Although the book explores arrangements and developments within very different political governance systems, the purposes of the structures are similar: to promote performance and accountability. This book is a companion volume to Value for Money: Budget and Financial Management Reform in the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan and Australia (ANU Press, 2018).

    Afghanistan’s Islam: From Conversion to the Taliban (2021)
    University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This book provides the first overview of the history and development of Islam in Afghanistan. Written by leading international experts, chapters cover every era from the conversion of Afghanistan through the medieval period to the present day. Based on primary sources in Arabic, Persian, Pashto, Uzbek, and Urdu, its depth of coverage is unrivalled in providing a developmental picture of Afghanistan’s Islam, including such issues as the rise of Sufism, women’s religiosity, state religious policies, and transnational Islamism. Looking beyond the unifying rhetoric of theology, the book reveals the disparate and contested forms of Afghanistan’s Islam.

    Bridging Australia and Japan Volume 2 (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: This book is volume two of the writings of David Sissons, who first established his academic career as a political scientist specialising in Japanese politics, and later shifted his focus to the history of Australia–Japan relations. In this volume, we reproduce his writings on Japanese politics, the Pacific War and Australian war crimes trials after the war. He was a pioneer in these fields, carrying out research across cultural and language borders, and influenced numerous researchers who followed in his footsteps. Much of what he wrote, however, remained unpublished at the time of his death in 2006, and so the editors have included a selection of his hitherto unpublished work along with some of his published writings.

    The Pitfalls of Protection (2021)
    University of California Press | University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Since the 2001 overthrow of the Taliban government in Afghanistan, violence against women has emerged as the single most important issue for Afghan gender politics. The Pitfalls of Protection, based on research conducted in Afghanistan between 2009 and 2015, locates the struggles over gender violence in local and global power configurations. Torunn Wimpelmann finds that aid flows and geopolitics have served as both opportunities for and obstacles to feminist politics in Afghanistan. Showing why Afghan activists often chose to use the leverage of Western powers instead of entering into either protracted negotiations with powerful national actors or broad political mobilization, this book examines both the achievements and the limits of this strategy.

    L’idée d’université (2022)
    Presses universitaires du Septentrion
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: « Ce livre devenu un classique », selon Owen Chadwick, comprend deux parties dont seule la seconde est traduite ici, la première ayant déjà fait l’objet d’une traduction en 1968. John Henry Newman, nommé recteur fondateur, en 1851, d’une université catholique à Dublin, réfléchit aux objectifs d’une telle institution. Il met au premier plan la formation de l’esprit tout autant que l’acquisition du savoir afin de parvenir à une véritable culture humaniste. Il traite des rapports entre raison et foi, science et théologie, il insiste sur les liens qui unissent langue et littérature, il aborde les problèmes d’éthique médicale ; il préconise une recherche libre de tout préjugé mais éclairée par une pensée chrétienne qui a assimilé la culture antique. Cependant il n’ignore pas les applications pratiques qu’entraîne une telle création. Un ensemble de facultés, complémentaires les unes des autres, devra se développer à partir du noyau initial qu’est la Faculté des Arts et des Lettres, élément essentiel de tout enseignement universitaire. Celui-ci sera ainsi vivifié par la recherche et maintiendra le rapport d’un savoir particulier à une connaissance plus générale. À notre époque où l’Université s’interroge sur sa raison d’être, l’idéal exigeant de Newman reste tout à fait d’actualité.

    Hommes de Dieu et fonctionnaires du roi en Gaule du Nord du Ve au IXe siècle (348-817) (2022)
    Presses universitaires du Septentrion
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Cette étude sur le clergé mérovingien et carolingien, envisagée dans ses rapports avec le pouvoir politique et dans son activité pastorale, est saisie dans une perspective évolutive pour faire ressortir les changements et les différences selon les temps et les lieux. L’auteur, a dû embrasser une documentation énorme et pulvérisée : les listes épiscopales ou abbatiales, les canons des conciles, les capitulaires, les vies des saints lorsqu’elles existent et il a réussi de la sorte à dégager des constatations nouvelles, apportant une image vivante, diversifiée et contrastée du monde ecclésiastique à l’époque franque. On savait déjà que ce monde n’était pas statique et homogène, mais on ne le savait pas avec une telle précision. Durant cinq siècles, le clergé fut en quête de son identité : fonctionnaire public ou homme de Dieu. Ainsi se juxtaposent un Martin qui récuse les dotations fiscales de l’État et un Rémi qui les sollicite, des clercs mondains attachés à leurs privilèges et des évêques, inspirés par Lérins qui procèdent à une conversion des mœurs avant d’entrer en charge, enfin des prélats aristocrates, ayant un sens aigu du devoir et du droit pour servir de médiateur auprès de Dieu et du prince et des clercs simoniaques, devenus les serviles vassaux des clans aristocratiques. Le baptême de Clovis avait laissé espérer une docilité du pouvoir aux conseils de l’épiscopat, le concile d’Orléans de 511 plaça le clergé sous la coupe royale. Les revenus des diocèses destinés aux œuvres de paix furent affectés pour la guerre et les synodes se transformèrent en tribunaux politiques. Grégoire-le-Grand et les moines luxoviens dénoncèrent ces vices et affirmèrent une spécificité et une qualité du clergé par un costume et un mode de vie. Boniface dénonça les falsipiscopi violents et prévaricateurs puis Chrodegang fit du clergé l’organisateur de la liturgie impériale et des grandes cérémonies expiatoires pour le salut de l’empire carolingien. Le bilan dressé en 811 par Charlemagne, de fonctionnaires corrompus et de médiocres pasteurs, n’est guère flatteur. Cette vision cache l’action en profondeur des prélats gallo-romains, du Liber Pastoralis et des irlandais pour faire du clerc un vitae evangelicae imitator et non pas un simple intendant des grands susceptible de s’engager contre les unions incestueuses et prônant le repos dominical. Par ailleurs, la prolixité liturgique d’inspiration orientale s’uniformisa sur le modèle romain pour mieux répondre et encadrer une religiosité populaire exubérante envers les reliques et le culte des saints. Le clergé parvint ainsi à s’imposer dans la société au prix d’une exigence morale interne considérable inspirée par le courant monastique et d’une soumission progressive des pêcheurs à une pénitence non moins rigoureuse.

    Aspects of Kinship in Ancient Iran (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Originally delivered in 2020 as the Biennial Ehsan Yarshater Lectures, Aspects of Kinship in Ancient Iran is an exploration of kinship in the archaeological and historical record of Iran’s most ancient civilizations. D. T. Potts brings together history, archaeology, and social anthropology to provide an overview of what we can know about the kith and kinship ties in Iran, from prehistory to Elamite, Achaemenid, and Sasanian times. In so doing, he sheds light on the rich body of evidence that exists for kin relations in Iran, a topic that has too often been ignored in the study of the ancient world. “As always with this excellent authority on ancient Iranian history and cultures, D. T. Potts presents five highly innovative essays on forms of kinship and social organization in ancient Iran from the Elamites to the Sasanians that are full of new ideas and suggestions for further research.” — Josef Wiesehöfer, Professor Emeritus of Ancient History and Classics, University of Kiel, and author of Ancient Persia: From 550 BC to 650 AD

    Social cost-benefit analysis in Australia and New Zealand. The state of current practice and what needs to be done (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: All is not well with the evaluation of government programs and projects. Resources available to any society are limited. If governments are to increase the well-being of their citizens, they must be able to select and implement the socially most beneficial projects and policies. But many government agencies lack the expertise to carry out a cost-benefit analysis, or even to commission one. Commercial consultants, on the other hand, often have some analytical expertise, but are not immune from adopting approaches that accommodate the proclivities of their client agencies. In order to increase analytical rigour and methodological consistency, this publication urges the adoption of a ‘belts and braces’ set of protocols for use in project evaluation.

    Producing Feminism (2024)
    University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: In this archivally informed work, Jennifer S. Clark explores the multiple ways in which the feminist priorities of the 1970s were strengthened by women who labored in the American television industry. Carefully synthesizing an array of interviews and primary sources—from television network memos to programming schedules, production notes to executive meeting agendas—Clark tells the story of how women organized in the workplace to form collectives, affect production labor, and develop reform‑oriented policies and philosophies that reshaped television behind the screen. She urges us to consider how interventions, often at localized levels, can collectively shift the dynamics of media workplaces and the cultural products created therein. “A terrific model of feminist media historiography. Jennifer Clark expands our understanding of 1970s American television, the women’s liberation movement, and the deep connections among gender, labor, and activism while innovating new strategies to examine the media industries.” — Elana Levine, author of Her Stories: Daytime Soap Opera and US Television History “A massively important and enlightening contribution to the field, offering a nuanced treatment of industry cooperation and compromise. Clark uses rare archival findings and a wide range of cultural objects and case studies to generate fresh, bold conclusions around second-wave feminism and American television.” — Annie Berke, author of Their Own Best Creations: Women Writers in Postwar Television

From the fascination with all things Japanese in the late nineteenth century, through the era of ‘White Australia’, the bitter enmity of the Pacific War, the path to reconciliation in the post-war period and the culturally complicated bilateralism of today, Australians have used their cameras to express a divided sense of conflict and kinship with a country that has by turns fascinated and infuriated. The remarkable photographs collected and discussed here for the first time shed new light on the history of Australia’s engagement with its most important regional partner. Pacific Exposures argues that photographs tell an important story of cultural production, response and reaction—not only about how Australians have pictured Japan over the decades, but how they see their own place in the Asia-Pacific. ‘Pacific Exposures presents the first study of the photographic exchanges between Australia and Japan—its photographers, personalities, motivations, anxieties and tensions—based on a diverse range of archival materials, interviews, and well-chosen photographs.’ — Dr Luke Gartlan, University of St Andrews ‘[Pacific Exposures] will become a key text on Australia’s interactions with Japan, and the way that photographs can inform cross-cultural relations through their production, consumption and circulation.’ — Prof. Kate Darian-Smith, University of Tasmania"

    De Renan à Marrou (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Ce livre propose une réflexion sur les relations entre l’histoire du christianisme saisie dans ses origines et les progrès de la méthode historique au cours d’un siècle (1863-1968) ; il contient un hommage à la mémoire d’un éminent historien, Henri-Irénée Marrou, maître inégalé dans les domaines de l’Antiquité tardive et de la méthodologie del’histoire, à l’occasion du xxe anniversaire de sa disparition. Après une réflexion initiale d’Emile Poulat sur la lecture de la Bible, les progrès de la méthode historique appliqués àl’exégèse sont suivis depuis Renan jusqu’au modernismereprésenté ici par Harnack, Loisy et Guignebert. La critique de l’historicisme par Maurice Blondel annonce la sortie du modernisme marquée par les réflexions et les travaux de Raymond Aron et d’Henri-Irénée Marrou dont l’ouvrage De la connaissance historique permet une approche renouvelée de l’histoire des origines du christianisme. Enfin le grand essai d’Henri-Irénée Marrou sur une Théologie de l’Histoire inspirée de saint Augustin et de la culture contemporaine, qui se trouve commenté ici parAndré Mandouze, illustre bien le génie d’un homme quiétait à la fois historien, musicologue, philosophe et théologien.

