Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Contemporary Review, Vol. 46: July-December, 1884 Such was the Egyptian question at the beginning, and it has never lost the character it then acquired. Egyptwas conceived both by English and French statesmen to have an importance altogether distinct from commercial considerations. It was regarded as a possible base of operations for hostile enterprises in the East. The nation which managed to get possession of it would be half-way on the road to India. Transports or ships of war starting from the ports of the Red Sea would be able to reach Bombay before the fleet sent to encounter them had doubled the Cape Circumstances have so changed that these ideas seem ridiculous, but it should be remembered that France once fought with na in India on equal terms, and that at one time it seemed doubtful on which side the balance would incline. When Napoleon landed 1n Egypt, only a tew years had passed since the appearance of a French emissary in India had given the signal for a war which raged from Bohilcund to the Carnatic. The intelligence that war was declared between France and England, on the strength of which Warren Hating! Determined to forestall his adversary, reached him from the British Consul at Cairo. The importance of Egypt as afl'ording a means of quicker communication with India first dawned upon na with the establishment of the overland route. The construction of a railway to Suez, and the project of cutting a canal through the isthmus, brought commercial interests still more prominently into the foreground. There need have been no international rivalry 111 the canal; but the rivalry already existed, and was at once associated with the new enterprise. Thenceforth the political question and the commercial question became one, and a higher premium than M was put upon the acquisition of a preponderating influence in Egypt.

Book Synopsis Borders and Borderlands in Contemporary Culture by : Aoileann Ní Éigeartaigh
Download or read book Borders and Borderlands in Contemporary Culture written by Aoileann Ní Éigeartaigh and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is entirely appropriate that this book should be produced in Dundalk. Located on the Northern rim of the Irish Pale, this town has straddled a border for centuries. Over the past thirty years, it has come to be closely identified with violent Republicanism both by the Unionist community in Northern Ireland and by Constitutional Nationalists in the South. Against such a hostile background academics attached to the Institute of Technology there have bravely confronted and interrogated these processes which have so blighted the history not only of Dundalk but of places and spaces throughout the world similarly located. In a wide-ranging series of articles, perhaps the strongest message to emerge is that of border as limitation. The notion of border as a liminal space where worlds converge, new realities emerge and transcendence is possible rarely surfaces. Instead, the border as a physical manifestation of divisiveness is repeatedly explored. In a passionate statement of solidarity with the Palestinians, Lavalette describes the construction of the apartheid wall: “The wall is eight feet high and has a watchtower every three hundred metres. Although there are no maps, it is thought it could end up being close to one thousand kilometres in length by the time it is completed” (p. 18). Yndigegn shows how spatial borders gradually become mental borders such that, as visual borders disappear, new invisible borders appear (p. 33). The article explores the dualism of borders—simultaneously protecting those inside from external threats while also preventing those inside from reaching or engaging with the outside world. Ni Eigeartaigh takes up the duality theme in the exploration of individualism as a process either of liberation or one of alienation. Taking the title from an aphorism of Kafka’s “My Prison Cell, My Fortress”, she explores a view of contemporary society as repressive, and of its inhabitants as complicit in the repression. Drawing on a wide span of literature and disciplines, she teases through the paradox of contemporary society that the freedom gained from the liberation of the individual from communal obligations and repression has resulted in a loss of identity and an overwhelming sense of isolation and powerlessness. She concludes that in the “absence of a restrictive system of social control, the individual is forced to take responsibility for his own actions….It is to avoid this responsibility that many…choose the security of the prison cell above the hardship of the outside world.” Her paper does not go on to look at the potential role of the State or of fundamentalist movements in playing on the fear and disconnectedness of the citizenry as an equally likely outcome to that of a stronger capability for personal responsibility. One could argue for instance that the Euoropean Fascist movement and the Nationalist movement of the early- to mid-twentieth century were both based precisely on the dislocation at personal and social level resulting from the breakdown of pre-industrial communitarian ties. While there is no attempt in the book to elucidate any particular developmental relationship between the different contributors, two broad themes may be detected—a concern with borders as socio-political and geographical constructs on the one hand and a concern with the formation of identity in the individual’s relationship to the wider society on the other. Some light is cast on the latter issue by de Gregorio-Godeo who posits discourse as a core concept in identity formation. This leads to the conclusion that individual identity, in this case individualism, is in fact socially constructed in a “dialectical interplay between the discursive and the social identities included—so that they are mutually shaped by each other” (p.93). Using critical discourse analysis, he goes on to explore changing notions of masculinity as evidenced in the Health sections of men’s magazines.

Book Synopsis State-Society Relations and Confucian Revivalism in Contemporary China by : Qin Pang
Download or read book State-Society Relations and Confucian Revivalism in Contemporary China written by Qin Pang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-25 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of the causes of the Confucian revival and the party-state’s response in China today. It concentrates on the interactions between state and society, and the implications for the Chinese state’s control over society, or in other words, its survival over a rapidly modernizing society. The book explores the answers to questions such as: Why has Confucianism suddenly gathered great momentum in contemporary Chinese society? What is the role of the Chinese state in its rise? Is the state really the orchestrator of the Confucian revival as has been widely assumed? This book will be of interest to think-tank and policy researchers, sinologists, and those with an interest in Chinese society.
