Book Synopsis Counter-hegemony and the Postcolonial 'other' by : Mícheál Ó hAodha
Download or read book Counter-hegemony and the Postcolonial 'other' written by Mícheál Ó hAodha and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume hopes to act as a catalyst for some new and exciting areas of enquiry in the more â oeliminalâ interstices of Irish Studies. Traveller Studies, Romani Studies and Diaspora and Migration Studies. These disciplines are all relatively new areas of enquiry in modern Ireland, a country whose society has witnessed very rapid and wide-ranging cultural and demographic change within the short space of a decade. The issue of multiculturalism is not one which is particularly new to Irish society as a number of contributors to this volume point out. What is new however is an increased acknowledgement of diversity and multiculturalism in Ireland and Europe as a whole. Such an acknowledgement makes increased dialogue between â oemainstreamâ society, older minorities such as the Irish Travellers and the many newer immigrant communities such as the Roma all the more necessary. For such constructive dialogue to take place it is vital that the voices of Travellers and Roma are listened to and that their distinctive worldview be given due acknowledgement and respect. It is hoped that this volume will go some way towards the development of such a process.

Book Synopsis The Postcolonial Gramsci by : Neelam Srivastava
Download or read book The Postcolonial Gramsci written by Neelam Srivastava and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of Antonio Gramsci’s work for postcolonial studies can hardly be exaggerated, and in this volume, contributors situate Gramsci's work in the vast and complex oeuvre of postcolonial studies. Specifically, this book endeavors to reassess the impact on postcolonial studies of the central role assigned by Gramsci to culture and literature in the formation of a truly revolutionary idea of the national—a notion that has profoundly shaped the thinking of both Frantz Fanon and Edward Said. Gramsci, as Iain Chambers has argued, has been instrumental in helping scholars rethink their understanding of historical, political, and cultural struggle by substituting the relationship between tradition and modernity with that of subaltern versus hegemonic parts of the world. Combining theoretical reflections and re-interpretations of Gramsci, the scholars in this collection present comparative geo-cultural perspectives on the meaning of the subaltern, passive revolution, hegemony, and the concept of national-popular culture in order to chart out a political map of the postcolonial through the central focus on Gramsci.