    The Hegemony of Heritage (2021)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The Hegemony of Heritage makes an original and significant contribution to our understanding of how the relationship of architectural objects and societies to the built environment changes over time. Studying two surviving medieval monuments in southern Rajasthan—the Ambikā Temple in Jagat and the Śri Ékliṅgjī Temple Complex in Kailāshpurī—the author looks beyond their divergent sectarian affiliations and patronage structures to underscore many aspects of common practice. This book offers new and extremely valuable insights into these important monuments, illuminating the entangled politics of antiquity and revealing whether a monument’s ritual record is affirmed as continuous and hence hoary or dismissed as discontinuous or reinvented through various strategies. The Hegemony of Heritage enriches theoretical constructs with ethnographic description and asks us to reexamine notions such as archive and text through the filter of sculpture and mantra.

    Description: This book, the 17th in the federal election series and the ninth sponsored by the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, provides a comprehensive account of the 2019 Australian election, which resulted in the surprise victory of the Coalition under Scott Morrison. It brings together 36 contributors who analyse voter behaviour, campaign strategies, regional variations, polling, ideology, media and the new importance of memes and digital campaigning. Morrison’s victory underlined the continuing trend toward the personalisation of politics and the loss of trust in political institutions, both in Australia and across western democracies. Morrison’s Miracle is indispensable for understanding the May 2019 Coalition victory, which surprised many observers and confounded pollsters and political pundits.

    First Contacts in Polynesia (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This book explores the first encounters between Samoans and Europeans up to the arrival of the missionaries, using all available sources for the years 1722 to the 1830s, paying special attention to the first encounter on land with the Lapérouse expedition. Many of the sources used are French, and some of difficult accessibility, and thus they have not previously been thoroughly examined by historians. Adding some Polynesian comparisons from beyond Samoa, and reconsidering the so-called ‘Sahlins-Obeyesekere debate’ about the fate of Captain Cook, ‘First Contacts’ in Polynesia advances a hypothesis about the contemporary interpretations made by the Polynesians of the nature of the Europeans, and about the actions that the Polynesians devised for this encounter: wrapping Europeans up in ‘cloth’ and presenting ‘young girls’ for ‘sexual contact’. It also discusses how we can go back two centuries and attempt to reconstitute, even if only partially, the point of view of those who had to discover for themselves these Europeans whom they call ‘Papalagi’. The book also contributes an additional dimension to the much-touted ‘Mead-Freeman debate’ which bears on the rules and values regulating adolescent sexuality in ‘Samoan culture’. Scholars have long considered the pre-missionary times as a period in which freedom in sexuality for adolescents predominated. It appears now that this erroneous view emerged from a deep misinterpretation of Lapérouse’s and Dumont d’Urville’s narratives.

    Almost Hollywood, Nearly New Orleans: The Lure of the Local Film Economy (2021)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Early in the twenty-first century, Louisiana, one of the poorest states in the United States, redirected millions in tax dollars from the public coffers in an effort to become the top location site globally for the production of Hollywood films and television series. Why would lawmakers support such a policy? Why would citizens accept the policyâ s uncomfortable effects on their economy and culture? Almost Hollywood, Nearly New Orleans addresses these questions through a study of the local and everyday experiences of the film economy in New Orleans, Louisianaâ a city that has twice taken the mantle of becoming a movie production capital. From the silent era to todayâ s Hollywood South, Vicki Mayer explains that the aura of a film economy is inseparable from a prevailing sense of home, even as it changes that place irrevocably.

    Lettres à Charles Maurras (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Creusant les racines du genre épistolaire, ce recueil commenté de quelques quatre-vingt lettres adressées à Charles Maurras par ses amis : des figures tutélaires de l’Action française (Jacques Bainville, Léon de Montesquiou, Lucien Moreau, Henri Vaugeois), des hommes de confiance (Bernard de Vaulx, l’amiral Antoine Schwerer), des références intellectuelles (Robert Brasillach, Thierry Maulnier) ou des « bras armés » (Maurice Pujo, Georges Calzant, Lucien Lacour, Marius Plateau, Maxime Réal del Sarte), rend compte du comportement et des postures politiques de cohortes générationnelles unies. Marquées par les violences de guerre, imprégnée de valeurs royalistes, nationales, catholiques ou « anti-boches », elles expriment une adhésion sans partage aux idéologies maurrassiennes sous les mots de billets fiévreux ou de longues missives qui témoignent de l’urgente envie d’agir. Ces correspondances respectueuses autant qu’empathiques avec le « Cher Maître », choisies pour l’exploitation directe qu’elles autorisent sur l’intime de chacun et le lien privilégié entretenu avec Maurras, mettent au jour un corpus homogène par la place qu’il réserve à la logique collective qui anime en les soudant groupes, réseaux et cercles de sociabilités. Pour autant, ressortent les spécificités sociales et culturelles de trajectoires individuelles, disjointes parfois dans les écarts de tranches d’âge, restituant pour l’historien la singularité de positionnements politiques mus par l’intransigeance de l’engagement.

    Les boulevards de la fraude (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Incapable de vaincre militairement la Grande-Bretagne sur les mers, Napoléon 1er recourt à la guerre économique sur le continent. Pour ce faire, il envisage une fermeture totale du marché européen aux produits britanniques. Les interdictions commerciales françaises et les mesures de représailles anglaises représentaient une grave menace pour les négociants des villes portuaires de l’Empire napoléonien. Par conséquent, ceux-ci s’efforcent de contrecarrer la législation prohibitive du Blocus continental par tous les moyens possibles. L’analyse des réactions du négoce de Bordeaux, Hambourg et Livourne démontre que le recours aux navires neutres, la déviation des routes commerciales, la corruption et la contrebande sont des armes puissantes qui rendent largement inefficaces les tentatives du régime d’interdire les relations commerciales entre la Grande-Bretagne et l’Europe. L’étude comparée des trois villes permet de constater que cette incapacité du régime napoléonien à appliquer efficacement sa politique commerciale n’est pas une défaillance locale, occasionnelle, due à une conjoncture particulière, mais plutôt une donnée structurelle qui s’explique par des faiblesses internes à toute son administration, et par l’existence de cet adversaire redoutable qu’est le négoce, avec ses intérêts souvent opposés à ceux du régime, et dont les logiques et les horizons internationaux ne pouvaient pas se plier à une optique nationale et étatique.

    Journeys into the Rainforest (Terra Australis 43) (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: This monograph presents the results of archaeological research that takes a longitudinal approach to interpreting and understanding Aboriginal–European contact. It focuses on a small but unique area of tropical rainforest in far north Queensland’s Wet Tropics Bioregion, located within the traditional lands of the Jirrbal Aboriginal people on the Evelyn Tableland. The research integrates a diverse range of data sources: archaeological evidence recovered from Aboriginal open sites occupied in the pre- to post-contact periods, historical documents of early ethnographers, settlers and explorers in the region, supplemented with Aboriginal oral history testimony. Analyses of the archaeological evidence excavated from three open sites facilitated the identification of the trajectories of culture change and continuity that this investigation focused on: Aboriginal rainforest material culture and technology, plant subsistence strategies, and rainforest settlement patterns. Analyses of the data sets demonstrate that initial use of the rainforest environment on the Evelyn Tableland occurred during the early Holocene period, with successful adaptation and a change towards more permanent Aboriginal use of the rainforest becoming established in the late Holocene period. European arrival and settlement on traditional Aboriginal land resulted in a period of historical upheaval for the Aboriginal rainforest people. Following an initial period of violent interactions and strong Aboriginal resistance from the rainforest, Jirrbal Aboriginal people continued to adapt and transform their traditional culture to accommodate for the many changes forced upon them throughout the post‑contact period.

    Calais et la mer (1814-1914) (2022)
    Presses universitaires du Septentrion
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: L’ouvrage est la version abrégée d’une thèse de doctorat d’histoire dont le projet de recherche était de contribuer à l’histoire maritime du xixe siècle à partir de l’observatoire particulier que constitue Calais, port secondaire dans l’ensemble français mais maillon essentiel sur la route de Paris à Londres. A cette fin, l’auteur analyse l’extension des infrastructures et des équipements du port ainsi que l’intensification des échanges entre 1814 et 1914, dans la perspective des rapports entre le port et la ville. Les mutations technologiques et les fluctuations dues à la concurrence dans le passage transmanche rythment l’histoire du port de Calais au xixe siècle tandis que l’activité urbaine est bouleversée très tôt par la naturalisation de l’industrie anglaise des tulles et dentelles mécaniques qui transforment Calais et Saint-Pierre en « Nottingham français » dès le milieu du siècle. Le passage des voyageurs est la fonction essentielle du port et, comme de nos jours, elle a tendance à accaparer les autres activités maritimes à moyenne et longue portée, pêche, cabotage et navigation au long-cours, qui se développent dans des proportions plus importantes dans les ports voisins de Boulogne-sur-Mer et Dunkerque. Mais Calais demeure, à la différence d’autres ports, indispensable au système des échanges européens en tant que « ville-pont » et à la défense nationale comme place de guerre de premier ordre. Ces caractères très particuliers expliquent que l’industrialisation qui transforme Saint-Pierre en grand centre textile sous le Second Empire ne soit pas parvenue à enrayer le développement des infrastructures du port avec les grands travaux du Plan Freycinet. Ils justifient en tous cas la longue résistance de « Calais Nord » à entrer dans une nouvelle agglomération. La réunion des deux communes en 1885 consacre l’équation calaisienne qui semble tenir en ces termes : une ville industrielle anglaise contiguë à un port de passage d’envergure européenne, mais sans armateurs et sans activité halieutique notable.

    Le charme indiscret de Jan Schuermans (2022)
    Presses universitaires du Septentrion
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Le charme indiscret est une histoire éternelle, remplie de sentiments universels – amitié, amour, joie, gravité, désespoir, méfiance – … et de sexe. Le récit commence le jour même de la proclamation du Traité de Westphalie (1648), qui met un terme à la Guerre de Quatre-Vingts Ans entre le Roi d’Espagne et les États de Hollande. Dans l’euphorie des festivités, Jan Schuermans, intelligent et sémillant curé d’Ename, paisible village de Flandre, faisant fi de la pruderie de son époque, se laisse aller à coucher avec une jeune femme. Les circonstances sont floues. S’agit-il de séduction ou de viol ? Quoi qu’il en soit, un enfant naît presque huit mois plus tard et meurt quelques jours après. Ce décès n’empêche pas la machine judiciaire ecclésiastique de s’acharner à l’enquête. Poursuivi, Jan Schuermans se réfugie à L’Écluse (Sluis), ville devenue hollandaise en vertu du Traité. Or, voici qu’on découvre d’autres scandales impliquant une moniale et des femmes du village. Condamné et chassé de son village, notre curé se retrouve en fâcheuse posture à Dunkerque, juste au moment de la Bataille des Dunes, repart sur les routes de l’exil et finit ses jours dans les parages de Furnes. Toute sa vie n’est qu’une longue succession d’ambitions frustrées, d’humiliations profondes et de poursuites acharnées. L’auteur excelle à brosser cette tragique « petite histoire » personnelle sur fond d’Histoire avec un grand H. Il évoque d’une part le curé et sa clique d’amis et amies, de l’autre les grands événements de ce dix-septième siècle, dont le dépeçage de la Flandre, disputée entre l’Espagne, la France et les Provinces-Unies. L’auteur exploite un éventail de documents étonnamment riche et varié pour retracer les faits certes mais avant tout pour pénétrer la psychologie des personnages. Il dénonce en même temps la mesquinerie de la Contre-Réforme avec son cortège de haines et de suspicions. Lancinantes, ces paroles de Jan Schuermans : « Je ne voulais pas de quelque chose de vivant ».

    Histoire de l’Asie du Sud-Est (2022)
    Presses universitaires du Septentrion
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: En Asie, la genèse des sociétés moderne s’effectue dans une crise permanente. Les transformations ont été introduites ou accélérées de façon plus ou moins forcée, par les états qui avaient fait des pays asiatiques leurs colonies ou les avaient placé dans leurs sphères d’influence économique, politique et culturelle. La soumission des peuples et de leur gouvernement a-t-elle jamais été réelle ? Elle n’a été toujours obtenue qu’à travers des guerres de conquête ; au-delà de celles-ci, les résistances, qu’elles aient été passives ou actives, n’ont pas cessé. La révolte est le réflexe primordial des peuples atteints dans leur indépendance mais plus encore dans l’intégrité de leur être culturel. C’est donc au plus profond de celui-ci que ces peuples puisent leurs références mobilisatrices, à la fois vigoureuses et vulnérables. Ces mythologies souffrent-elles de leur archaïsme ou davantage de ne pas avoir atteint l’universalité des doctrines et des méthodes impérialistes ? Apparemment les révoltes sont vouées à la défaite et, simultanément ou successivement, les réformes sont des tentatives d’éviter le retour des rébellions en réajustant partiellement les politiques aux revendications des groupes sociaux. Est-ce parce que les réformes n’atteignent jamais l’intégralité et la radicalité qu’elles échouent ou du moins perdent de leur efficacité? Les réformes manquées et les révoltes brisées inspirent les projets et les volontés révolutionnaires. La révolution vise au renversement d’une situation de fait mais est-ce sa seule radicalité qui lui insuffle sa force principale ? N’est-ce pas plutôt que les doctrines dont les révolutions s’inspirent : le nationalisme, le panasiatisme, l’islam, le communisme, ont en commum le dépassement des petites patries, des ethnies, des religions naturelles et des sectes. Grâce à elles, la révolution atteint la dimension universelle qui lui permet d’affronter l’impérialisme à armes égales ou presque. La réappropriation de l’indépendance nationale est accompagnée par le dessein de modernisation qui l’apparente à l’impérialisme mais lui permet de se poser en rival et en successeur légitime de ce dernier. C’est pourquoi la révolution, à son tour, engendre des structures qui ne feront pas nécessairement l’unanimité ; la révolte, la réforme et peut-être la révolution ou la contre-révolution existent, au moins virtuellement, dans la société révolutionnée. L’Asie du sud-est est une aire géographique, culturelle et politique beaucoup trop vaste pour que ce volume ait la prétention de la "couvrir". Les travaux rassemblés ici sont une première tentative d’exposer des études de cas sans prétention de théoriser. S’ils en appellent d’autres, ce livre aura prouvé son intérêt.

    Modernizing Composition: Sinhala Song, Poetry, and Politics in Twentieth-Century Sri Lanka (2021)
    University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: The study of South Asian music falls under the purview of ethnomusicology, whereas that of South Asian literature falls under South Asian studies. As a consequence of this academic separation, scholars rarely take notice of connections between South Asian song and poetry. Modernizing Composition overcomes this disciplinary fragmentation by examining the history of Sinhala-language song and poetry in twentieth-century Sri Lanka. Garrett Field describes how songwriters and poets modernized song and poetry in response to colonial and postcolonial formations. The story of this modernization is significant in that it shifts focus from India’s relationship to the West to little-studied connections between Sri Lanka and North India.

    Parameters of Disavowal (Volume 1.0) (2021)
    University of California Press | University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The colonial experience of the early twentieth century shaped Korea’s culture and identity, leaving a troubling past that was subtly reconstructed in South Korean postcolonial cinema. Relating postcolonial discourses to a reading of Manchurian action films, kisaeng and gangster films, and revenge horror films, Parameters of Disavowal shows how filmmakers reworked, recontextualized, and erased ideas and symbols of colonial power. In particular, Jinsoo An examines how South Korean films privileged certain sites, such as the kisaeng house and the Manchurian frontier, generating unique meanings that challenged the domination of the colonial power, and how horror films indirectly explored both the continuing trauma of colonial violence and lingering emotional ties to the colonial order. Espousing the ideology of nationalism while responding to a new Cold War order that positioned Japan and South Korea as political and economic allies, postcolonial cinema formulated distinctive ways of seeing and imagining the colonial past.

    L’homme, la vie et la mort dans le Nord au 19e siècle (2022)
    Presses universitaires du Septentrion
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: La démographie historique est à la mode dans les Université, françaises et il ne s’agit point d’un engouement passager Tenter de bâtir, pur plusieurs approches, une histoire sociale de la vie et de la mort dans ce Nord qui, au xixe siècle est d’une importance capitale pour l’économie européenne, n’est-ce point une lâche passionnante et scientifiquement indispensable ? Marcel Gillet, qui enseigne l’Histoire contemporaine a l’Université de Lille depuis 1954, présente ici en vue de ce grand dessein les premiers travaux de six jeunes historiens devenus depuis Agrégés de l’Université. Après une analyse par Marie-Pascale Buriez-Duez, des principales séries relatives à l’évolution démographique du Nord au xixe siècle, Monique et Charles Engrand étudient les effets meurtriers à Lille de l’épidémie de choléra de 1832 par les craintes qu’elle déchaîne, par les tensions qu’elle fait naître, l’épidémie met en lumière des données essentielles et en particulier la situation habituelle des milieux populaires , elle révèle aussi les antagonismes, les comportements et les mentalités des différents groupes qu’elle atteint ou menace. Aline l.esaégc-Dugied, par l’étude de la mortalité infantile, aborde par un autre biais cette grande caractéristique du xixe siècle, l’inégalité sociale devant la mort et donc la quantité de vie. On mesure combien l’abaissement du taux de mortalité infantile a été difficile et tardif. Pour sa part, Claude Hélène Dewaepenaere souligne que l’existence dans le Nord d’un taux de naissances illégitimes supérieur au taux moyen français peut être autant considérée comme la traduction du refus plus ou moins avoué des normes sociales ou religieuses habituellement acceptées que comme une situation imposée par des circonstances extérieures industrialisation, immigration étrangère par exemple. Enfin, Noëlle Dombrowski-Kéerle, en étudiant l’évolution du taux de divortialité dans le Nord propose une périodisation cl une interprétation de la façon dont les divorces ont progresse et ont été plus ou moins acceptés de 1884 à 1914.

    Reconciliation and Architectures of Commitment: Sequencing peace in Bougainville (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Following a bloody civil war, peace consolidated slowly and sequentially in Bougainville. That sequence was of both a top-down architecture of credible commitment in a formal peace process and layer upon layer of bottom-up reconciliation. Reconciliation was based on indigenous traditions of peacemaking. It also drew on Christian traditions of reconciliation, on training in restorative justice principles and on innovation in womens’ peacebuilding. Peacekeepers opened safe spaces for reconciliation, but it was locals who shaped and owned the peace. There is much to learn from this distinctively indigenous peace architecture. It is a far cry from the norms of a ‘liberal peace’ or a ‘realist peace’. The authors describe it as a hybrid ‘restorative peace’ in which ‘mothers of the land’ and then male combatants linked arms in creative ways. A danger to Bougainville’s peace is weakness of international commitment to honour the result of a forthcoming independence referendum that is one central plank of the peace deal.

    Bishops in Flight (2021)
    University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Flight during times of persecution has a long and fraught history in early Christianity. In the third century, bishops who fled were cowards or, worse yet, heretics. On the face of it, it meant denial of Christ and thus betrayal of the faith and its community. But, by the fourth century, the terms of persecution changed as Christianity became the favored cult of the Roman Empire. Prominent Christians who fled and hence survived became founders and influencers of Christianity over time. Bishops in Flight examines the various ways these episcopal leaders both appealed to and altered the discourse of Christian flight to defend their status as purveyors of Christian truth even when their exiles appeared to condemn them. It illuminates how profoundly Christian authors deployed theological discourse and the rhetoric of heresy to respond to the phenomenal political instability of the fourth and fifth centuries.

    What Is a Family? (2021)
    University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: What is a family? The essays gathered here explore disparate family histories in early modern Japan, attending variously to the samurai elite, agrarian villagers, urban merchants, communities of outcastes, and the circles surrounding priests, artists, and scholars. They draw on diverse sources—from population registers and legal documents to personal letters and diaries, from genealogies and necrologies to popular fiction and drama. And while some examine collective practices (the adoption of heirs, the veneration of ancestors), others look intimately at individual actors (a runaway daughter, a murderous wife). What unites these stories is the political and social order of the Tokugawa shogunate (1603-1868), which structured all lives. Families navigated its constraints differently, but the circumstances that made one household unlike another were framed, then as now, by prevailing laws, norms, and controls on resources. Those constraints led the majority to form stem families, the focus of this volume. The essays nonetheless depart from essentialist and nationalist narratives to emphasize that family formation was a dynamic process mediated by particular pressures.

    Family Experiments: Middle-class, professional families in Australia and New Zealand c. 1880–1920 (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Family Experiments explores the forms and undertakings of ‘family’ that prevailed among British professionals who migrated to Australia and New Zealand in the late nineteenth century. Their attempts to establish and define ‘family’ in Australasian, suburban environments reveal how the Victorian theory of ‘separate spheres’ could take a variety of forms in the new world setting. The attitudes and assumptions that shaped these family experiments may be placed on a continuum that extends from John Ruskin’s concept of evangelical motherhood to John Stuart Mill’s rational secularism. Central to their thinking was a belief in the power of education to produce civilised and humane individuals who, as useful citizens, would individually and in concert nurture a better society. Such ideas pushed them to the forefront of colonial liberalism. The pursuit of higher education for their daughters merged with and, in some respects, influenced first-wave colonial feminism. They became the first generation of colonial, middle-class parents to grapple not only with the problem of shaping careers for their sons but also, and more frustratingly, what graduate daughters might do next.