Book Synopsis Globalization and Postcolonialism by : Sankaran Krishna
Download or read book Globalization and Postcolonialism written by Sankaran Krishna and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization has become a widely used buzzword, yet popular discussions often miss its deeper realities. This book offers the first clear explanation of the impact of colonialist legacies in a globalized era defined by the "War on Terror." Sankaran Krishna explores the history of the relationship between Western dominance and the forms of resistance that have emerged to challenge it. He argues that we live on an interrelated globe, that history matters a great deal in constructing contemporary realities, and that others create narratives about the world based on their experiences just as we do based on ours. Presenting a lucid exploration of the intertwined histories of both globalization and postcolonialism, this book uses compelling real-world examples to make sense of this crucial relationship.
Book Synopsis Postcolonial States and Internet Governance by : Abu Jafar Md Shafiul Alam Bhuiyan
Download or read book Postcolonial States and Internet Governance written by Abu Jafar Md Shafiul Alam Bhuiyan and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of the postcolonial states (PSs) is under-theorized in contemporary global communication studies. This dissertation broadens our understanding about the role of such states by assessing the positions of China, India, Brazil, South Africa, Iran, Tunisia and Cuba on global Internet policy issues in comparison to those of the other stakeholders (e.g. the U.S., the EU, civil society and businesses) at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). It argues that global Internet policy making in issues such as U.S. control, digital divide, intellectual property right, multilingualism and security is a power struggle between the U.S. and the PSs. The PSs oppose U.S. power in global Internet policy-making. Businesses, representing the transnational capitalist class (TCC), buttress the U.S., while civil society plays a variable role. Non-state actors' influence on global communication policy-making has increased, but states still hold decision-making power. This study argues that the PSs show ambivalence in their opposition to the U.S. They oppose U.S. power in global Internet policy-making, but not its ideological foundation--neoliberalism. This behavior eventuates as a result of their adoption of neoliberal means (e.g. privatization, liberalization etc) in managing the economic and communication sectors, including the Internet, at the national level. They oppose the U.S. to become a partner in the U.S. constructed mode of global Internet policy-making but not to create a true alternative to the existing ICANN mode of global Internet policy-making. Their ambivalence led them stage a limited resistance to U.S. control over global Internet policy-making. This study demonstrates that the PSs have common grounds in challenging U.S. control over global Internet policy-making, but they are yet to develop as a counter-hegemonic bloc. To emerge as a counter-hegemonic bloc, they need to present an alternative framework which will guide ways to radically democratize global Internet policy-making. Only radically democratized PSs may be able to develop that alternative.
Book Synopsis Margin of Margin by : Ajit Chaudhury
Download or read book Margin of Margin written by Ajit Chaudhury and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It all started with two small papers by the first author of this book. The first one was "From Hegemony to Counter Hegemony/A Journey in a Non-Imaginary Unreal Space" published in Economic and Political Weekly, 1988. Chapter Three and a half of this book records a part of the history: how the paper was not read. A few months went by, another effort followed. In the form of a cheap dot-matrix printout in archaic-looking courier-new a typed paper distributed in private circles. "Mimicry of Overdetermination, Synthetic Hegemony, and Margin of Margin: Three Key-concepts: An Intercontinental Ballistic Missile for Third World Studies". History repeated itself. Would history repeat again for this book too? We do not know. Maybe not, we will wait for that. (We can think. We can wait. We can fast.) Indeed we did fast for long years. And then God sent His angels for help: Jack Amariglio, Zahiruddin Mohammed Alim, Masato Aoki, Enid Arvidson, Antonio Callari, Steve Cullenberg, Jonathan Diskin, Julie Graham, Bruce Roberts. Without their minute reviews of the five articles published in "Rethinking Marxism", the content of the pages that follow could never find a book form and would have forever remained what many people call the ravings of a few cranks. Lastly, no word of thanks can express our debt to Richard Wolff who explored the third stream writing in Calcutta and put his money on the dark horses that drive the chariot of this book. We dedicate this book to him.
Book Synopsis Dominance Without Hegemony by : Ranajit Guha
Download or read book Dominance Without Hegemony written by Ranajit Guha and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is colonialism and what is a colonial state? Ranajit Guha points out that the colonial state in South Asia was fundamentally different from the metropolitan bourgeois state which sired it. The metropolitan state was hegemonic in character, and its claim to dominance was based on a power relation in which persuasion outweighed coercion. Conversely, the colonial state was non-hegemonic, and in its structure of dominance coercion was paramount. Indeed, the originality of the South Asian colonial state lay precisely in this difference: a historical paradox, it was an autocracy set up and sustained in the East by the foremost democracy of the Western world. It was not possible for that non-hegemonic state to assimilate the civil society of the colonized to itself. Thus the colonial state, as Guha defines it in this closely argued work, was a paradox--a dominance without hegemony. Dominance without Hegemony had a nationalist aspect as well. This arose from a structural split between the elite and subaltern domains of politics, and the consequent failure of the Indian bourgeoisie to integrate vast areas of the life and consciousness of the people into an alternative hegemony. That predicament is discussed in terms of the nationalist project of anticipating power by mobilizing the masses and producing an alternative historiography. In both endeavors the elite claimed to speak for the people constituted as a nation and sought to challenge the pretensions of an alien regime to represent the colonized. A rivalry between an aspirant to power and its incumbent, this was in essence a contest for hegemony.
Book Synopsis Beyond Postcolonial Theory by : NA NA
Download or read book Beyond Postcolonial Theory written by NA NA and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opposing the orthodoxies of establishment postcolonialism, Beyond Postcolonial Theory posits acts of resistance and subversion by people of color as central to the unfolding dialogue with Western hegemony. The testimonies and signifying practices of Rigoberta Menchu, C.L.R. James, various "minority" writers in the United States, and intellectuals from Africa, Latin America, and Asia are counterposed against the dogmas of contingency, borderland nomadism, panethnicity, and the ideology of identity politics and transcultural postmodern pastiche. Reappropriating ideas from Gramsci, Bakhtin, Althusser, Freire, and others in the radical democratic tradition, San Juan deploys them to recover the memory of national liberation struggles (Fanon, Cabral, Che Guevara) on the face of the triumphal march of globalized capitalism.

Book Synopsis Hegemony and World Order by : Piotr Dutkiewicz
Download or read book Hegemony and World Order written by Piotr Dutkiewicz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hegemony and World Order explores a key question for our tumultuous times of multiple global crises. Does hegemony – that is, legitimated rule by dominant power – have a role in ordering world politics of the twenty-first century? If so, what form does that hegemony take: does it lie with a leading state or with some other force? How does contemporary world hegemony operate: what tools does it use and what outcomes does it bring? This volume addresses these questions by assembling perspectives from various regions across the world, including Canada, Central Asia, China, Europe, India, Russia and the USA. The contributions in this book span diverse theoretical perspectives from realism to postcolonialism, as well as multiple issue areas such as finance, the Internet, migration and warfare. By exploring the role of non-state actors, transnational networks, and norms, this collection covers various standpoints and moves beyond traditional concepts of state-based hierarches centred on material power. The result is a wealth of novel insights on today's changing dynamics of world politics. Hegemony and World Order is critical reading for policymakers and advanced students of International Relations, Global Governance, Development, and International Political Economy.