    German Ethnography in Australia (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: The contribution of German ethnography to Australian anthropological scholarship on Aboriginal societies and cultures has been limited, primarily because few people working in the field read German. But it has also been neglected because its humanistic concerns with language, religion and mythology contrasted with the mainstream British social anthropological tradition that prevailed in Australia until the late 1960s. The advent of native title claims, which require drawing on the earliest ethnography for any area, together with an increase in research on rock art of the Kimberley region, has stimulated interest in this German ethnography, as have some recent book translations. Even so, several major bodies of ethnography, such as the 13 volumes on the cultures of northeastern South Australia and the seven volumes on the Aranda of the Alice Springs region, remain inaccessible, along with many ethnographically rich articles and reports in mission archives. In 18 chapters, this book introduces and reviews the significance of this neglected work, much of it by missionaries who first wrote on Australian Aboriginal cultures in the 1840s. Almost all of these German speakers, in particular the missionaries, learnt an Aboriginal language in order to be able to document religious beliefs, mythology and songs as a first step to conversion. As a result, they produced an enormously valuable body of work that will greatly enrich regional ethnographies.

    Une Europe inédite (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: L’Europe se construit. Depuis un demi-siècle, pas à pas, un nouvel environnement économique, un nouvel espace géographique, une nouvelle entité politique se dessinent. Parmi les lieux de mémoire dédiés à l’histoire récente de l’Europe, la Fondation Jean Monnet, à Lausanne, possède un certain nombre d’archives permettant de suivre, de mieux comprendre à travers des textes rares comment l’idée d’union européenne s’est retrempée au fil des années, y compris avant et pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ses documents sont le noyau de l’ensemble que nous proposons. Les textes présentés dans ce volume essaient de donner un autre éclairage sur la « mécanique européenne ». L’angle choisi permet de montrer que la construction de l’Europe moderne ne fut pas forcément « technocratique », mais que, comme tout projet singulier, elle est le résultat de tâtonnements, d’hésitations, de conflits souvent aujourd’hui oubliés, et aussi d’un élan réel.

    Journal d’un pasteur protestant au XIXe siècle (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Comment un jeune garçon, né au début du xixe siècle dans une famille pauvre du Cambrésis, orphelin de père à trois ans, presque analphabète, promis à l’humble condition d’ouvrier tisserand, accèdera-t-il au pastorat et au statut de notable ? Parce qu’il était conscient du caractère exceptionnel de cet itinéraire, J.-B. Pruvot entreprit d’en retracer les étapes dans une Histoire de ma vie racontée à mes enfants. Il en évoque les moments importants, sa rencontre déterminante, à l’âge de l’adolescence, avec des prédicateurs évangélistes baptistes, dont le message le bouleverse, son ardent désir de prêcher un jour la « parole de Dieu », sa formation auprès de pasteurs américains à Douai, et enfin sa consécration comme pasteur baptiste en 1840, puis comme pasteur de l’église réformée de Verdun. Au-delà de ce témoignage personnel, qui s’étend sur toute une vie, car J.-B. Pruvot tint un journal jusqu’à sa mort en 1878, se profile toute une société en grande partie disparue, celle des petites gens des villages du Cambrésis, ouvriers-tisseurs, brodeurs, artisans-paysans, dans leur existence quotidienne, leurs combats contre la précarité, leurs affrontements, leurs solidarités ; on mesure le retentissement sur leurs destins des politiques qui se décident si loin d’eux : sous l’Empire le cauchemar du « tirage au sort » pour l’armée, les crises économiques, les guerres. De ce texte riche en notations concrètes, en anecdotes pittoresques, émane le sentiment d’une authenticité émouvante et savoureuse.

    What’s France got to do with it? (2021)

    Description: While only one book-length memoir recounting the sojourn of an Australian in France was published in the 1990s, well over 40 have been published since 2000, overwhelmingly written by women. Although we might expect a focus on travel, intercultural adjustment and communication in these texts, this is the case only in a minority of accounts. More frequently, France serves as a backdrop to a project of self-renovation in which transplantation to another country is incidental, hence the question ‘What’s France got to do with it?’ The book delves into what France represents in the various narratives, its role in the self-transformation, and the reasons for the seemingly insatiable demand among readers and publishers for these stories. It asks why these memoirs have gained such traction among Australian women at the dawn of the twenty-first century and what is at stake in the fascination with France.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: This is an unchanged republication of the first historical account of the social work profession in Australia. It traces the development of social work education and professional social work in the larger, more industrialised societies overseas before the same developments began in Australia in the late 1920s, and it notes the part played by overseas influence in the subsequent 30-odd years. The book concentrates on the development of training bodies and their courses, the spread of qualified social workers into various fields of employment in Australia’s expanding health and welfare services, and the growth of professional associations and their programmes. The author assesses the occupational group in terms of accepted attitudes towards the established professions. He concludes with a discussion of major contemporary issues facing the Australian social work profession.

    Les souvenirs de Charles Bonnier (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Charles Bonnier (1863-1926) est un personnage-clef du socialisme français et européen des années 1880 et 1890, un des plus proches amis de Jules Guesde, très lié aussi à Friedrich Engels, Eleanor Marx, Wilhelm Liebknecht... Les aléas de la vie universitaire l’amènent à vivre en France, en Allemagne et en Angleterre. Ses Souvenirs jusqu’à présent demeurés inédits ne se limitent cependant pas aux aspects politiques et idéologiques d’une vie de militant et de théoricien. Ils abondent en informations sur une société où s’entremêlent savoir universitaire et soucis de carrière, débats politiques, intellectuels et artistiques, des années 1870 à 1914. Après Lille, Templeuve et le Pévèle, revit le Paris des années 1880, celui des petites revues et des cabarets montmartrois vus par un amateur d’art et de littérature. Socialiste et marxiste, Charles Bonnier est également wagnérien enthousiaste. Il voyage en Allemagne et rêve de s’y établir. À Londres, Oxford et Liverpool, il continue à fréquenter aussi bien les milieux artistiques et littéraires qu’à militer en faveur du Parti ouvrier français et de l’Internationale. Marx et Mallarmé, Wagner et Manet : l’effervescence intellectuelle – et les drames – d’une époque troublée sont évoqués ici avec simplicité, humour et mélancolie.

    Description: Maître d’école et clerc paroissial de Silly-en-Multien, village de l’ancien diocèse de Meaux, présentement Silly-le-long dans l’Oise, Pierre Louis Nicolas Delahaye (1745-1805) a laissé un passionnant journal couvrant la période 1771-1792. L’« état des baptêmes, mariages et sépultures de la paroisse », agrémenté d’un livre de comptes, devenu au fil des années une véritable chronique de la vie de la communauté, offre une grande richesse documentaire sur la démographie, l’économie, la société, la vie religieuse, la culture matérielle et le quotidien d’une paroisse rurale en pays de grande culture au nord de Paris. L’atonie politique de l’Ancien Régime finissant, marqué par la succession monotone des jours et des saisons, fut interrompue par l’irruption des événements révolutionnaires, dont l’auteur, observateur sagace, témoin privilégié et acteur local, nous propose un récit très vivant, témoignant de la réception de la Révolution au village. Le journal révèle aussi le cheminement d’un personnage attachant, enraciné dans son siècle d’ombres et de Lumières, l’homme privé dans son environnement familial, professionnel et social, comme l’homme public, chrétien « patriote », confronté à la plus formidable accélération du « temps court » de notre histoire.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: A Vietnamese Moses is the story of Philiphê Bỉnh, a Vietnamese Catholic priest who in 1796 traveled from Tonkin to the Portuguese court in Lisbon to persuade its ruler to appoint a bishop for his community of ex-Jesuits. Based on Bỉnh’s surviving writings from his thirty-seven-year exile in Portugal, this book examines how the intersections of global and local Roman Catholic geographies shaped the lives of Vietnamese Christians in the early modern era. The book also argues that Bỉnh’s mission to Portugal and his intense lobbying on behalf of his community reflected the agency of Vietnamese Catholics, who vigorously engaged with church politics in defense of their distinctive Portuguese-Catholic heritage. George E. Dutton demonstrates the ways in which Catholic beliefs, histories, and genealogies transformed how Vietnamese thought about themselves and their place in the world. This sophisticated exploration of Vietnamese engagement with both the Catholic Church and Napoleonic Europe provides a unique perspective on the complex history of early Vietnamese Christianity.

    Nakba and Survival (2022)
    University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Beginning in 1948, Israeli paramilitary forces began violently displacing Palestinian Arabs from Palestine. Nakba and Survival tells the stories of Palestinians in Haifa and the Galilee during, and in the decade after, mass dispossession. Manna uses oral histories and Palestinian and Israeli archives, diaries, and memoirs to meticulously reconstruct the social history of the Palestinians who remained and returned to become Israeli citizens. This book focuses in particular on the Galilee, using the story of Manna’s own family and their village Majd al-Krum after the establishment of Israel to shed light on the cruelties faced by survivors of the military regime. While scholars of the Palestinian national movement have often studied Palestinian resistance to Israel as related to the armed struggle and the cultural struggle against the Jewish state, Manna shows that remaining in Israel under the brutality of occupation and fighting to return to Palestinian communities after displacement are acts of heroism in their own right. “Nakba and Survival is bound to be the standard authoritative study of the 1948 war in the city of Haifa and the Galilee.”—Salim Tamari, coauthor of Camera Palaestina: Photography and Displaced Histories of Palestine “Essential reading for anyone wishing to understand how the events of 1948 continue to shape the Palestinian condition today.”—Maha Nassar, author of Brothers Apart: Palestinian Citizens of Israel and the Arab World “The empathy for, and solidarity with, Adel Manna’s historical subjects shapes the book’s narratives, the questions it asks, and its deft use of oral histories. A must-read for all those who want to understand daily lives under settler colonial rule.”—Orit Bashkin, coeditor of Jews and Journeys: Travel and the Performance of Jewish Identity

    Hindu Pluralism (2021)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: In Hindu Pluralism, Elaine M. Fisher complicates the traditional scholarly narrative of the unification of Hinduism. By calling into question the colonial categories implicit in the term “sectarianism,” Fisher’s work excavates the pluralistic textures of precolonial Hinduism in the centuries prior to British intervention. Drawing on previously unpublished sources in Sanskrit, Tamil, and Telugu, Fisher argues that the performance of plural religious identities in public space in Indian early modernity paved the way for the emergence of a distinctively non-Western form of religious pluralism. This work provides a critical resource for understanding how Hinduism developed in the early modern period, a crucial era that set the tenor for religion’s role in public life in India through the present day. “A detailed, insightful, and original perspective on a significant and understudied period. It engages intelligently with current discussions of early modern Indian intellectual and religious history, while calling into question key elements of the existing picture of the period among specialists in the field.” -LAWRENCE McCREA, Cornell University “Fisher works at both a micro and macro level to read the intricacies of Smarta Saivism against the broader backdrop of evolving definitions of Hinduism. Her counterintuitive thesis is that sectarianism is not so much a breakup of a preexisting unity but rather an aggregation of discrete religions.” -GAURI VISWANATHAN, Columbia University “Fisher’s work is critical now more than ever in helping us to understand what Hinduism is and how it began to be that way, not in misty antiquity but in early modernity.” -ROBERT P. GOLDMAN, University of California at Berkeley ELAINE M. FISHER is Assistant Professor in the Department of Religious Studies at Stanford University.

    La faculté des lettres de Lille de 1887 à 1945 (2022)
    Presses universitaires du Septentrion
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: La Faculté des Lettres de Lille participe activement à la rénovation des études supérieures entreprises par les dirigeants de la Troisième République après 1880. Bien intégrée dans un véritable quartier latin lillois, elle connaît un développement important entre 1887 et 1914. La formation d’étudiants plus nombreux et l’accentuation de la recherche originale deviennent les deux missions fondamentales de l’institution qui n’en oublie pas pour autant la formation d’un citoyen actif et responsable. La première guerre mondiale vient compromettre sérieusement l’essor engagé. Au milieu des pires difficultés, une vie universitaire minimale réussit à se maintenir dans une ville saignée à blanc par l’occupant. De 1919 à 1939, la Faculté tente de retrouver l’esprit de novation qui l’animait avant-guerre mais une partie du dynamisme semble perdu. On reproduit surtout les structures anciennes même si l’institution connaît ensuite un nouvel essor de ses effectifs étudiants et enseignants. La seconde guerre mondiale, une nouvelle fois, vient briser l’élan. La Faculté doit alors vivre à l’heure allemande mais refuse de se compromettre. Sans entrer dans la résistance active, la plupart de ses membres refusent l’idée de collaboration et affirment, par leur travail, la survie de la culture française. En 1945, après les joies de la libération, une nouvelle reconstruction s’impose cependant.

    In Good Faith?: Governing Indigenous Australia through God, Charity and Empire, 1825-1855 (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In the early decades of the 19th century, Indigenous Australians suffered devastating losses at the hands of British colonists, who largely ignored their sovereignty and even their humanity. At the same time, however, a new wave of Christian humanitarians were arriving in the colonies, troubled by Aboriginal suffering and arguing that colonists had obligations towards the people they had dispossessed. These white philanthropists raised questions which have shaped Australian society ever since. Did Indigenous Australians have rights to land, rationing, education and cultural survival? If so, how should these be guaranteed, and what would people have to give up in return? Would charity and paternalism lead to effective government or dismal failure – to a powerful defence of an oppressed people, or to new forms of oppression? In Good Faith? paints a vivid picture of life on Australia’s first missions and protectorate stations, examining the tensions between charity and rights, empathy and imperialism, as well as the intimacy, dependence, resentment and obligations that developed between missionary philanthropists and the people they tried to protect and control. In this work, Mitchell brings to life hitherto neglected moments in Australia’s history, and traces the origins of dilemmas still present today.

    La Catho (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: In fide ad scientiam. Cette devise met en relief le caractère à la fois ecclésial et universitaire de l’Université catholique de Lille, une des cinq fondées, en France, à la faveur de la loi sur la liberté de l’enseignement supérieur en 1875. Les conditions de sa naissance et de son développement donnent un visage original à cette institution lilloise, née de la volonté des catholiques de former des clercs, en vue de l’enseignement, mais aussi des professionnels chrétiens, médecins, ingénieurs ou autres, compétents dans leur domaine. Cette histoire prend en compte la diversité des composantes de la Catho, facultés, hôpitaux, instituts, écoles, centres de recherche et aussi de ses acteurs, fondateurs, autorités rectorales, administrateurs, enseignants, étudiants… en même temps que le souci de l’unité d’une institution, considérée comme un des lieux privilégiés de la confrontation de la foi et de la raison. L’approche est synthétique, permettant de saisir ces enjeux et la manière d’y répondre, tout au long d’un siècle d’une histoire mouvementée, tant sur le plan interne, qu’au regard des affrontements politiques, sociaux, économiques, idéologiques, internationaux… qui l’ont marquée.

    Australia, the European Union and the New Trade Agenda (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: "Australia (together with New Zealand) is one of the few Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries with which the EU does not have a comprehensive trade agreement. Australia and the EU are entering a new phase in the bilateral relationship, and the push towards a potential trade agreement has been steadily gaining momentum. This collection brings together diverse and deeply practical contributions to the forthcoming policy debate on the Australia–EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA), highlighting potential points of difficulty and possible gains from the agreement. This book makes two further contributions: it adds to the body of work reappraising the contemporary Australia–EU relationship; and provides a snapshot of current issues in trade policy—the ‘new trade agenda’—which is more complex and politically visible than ever. The issues confronting Australia and the EU in forthcoming negotiations are those confronting policy makers around the globe. They are testing public tolerance of decisions once viewed as dull and technocratic, and are redefining the academic treatment of trade policy. ‘… this book is especially important because it is talking about a very different type of trade agreement than the ones Australia has concluded recently with our major trading partners in East Asia. An agreement with the EU inevitably will focus on issues like services, investment, government procurement, and competition policy. These are major issues in their own right, are key parts of the new trade agenda, and are critical to Australia’s successful transition to a prosperous post–mining boom economy. In the absence of generalisable unilateral economic reform in this country, trade policy hopefully will provide an external source of pressure for reform. If this book adds to that pressure while also suggesting some of the tools needed for reform, it will have made a major contribution.’ Dr Mike Adams, Partner, Trading Nation Consulting"

    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Since 1940, when an Australian legation was established in Washington DC, Australian governments have expected much from their representatives in the American capital. This book brings together expert analyses of those who have served as heads of mission and of the challenges they have faced. Ranging beyond conventional studies of the Australian–United States relationship, it provides insights into the dynamics between Australian and US policymakers and into the culture of one of Australia’s oldest and most important overseas missions. It provides an appreciation of the importance of the embassy and the head of mission in Washington in mediating the relationship between Australia and the United States and of their role in managing expectations in Canberra and Washington. Australia Goes to Washington also sheds new light on personal trials and achievements at the coalface of Australian–United States relations.

    Al-Haq (2021)
    University of California Press | University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Established in Ramallah in 1979, al-Haq was the first Palestinian human rights organization and one of the first such organizations in the Arab world. This inside history explores how al-Haq initiated methodologies in law and practice that were ahead of its time and that proved foundational for many strands of today’s human rights work in Palestine and elsewhere. Lynn Welchman looks at both al-Haq’s history and legacy to explore such questions as: Why would one set up a human rights organization under military occupation? How would one go about promoting the rule of law in a Palestinian society deleteriously served by the law and with every reason to distrust those charged with implementing its protections? How would one work to educate overseas allies and activate international law in defense of Palestinian rights? This revelatory story speaks to the practice of local human rights organizations and their impact on international groups. “This book is a godsend. A perfect example of precisely the kind of research that is most needed now, at a moment when human rights have never been more delegitimized on the international stage and abuses more rampant across the Middle East and North Africa.” — MARK LEVINE, author of Heavy Metal Islam: Rock, Resistance, and the Struggle for the Soul of Islam “Clear, concise, accessible, and detailed, this unique book sheds extensive light on how and why al-Haq developed as it did. And in doing so it offers original material on the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, the development of the human rights movement in Palestine and globally, and the creation and management of civil society organizations.” — MOUIN RABBANI, coeditor of Jadaliyya and former Senior Analyst and Special Advisor on Palestine, International Crisis Group

    Description: « Plus cette affaire est finie, plus il est évident qu’elle ne finira jamais », affirme l’auteur de Notre Jeunesse. Moment fondateur pour la culture républicaine et pour les intellectuels, l’affaire Dreyfus ne cesse d’être invoquée et convoquée à gauche comme à l’extrême droite. Une dizaine d’études ainsi que la bibliographie du centenaire sont présentées ici, sous le patronage de Pierre Vidal-Naquet, avec le concours de la Ville d’Orléans, du centre Charles Péguy et de l’équipe Littérature et Histoire de la Faculté des Lettres d’Orléans. Les unes et les autres s’attachent à définir, en des contextes différents – à la Belle Époque, dans l’entre-deux-guerres ou pendant la guerre d’Algérie... –, les postérités intellectuelle et politique de l’Affaire. Modèle, symbole ou repoussoir, l’affaire Dreyfus se voit réinterprétée et reconstruite tout au long du siècle, d’abord par les hommes qui l’ont vécue puis par les générations suivantes ; objet d’histoire, certes, mais aussi enjeu de mémoire, référence morale, idéologique et opérateur politique, l’Affaire apparaît bien, ainsi que le pressentait Péguy, comme un véritable « revenant ».

    Harnessing the Bohemian: Artists as innovation partners in rural and remote communities (2021)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Harnessing the Bohemian takes a fresh and interdisciplinary perspective on the intractable problem of shrinking populations and resources in remote/rural communities. It challenges the conventional wisdom of community development theories and practices and envisages more central roles for the creative disciplines in revitalising futures planning. It argues that the evolution of technologies, the emergence of creative economies, the increasing demand for creative products, and the emergence of new creative talent are continually changing community expectations and opportunities. Consequentially, fresh arguments and new ideas must be developed to stimulate more creative and innovative approaches to community development. Recognising that creativity and innovation exist across all community sectors, this book proposes practical new approaches that harness the creative capital of all community stakeholders.

    The Persianate World (2021)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Persian is one of the great lingua francas of world history. Yet despite its recognition as a shared language across the Islamic world and beyond, its scope, impact, and mechanisms remain underexplored. A world historical inquiry into pre-modern cosmopolitanism, The Persianate World traces the reach and limits of Persian as a Eurasian language in a comprehensive survey of its geographical, literary, and social frontiers. From Siberia to Southeast Asia, and between London and Beijing, this book shows how Persian gained, maintained, and finally surrendered its status to imperial and vernacular competitors. Fourteen essays trace Persian’s interactions with Bengali, Chinese, Turkic, Punjabi, and other languages to identify the forces that extended “Persographia,” the domain of written Persian. Spanning the ages of expansion and contraction, The Persianate World offers a critical survey of both the supports and constraints of one of history’s key languages of global exchange.  “This groundbreaking collection illuminates the multifaceted and very complex history of the rise and decline of the Persian language as a lingua franca.” AHMAD KARIMI-HAKKAK, author of Recasting Persian Poetry  “With erudition and refinement, this book accomplishes something remarkable—it provides a timely corrective to an anachronistic understanding of the Persianate sphere as an empire of letters centred on Iran.” PAOLO SARTORI, author of Visions of Justice  “An exceptionally important contribution to our understanding of what constituted the Persianate world.” ANDREW PEACOCK, University of St. Andrews  NILE GREEN holds the Ibn Khaldun Endowed Chair in World History at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is the author of Sufism: A Global History and Terrains of Exchange: Religious Economies of Global Islam and editor of Afghanistan’s Islam: From Conversion to the Taliban.

    Radical Spaces (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Radical Spaces explores the rise of popular radicalism in London between 1790 and 1845 through key sites of radical assembly: the prison, the tavern and the radical theatre. Access to spaces in which to meet, agitate and debate provided those excluded from the formal arenas of the political nation–the great majority of the population–a crucial voice in the public sphere. Radical Spaces utilises both textual and visual public records, private correspondence and the secret service reports from the files of the Home Office to shed new light on the rise of plebeian radicalism in the metropolis. It brings the gendered nature of such sites to the fore, finding women where none were thought to gather, and reveals that despite the diversity in these spaces, there existed a dynamic and symbiotic relationship between radical culture and the sites in which it operated. These venues were both shaped by and helped to shape the political identity of a generation of radical men and women who envisioned a new social and political order for Britain.

    Paul Desjardins et les Décades de Pontigny (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Si l’histoire des décades de Pontigny nous restitue le rassemblement annuel, dans une abbaye bourguignonne redevenue laïque, des plus grands esprits européens, de Paul Valéry à Heinrich Mann, de Max Scheler à Paul Langevin, d’Alberto Moravia à André Malraux, elle révèle surtout les multiples facettes de ce lieu singulier, à mi-chemin d’un salon héritier des Lumières et d’un congrès scientifique tributaire des réseaux de l’Internationale Scientifique propre au xxe siècle. À la fois subtile université auprès de la jeunesse normalienne, refuge aristocratique réservé longtemps aux proches d’André Gide et de la NRF, cellule collective de réflexions consacrées à l’avenir de la SDN ou de l’école par des publicistes et des hommes politiques, les Décades, loin de tourner le dos au monde, tentèrent de le déchiffrer, guidées le plus souvent par la boussole du riche passé humaniste européen et de ses vertus de tolérance et d’esprit critique. Au carrefour de quelques-uns des dialogues essentiels où se nouait la question des relations catholiques et non-catholiques, entre Allemands et Français, entre Occident et Orient, Pontigny fut une des rares institutions intellectuelles médiatrices dans une époque traversée de conflits. Peut-être parce qu’en France, depuis Montaigne, le culte de la littérature, si bien organisé par les Décades, eut pour fonction non négligeable d’apaiser les esprits et d’exprimer le meilleur de la civilisation.

    Journalier de Jean Pussot maître-charpentier à Reims (1568-1626) (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: De 1568, année de son mariage à l’âge de 24 ans, jusqu’à son décès en 1626, soit 57 années durant sans la moindre interruption, le maître-charpentier rémois Jehan Pussot tient un journalier, d’abord pour lui-même et son entourage immédiat, puis dans l’espoir avoué d’instruire les générations futures. Son écriture, simple et directe, pudique et parfois ironique, mais jamais dénuée de bon sens, se densifie au fil des ans pour refléter l’élargissement constant des centres d’intérêt de notre artisan. Ainsi à la chronique initiale des événements familiaux et des conjonctures saisonnières, Pussot ajoute très tôt l’observation du cortège sans fin des troubles politico-religieux qui frappent la France et le Pays Rémois au dernier tiers du xvie siècle. À la compassion pour ses contemporains, à l’occasion des tensions ligueuses particulièrement vives dans une cité toute acquise aux Guise, succède le soulagement apporté par la pacification générale de 1598. Dès lors, l’homme de métier et possesseur de vignes goûte les bienfaits de la gestion prospère des affaires, le fervent catholique se fait le témoin vigilant de la marche triomphale du catholicisme réformé, notamment de ses expériences liturgiques et musicales. Le fidèle sujet du royaume se réjouit de la réconciliation survenue entre les premiers Bourbons, la noblesse catholique et sa cité des sacres, redevenue l’ornement visible de la monarchie. Lorsque enfin les dernières années se présentent, emporté par une vague nostalgique de souvenirs personnels, il ouvre une fenêtre mémorielle passionnante sur ses vertes années.

    The First Fleet Piano: Volume One and Two (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: During the late eighteenth century, a musical–cultural phenomenon swept the globe. The English square piano—invented in the early 1760s by an entrepreneurial German guitar maker in London—not only became an indispensable part of social life, but also inspired the creation of an expressive and scintillating repertoire. Square pianos reinforced music as life’s counterpoint, and were played by royalty, by musicians of the highest calibre and by aspiring amateurs alike. On Sunday, 13 May 1787, a square piano departed from Portsmouth on board the Sirius, the flagship of the First Fleet, bound for Botany Bay. Who made the First Fleet piano, and when was it made? Who owned it? Who played it, and who listened? What music did the instrument sound out, and within what contexts was its voice heard? What became of the First Fleet piano after its arrival on antipodean soil, and who played a part in the instrument’s subsequent history? Two extant instruments contend for the title ‘First Fleet piano’; which of these made the epic journey to Botany Bay in 1787–88? The First Fleet Piano: A Musician’s View answers these questions, and provides tantalising glimpses of social and cultural life both in Georgian England and in the early colony at Sydney Cove. The First Fleet piano is placed within the musical and social contexts for which it was created, and narratives of the individuals whose lives have been touched by the instrument are woven together into an account of the First Fleet piano’s conjunction with the forces of history. Note: Volume 1 and 2 are sold as a set ($120 for both) and cannot be purchased separately.

    Public Goods Provision in the Early Modern Economy (2021)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Historically, for sustaining and reproducing their economic lives, people have obtained goods and services through various ways. How did people tackle issues that the market did not handle well? This volume compares early modern efforts to provide “public goods”—defined in contraposition to market-mediated goods and goods provided through personal relations, such as kinship ties. We examine poverty and famine relief, infrastructure building, and forestry management in East Asia and Europe, using Japan’s Tokugawa era (1603–1868) as a benchmark from which consider the cases in Prussia, China, and England. Taking advantage of rich scholarship on the role of autonomous village and regional society in Japan’s early modern history, the volume highlights the diverse approaches to providing public goods across societies, relativizing the discussion on the formation of fiscal state drawn from the experience in “advanced” Western Europe, and it constructs the beginnings of an early modern basis for forecasting the diversity in public-goods provision future into the modern and contemporary periods.

    Description: Curiosité universitaire, car unique en France, fruit d’une utopie audacieuse qui projetait de restaurer la « chrétienté » dans le pays, pépinière de médecins et pharmaciens engagés au service de leurs contemporains et foyer actif de réflexion bioéthique, la Faculté libre de médecine et de pharmacie a été et reste encore tout cela à la fois. L’ouvrage retrace les difficultés extrêmes qu’elle a connues et surmontées depuis sa création en 1876, dans le climat des luttes religieuses de l’époque. Oppositions farouches, obstructions sournoises, indifférence, discriminations jalonnent le premier siècle de son parcours. Elle a pu se maintenir grâce à la générosité des catholiques de la région et à la foi et l’abnégation de ses enseignants. La reconnaissance de son autonomie pédagogique en 1972 lui a permis de prendre enfin sa place dans le paysage hospitalo-universitaire français. Elle essaie d’y maintenir son originalité d’institution d’Eglise, membre d’une Université catholique, tout en s’adaptant à l’évolution du monde actuel.

    Des syndicalistes chrétiens en politique (1944-1962) (2022)
    Presses universitaires du Septentrion
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Sans prétendre au monopole de l’action sociale et familiale, des parlementaires syndicalistes chrétiens, membres du M.R.P., ont apporté leur contribution à la reconstruction de la France au lendemain de la Libération : le climat d’unanimité nationale a favorisé la réalisation des grandes réformes telles que les nationalisations, la création des comités d’entreprise, l’instauration de la Sécurité sociale. Robert Prigent, Louis Beugniez, Jules Catoire, Paul Bacon ne sont pas les seuls démocrates chrétiens à prendre en charge les questions familiales et sociales, l’œuvre du M.R.P. déborde largement ce domaine mais ces quatre militants ont pesé, chacun à leur manière, sur les orientations de la politique française : Louis Beugniez a occupé la fonction stratégique de président de la Commission du travail et de la sécurité sociale de 1946 à 1951, Jules Catoire a été le bras droit social de Robert Schuman lors de la délicate période de la troisième force, Robert Prigent a incarné le combat familial des républicains populaires après la Libération, Paul Bacon est présent durant neuf années au ministère du Travail et de la Sécurité sociale de 1950 à 1962. Des portraits croisés suivis de documents permettent de comprendre l’itinéraire hors du commun de ces hommes entrés en politique pour défendre des idées, des projets, avec l’innocence naïve des nouveaux venus dans la République.

    Child’s Play (2021)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Few things make Japanese adults feel quite as anxious today as the phenomenon called the “child crisis.” Various media teem with intense debates about bullying in schools, child poverty, child suicides, violent crimes committed by children, the rise of socially withdrawn youngsters, and forceful moves by the government to introduce a more conservative educational curriculum. These issues have propelled Japan into the center of a set of global conversations about the nature of children and how to raise them. Engaging both the history of children and childhood and the history of emotions, contributors to this volume track Japanese childhood through a number of historical scenarios. Such explorations—some from Japan’s early modern past—are revealed through letters, diaries, memoirs, family and household records, and religious polemics about promising, rambunctious, sickly, happy, and dutiful youngsters.

    Qu’est-ce qu’on ne sait pas en histoire ? (2022)
    Presses universitaires du Septentrion
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Des historiens, étrangers et français, plus souvent habitués à se retrouver autour d’énoncés affirmatifs, chronologiquement bornés, acceptent dans ce livre le double pari d’une question ouverte, par essence plus déstabilisatrice, et d’une confrontation avec des représentants d’autres sciences humaines. Leur intention, en s’interrogeant ainsi sur ce qu’on ne sait pas en histoire, n’est évidemment pas de faire surgir de nouveaux savoirs ni de se livrer à une quelconque cartographie de l’ignorance. Leur ambition, plus modeste mais bien plus intéressante, est, en partant chacun de leur expérience professionnelle propre et de leur spécialité, de parvenir à répertorier et à analyser quelques-unes des nécessités préalables à l’établissement du savoir historique. Quels obstacles les historiens rencontrent-ils ? Quelles faiblesses se reconnaissent-ils ? Quelles solutions envisagent-ils ? Qu’est-ce qu’on ne sait pas en histoire ? se présente donc comme un volume renvoyant, de façon cohérente, aussi bien à l’épistémologie et à la méthodologie de la science historique qu’à la déontologie et à l’identité de l’historien. Il s’adresse autant aux étudiants d’histoire, de sciences politiques et de philosophie qu’à un vaste public cultivé désireux de mieux comprendre à la fois certains silences des historiens et le processus qui les amène à présenter comme acquises des connaissances.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: How did climbers from the world’s flattest, hottest continent become world-class Himalayan mountaineers, the equal of any elite mountaineer from countries with long climbing traditions and home ranges that make Australia’s highest summit look like a suburban hill? This book tells the story of Australian mountaineering in the great ranges of Asia, from the exploits of a brash, young colonial with an early British Himalayan expedition in the 1920s to the coming of age of Australian climbers in the 1980s. The story goes beyond the two remarkable Australian ascents of Mt Everest in 1984 and 1988 to explore the exploits of Australian climbers in the far-flung corners of the high Himalaya. Above all, the book presents a glimpse into the lives – the successes, failures, tragedies, motivations, fears, conflicts, humor, and compassion – themselves to the ultimate limits of survival in the most spectacular and demanding mountain arena of all.

    Finding Jerusalem: Archaeology between Science and Ideology (2021)
    University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Archaeological discoveries in Jerusalem capture worldwide attention in various media outlets. The continuing quest to discover the city’s physical remains is not simply an attempt to define Israel’s past or determine its historical legacy. In the context of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it is also an attempt to legitimate—or undercut—national claims to sovereignty. Bridging the ever-widening gap between popular coverage and specialized literature, Finding Jerusalem provides a comprehensive tour of the politics of archaeology in the city. Through a wide-ranging discussion of the material evidence, Katharina Galor illuminates the complex legal contexts and ethical precepts that underlie archaeological activity and the discourse of “cultural heritage” in Jerusalem. This book addresses the pressing need to disentangle historical documentation from the religious aspirations, social ambitions, and political commitments that shape its interpretation.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: ‘How can you make decisions about Aboriginal people when you can’t even talk to the people you’ve got here that are blackfellas?’ So ‘Sarah’, a senior Aboriginal public servant, imagines a conversation with the Northern Territory Public Service. Her question suggests tensions for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who have accepted the long-standing invitation to join the ranks of the public service. Reluctant Representatives gives us a rare glimpse into the working world of the individuals behind the Indigenous public sector employment statistics. This empathetic exposé of the challenges of representative bureaucracy draws on interviews with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians who have tried making it work. Through Ganter’s engaging narration, we learn that the mere presence of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in the public service is not enough. If bureaucracies are to represent the communities they serve, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander public servants need to be heard and need to know their people are heard.

    Bridging Australia and Japan: Volume 1. The writings of David Sissons, historian and political scientist (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: This book represents volume one of the writings of David Sissons, who for most of his career pioneered research on the history of relations between Australia and Japan. Much of what he wrote remained unpublished at the time of his death in 2006, and so the editors have included a selection of his hitherto unpublished work along with some of his published writings. Breaking Japanese Diplomatic Codes, edited by Desmond Ball and Keiko Tamura, was published in 2013 and forms a part of the series that reproduces many of Sissons’ writings. In the current volume, the topics covered are wide. They range from contacts between the two countries as far back as the early 19th century, Japanese pearl divers in northern Australia, Japanese prostitutes in Australia, the wool trade, the notorious ‘trade diversion episode’ of 1936, and a study of the Japan historian James Murdoch. Sissons was an extraordinarily meticulous researcher, leaving no stone unturned in his search for accuracy and completeness of understanding, and should be considered one of Australia’s major historians. His writings deal with not only diplomatic negotiations and decision-making, but also the lives of ordinary and often nameless people and their engagements with their host society. His warm humanity in recording ordinary people’s lives as well as his balanced examination of historical incidents and issues from both Australian and Japanese perspectives are a hallmark of his scholarship.

    Description: Dieses Buch läßt in fast 200 Texten von über 70 Autoren das wenig glorreiche, aber nichtsdestoweniger glanzvolle Ende des Habsburgerreiches aufleben ; ein fast achthundert Jahre alter Vielvölkerstaat, der nicht nur den bekannten zentrifugalen Explosivstoff enthielt, sondern auch ungeahnte Virtualitäten zur Verwirklichung einer Donauföderation, vor der die Europäische Union heute wieder steht. Ein Buch über die Geschichte Österreichs von der konstitutionellen Ära 1867 an, in dem neben Nationalitätenstreit und Antisemitismus auch die Politik der Parteien und ihre Führer ins Auge gefaßt werden, woraus sich mit Kunst, Kultur und Lebensart der verschiedenen Bevölkerungsschichten ein abgerundetes Bild dieser schicksalweisenden Epoche Österreichs ergibt. Auch die Emanzipationsbestrebungen der Frau kommen zu Wort, und dps Herrscherhaus wird intim charakterisiert. Ein Buch also von erstaunlicher Aktualität, nicht nur, was den Aufbruch um die Jahrhundertwende betrifft, sondern auch in der Politk. Aber auch ein „Lesebuch“, ein Buch zum Schmökern und Entdecken, wo jeder Text neue Anregung bringt.

    TA31: The Early Prehistory of Fiji (2021)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: I enjoyed reading this volume. It is rare to see such a comprehensive report on hard data published these days, especially one so insightfully contextualised by the editors’ introductory and concluding chapters. These scholars and the others involved in the work really know their stuff, and it shows. The editors connect the preoccupations of Pacific archaeologists with those of their colleagues working in other island regions and on “big questions” of colonisation, migration, interaction and patterns and processes of cultural change in hitherto-uninhabited environments. These sorts of outward-looking, big-picture contextual studies are invaluable, but all too often are missing from locally- and regionally-oriented writing, very much to its detriment. In sum, the work strongly advances our understanding of the early prehistory of Fiji through its well-integrated combination of original research and the reinterpretation of existing knowledge in the context of wider theoretical and historical concerns. In doing so The Early Prehistory of Fiji makes a truly substantial contribution to Pacific and archaeological scholarship.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: When China’s War of Resistance against Japan began in July 1937, it sparked an immediate health crisis throughout the country. In the end, China not only survived the war but also emerged from the trauma with a curious strength. Intimate Communities argues that women who worked as military and civilian nurses, doctors, and midwives during this turbulent period built the national community, one relationship at a time. In a country with a majority illiterate, agricultural population that could not relate to urban elites’ conceptualization of nationalism, these women used their work of healing to create emotional bonds with soldiers and civilians from across the country that transcended the divides of social class, region, gender, and language.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In ‘I Succeeded Once’ – The Aboriginal Protectorate on the Mornington Peninsula, 1839-1840, Marie Fels makes the work of William Thomas accessible to anthropologists, archaeologists, historians and the descendants of the Aboriginal people he wrote about. More importantly, people who live, work, study, holiday or just have a general interest in the area from Melbourne to Point Nepean can learn about the original inhabitants who walked the land before it was cleared for agriculture and urban development. Of course, development of the Mornington Peninsula is ongoing and this book will help those involved in development or the management of Aboriginal cultural heritage to identify, document and protect Aboriginal places that may not be identifiable through archaeological investigations alone. Marie Fels supplements Thomas’s writings with other contemporary accounts and her exhaustive historical research sheds new light on critical events and the significant places of the Boon Wurrung people. Of particular importance is the critical review of information about the kidnapping of Boon Wurrung people from the Mornington Peninsula.

    Hindu Pluralism: Religion and the Public Sphere in Early Modern South India (2021)
    University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In Hindu Pluralism, Elaine M. Fisher complicates the traditional scholarly narrative of the unification of Hinduism. By calling into question the colonial categories implicit in the term “sectarianism,” Fisher’s work excavates the pluralistic textures of precolonial Hinduism in the centuries prior to British intervention. Drawing on previously unpublished sources in Sanskrit, Tamil, and Telugu, Fisher argues that the performance of plural religious identities in public space in Indian early modernity paved the way for the emergence of a distinctively non-Western form of religious pluralism. This work provides a critical resource for understanding how Hinduism developed in the early modern period, a crucial era that set the tenor for religion’s role in public life in India through the present day.

It provides a detailed study of the previously under-examined rock art of the Hawkesbury/Nepean area of New South Wales. The study presents a detailed historiography of Australian rock art research and, through the lens of landscape archaeology, offers an innovative contribution to rock art studies in the wider Sydney Basin. The volume’s theoretical focus on materiality, embodied practice and performance allows for the charting of ideational change and provides a unique contribution to the late Holocene archaeology of NSW and contact archaeology within Australia more broadly."

    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Que ce soit à travers l’étude de situations d’entreprise ou par le biais des thèmes revendicatifs, le contenu des revendications se transforme. Au-delà de la simple distinction entre revendications négociables ou non, l’auteur cherche à saisir en quoi, dans quelles circonstances précises, une revendication acquiert ou non la dimension d’un enjeu de politique économique, voire de société, et donc comment évoluent les relations de travail elles-mêmes. Elle montre comment, dans les deux champs de l’affrontement professionnel, celui du marchandage, celui des enjeux sociaux, s’instaure un équivalent général, substituable à tout autre thème revendicatif : dans le champ du marchandage, ce fut longtemps le salaire, mais son remplacement par le partage du travail semble se profiler. Dans le champ des enjeux sociaux, l’apparition d’un équivalent général politique pose des problèmes plus complexes, car ils dépassent largement l’action des seuls syndicats.

    Jules Émile Scrive. Carnets d’un patron lillois 1879-1891 (2022)
    Presses universitaires du Septentrion
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Quand, en 1894, le peintre Rémy Cooghe brosse son portrait, Jules Émile Scrive est âgé de 57 ans. Il exprime une bonhomie certaine que n’altère en rien le port altier de l’honnête homme sûr de son fait. On peine cependant à imaginer là une âme inquiète où le sentiment d’une honorabilité légitime s’accommode mal des tracas du quotidien et des interrogations sur le sens de l’existence. C’est pourtant ce que disent ses carnets, rédigés d’une écriture fine et serrée sur des pages pré-datées, finement quadrillées. Treize années durant, entre 1879 et 1891, cet industriel malgré lui, héritier d’une prestigieuse dynastie de l’histoire du textile lillois, y consigne tout ce qui, à ses yeux, mérite d’être retenu, depuis les petits riens de la vie, les couleurs et les saveurs de l’ordinaire jusqu’aux considérations sur le sens du temps qui passe, les mystères de la foi ou bien encore les soucis d’un fabricant de toiles aux prises avec une conjoncture morose. En nous faisant part des infinies facettes de son existence, ce notable se déplie ainsi sans risque, à l’abri du monde, pour produire une trace qui devient récit de vie. Si l’expérience transmise ici par l’un des « Maîtres du Nord » est par essence unique, ce n’est cependant pas au point d’interdire l’accès à l’universel par le singulier. Tout lecteur fera donc son miel d’un journal personnel qui, en relevant du for privé, constitue un observatoire privilégié quand il s’agit de restituer des manières d’être, de vivre et de penser d’un représentant de la bourgeoisie industrielle des dernières décennies du xixe siècle.

    The Emergence of Modern Hinduism (2021)
    University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The Emergence of Modern Hinduism argues for the importance of regional, vernacular innovation in processes of Hindu modernization. Scholars usually trace the emergence of modern Hinduism to cosmopolitan reform movements, highlighting the centrality of elite religion and the influence of Western ideas and models. This book proposes, instead, that important projects of modernity were pursued on the colonial margins, by actors deeply embedded in tradition and deploying all its resources as the key means for change, using texts and languages not associated with centralized power or national or global discourses. It focuses on one such figure, the Tamil Shaiva poet and mystic Ramalinga Swami (1823–1874). Ramalinga emphasized the continuities of tradition, new revelation, the possibility of the miraculous, and an ethics of inclusion that challenged caste and class boundaries. His vision provided a counterpoint to reform Hinduism, yet his projects were no less modern than their cosmopolitan counterparts. By including Ramalinga, and figures like him, in historical accounts of religious modernization, we can develop new ways of thinking about modern Hinduism that more accurately reflect its diverse ways of being modern. The book thus effects a fundamental shift in the way we conceptualize the emergence of modern religion, as well as the concept of the “modern” itself, in South Asia and beyond.

    Creating the Intellectual (2021)
    University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This book offers a new analysis of the intellectual and the Chinese socialist revolution. Under the Chinese Communist Party, the intellectual was never simply an outspoken scholar, a browbeaten artist, a supportive official, or any kind of person facing an increasingly powerful political regime. The intellectual was first and foremost a widening classification of people based on Marxist thought. As the party turned revolutionaries and otherwise perfectly ordinary people into subjects identified locally as intellectuals, their appearance profoundly affected the political thinking of the party elites and how they organized the revolution, as well as postrevolutionary Chinese society. Drawing on a wide range of data, Eddy U takes the reader on a fascinating journey that examines political discourses, revolutionary strategies, rural activities, official registrations, organized protests, work organizations, and theater productions. The book lays out in colorful details the formation of new identities and new patterns of organization, association, and calculus. The outcome is a compelling picture of the mutual constitution of the intellectual and the Chinese socialist revolution, the impact of which is still visible in globalized China.

    L’entreprise du duc d’Anjou aux Pays-Bas de 1580 à 1584 (2022)
    Presses universitaires du Septentrion
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Mort le 10 juin 1584 à vingt-neuf ans, François de Valois n’est souvent connu que par sa disparition car elle fit de Henri de Navarre le nouvel héritier du trône de France. Ce prince ambitieux joua pourtant un rôle politique important au cours de la période marquée par les affrontements religieux. Son action ne se limita pas seulement à la France, et on le vit intervenir à deux reprises aux Pays-Bas alors en révolte contre le roi d’Espagne. En 1580, les Etats Généraux lui envoyèrent une ambassade chargée de négocier un traité visant à le reconnaître comme nouveau souverain après la déchéance de Philippe II. Le traité de Plessis-ès-Tours fut signé le 19 septembre 1580. Le duc entra dans ses nouveaux Etats en février 1580. Mais moins d’un an plus tard, ce fut la rupture: essayant de prendre Anvers par la force, les Français en furent aussitôt chassés. La Furie française (17 janvier 1583), comme est appelé cet évènement, ne provoqua pas cependant la fin de son intervention. Jusqu’à la mort du duc, des négociations de réconciliation se poursuivirent. L’époque de cette intervention correspond à une époque charnière dans la révolte des Pays-Bas. Si désormais, la division entre provinces catholiques et protestantes était consommée, rien n’était encore joué en 1580. Quatre ans plus tard, les choses avaient changé, Alexandre Farnèse achevait la conquête de la Flandres et Anvers sentait déjà la menace peser sur elle. Ce contexte aide à expliquer la fin funeste de l’entreprise du duc d’Anjou, il lui est lié. Les causes de l’échec de François de Valois ne sont pas à chercher uniquement dans la personnalité du prince. Le personnage était complexe et il n’est pas toujours évident de suivre les motivations de son action. Malgré ses défauts, il n’est pas seul responsable de son insuccès. Les acteurs des évènements (Etats généraux, entourage du duc, roi de France, roi d’Espagne...) sont nombreux et, sciemment ou non, ils prennent tous une part dans le déroulement des évènements. Tel est le sujet de cet ouvrage. Mais il est aussi une illustration de la politique française à l’égard de l’Espagne, toujours prête à agir contre le puissant voisin, reculant cependant aussitôt que celui-ci se montre menaçant.

    Le pauvre et le sociologue : La construction de la tradition sociologique anglaise 19e-20e (2021)
    Presses universitaires du Septentrion
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: « Découverte » dans les années 1990, avec l'ascension d'Anthony Giddens, la sociologie anglaise avait jusque là évolué dans l'ombre de ses homologues américaine, allemande et française. Ce livre propose d'exhumer le passé méconnu de cette discipline qui s'est développée dans une large mesure à l'écart des institutions académiques. Retraçant deux siècles d'enquêtes et de recherches, il révèle la construction originale de cette sociologie, en relation étroite avec les problèmes de pauvreté et les politiques destinées à les combattre, de l'assistance publique au welfare state. C'est là, en effet, le creuset de son identité et la source de son étonnante fécondité, qui ne s'est jamais tarie depuis ses origines. Ce livre tente de restituer cette trajectoire singulière, mêlant étroitement science et politique sociales.

    Societies in Transition in Early Greece (2021)
    University of California Press | University of Illinois Press | University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Situated at the disciplinary boundary between prehistory and history, this book presents a new synthesis of Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age Greece, from the rise and fall of Mycenaean civilization to the emergence of city-states in the Archaic period. These centuries saw the growth and decline of varied political systems and the development of networks across local, regional, and Mediterranean scales. As a groundbreaking study of landscape, interaction, and sociopolitical change, Societies in Transition in Early Greece systematically bridges the divide between the Mycenaean period and the Archaic Greek world to shed new light on an often-overlooked period of world history. “This book reconfigures our understanding of early Greece on a regional level, beyond Mycenaean ‘palaces’ and across temporal boundaries. Alex Knodell’s sophisticated arguments enable a fresh reading of the emergence of early Greek polities, revealing the microregions that put to the test overarching ‘Mediterranean’ models. His detailed study makes a convincing return to a comparative framework, integrating a ‘small world’ network and its trajectory with the larger picture of ancient complex societies.” SARAH MORRIS, Steinmetz Professor of Classical Archaeology and Material Culture, University of California, Los Angeles “A comprehensive, thoughtful treatment of the time period before the crystallization of the ancient Greek city states.” WILLIAM A. PARKINSON, Curator and Professor, The Field Museum and University of Illinois at Chicago “An important and must-read account. The strength of this book lies in its close analysis of the important different regional characteristics and evolutionary trajectories of Greece as it transforms into the Archaic and, later, the Classical world.” DAVID B. SMALL, author Ancient Greece: Social Structure and Evolution

    Australian Clinical Legal Education: Designing and operating a best practice clinical program in an Australian law school (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Clinical legal education (CLE) is potentially the major disruptor of traditional law schools’ core functions. Good CLE challenges many central clichés of conventional learning in law—everything from case book method to the 50-minute lecture. And it can challenge a contemporary overemphasis on screen-based learning, particularly when those screens only provide information and require no interaction. Australian Clinical Legal Education comes out of a thorough research program and offers the essential guidebook for anyone seeking to design and redesign accountable legal education; that is, education that does not just transform the learner, but also inculcates in future lawyers a compassion for and service of those whom the law ought to serve. Established law teachers will come to grips with the power of clinical method. Law students struggling with overly dry conceptual content will experience the connections between skills, the law and real life. Regulators will look again at law curricula and ask law deans ‘when’?

    The Pitfalls of Protection: Gender, Violence, and Power in Afghanistan (2021)
    University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Since the 2001 overthrow of the Taliban government in Afghanistan, violence against women has emerged as the single most important issue for Afghan gender politics. The Pitfalls of Protection, based on research conducted in Afghanistan between 2009 and 2015, locates the struggles over gender violence in local and global power configurations. Torunn Wimpelmann finds that aid flows and geopolitics have served as both opportunities for and obstacles to feminist politics in Afghanistan. Showing why Afghan activists often chose to use the leverage of Western powers instead of entering into either protracted negotiations with powerful national actors or broad political mobilization, this book examines both the achievements and the limits of this strategy.

    Public Goods Provision in the Early Modern Economy (2021)
    University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Historically, for sustaining and reproducing their economic lives, people have obtained goods and services through various ways. How did people tackle issues that the market did not handle well? This volume compares early modern efforts to provide “public goods”—defined in contraposition to market-mediated goods and goods provided through personal relations, such as kinship ties. We examine poverty and famine relief, infrastructure building, and forestry management in East Asia and Europe, using Japan’s Tokugawa era (1603–1868) as a benchmark from which consider the cases in Prussia, China, and England. Taking advantage of rich scholarship on the role of autonomous village and regional society in Japan’s early modern history, the volume highlights the diverse approaches to providing public goods across societies, relativizing the discussion on the formation of fiscal state drawn from the experience in “advanced” Western Europe, and it constructs the beginnings of an early modern basis for forecasting the diversity in public-goods provision future into the modern and contemporary periods.

    Possible Histories (2023)
    University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Many Syrians who immigrated to the US beginning in the 1870s worked as peddlers. Traveling enabled men to transgress Syrian norms related to marriage, while Syrian women’s roles in peddling led to more economic autonomy. In Possible Histories, Charlotte Karem Albrecht explores this peddling economy to reveal the sexual ideologies imbricated in Arab American racial histories. Possible Histories marshals a queer affective approach to community and family history to show how Syrian immigrant peddlers and their networks of labor and care appeared in interconnected discourses of modernity, sexuality, gender, class, and race. Karem Albrecht theorizes this profession, and its place in Arab American historiography, as a “queer ecology” of laboring practices, intimacies, and knowledge production. This book ultimately proposes a new understanding of the long arm of Arab American history that puts sexuality and gender at the heart of ways of navigating US racial systems. “Possible Histories brings an innovative queer analytic to Arab American history, inquiring into the intimate relationships among itinerant peddlers. Uncovering the role of sexuality in racializing Arab Americans, it challenges respectability politics and brilliantly upends reigning paradigms in Arab American history.” — EVELYN ALSULTANY, author of Broken: The Failed Promise of Muslim Inclusion “A deeply personal queer history that is brisk, unsettling, and brimming with insights. Puzzling through gossip, shame, and scandal, Charlotte Karem Albrecht offers an astounding kaleidoscope of Arab Americans in the twentieth century.” — NAYAN SHAH, author of Refusal to Eat: A Century of Prison Hunger Strikes “Possible Histories is a rich contribution to queer theorizing on kinship, archives, and diaspora. In this moving tribute to the challenges and traps of recovery work, Karem Albrecht traverses the maze of memory and family with care and thoughtfulness.” — JASBIR PUAR, Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Rutgers University

    Description: "This book is inspired by the University of the South Pacific, the leading institution of higher education in the Pacific Islands region. Founded in 1968, USP has expanded the intellectual horizons of generations of students from its 12 member countries—Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu—and been responsible for the formation of a regional elite of educated Pacific Islanders who can be found in key positions in government and commerce across the region. At the same time, this book celebrates the collaboration of USP with The Australian National University in research, doctoral training, teaching and joint activities. Twelve of our 19 contributors gained their doctorates at ANU, most of them before or after being students and/or teaching staff at USP, and the remaining five embody the cross-fertilisation in teaching, research and consultancy of the two institutions. The contributions to this collection, with a few exceptions, are republications of key articles on the Pacific Islands by scholars with extensive experience and knowledge of the region."

    Competing for Influence (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: "Amidst growing dissatisfaction with the state of government performance and an erosion of trust in our political class, Competing for Influence asks: what sort of public service do we want in Australia? Drawing on his experience in both the public and private sectors – and citing academic research across the fields of public sector management, industrial organisation, and corporate strategy – Barry Ferguson argues the case for the careful selection and application of private sector management concepts to the public service, both for their ability to strengthen the public service and inform public policy. These include competitive advantage, competitive positioning, horizontal strategy and organisational design, and innovation as an all-encompassing organisational adjustment mechanism to a changeable environment. But these are not presented as a silver bullet, and Ferguson addresses other approaches to reform, including the need to rebuild the Public Sector Act, the need to reconsider the interface between political and administrative arms of government (and determine what is in the ‘public interest’), and the need for greater independence for the public service within a clarified role. This approach, and its implications for public sector reform, is contrasted with the straitjacket of path dependency that presently constricts the field."
