Book Synopsis Experiencing Dominion by : Thomas W. Gallant
Download or read book Experiencing Dominion written by Thomas W. Gallant and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2002-06-07 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiencing Dominion contributes to ongoing debates on hegemony, power, and identity in contemporary historical and anthropological literature through an examination of the imperial encounter between the British and the Greeks of the Ionian Islands during the nineteenth century. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of the imperial encounter, with topics including identity construction, the contestation over civil society, gender and the manipulation of public space, hegemony and accommodation, the role of law and of the institutions of criminal justice, and religion and imperial dominion. Thomas Gallant—widely recognized as one of the leading scholars in historical anthropology— argues that a great deal can be learned about colonialism in general through an analysis of the Ionian Islands, precisely because that colonial encounter was so atypical. For example, Gallant demonstrates that because the Ionian Greeks were racially white, Christian, and descendents of Europe’s classical forebears, the process of colonial identity formation was more ambiguous and complex than elsewhere in the Empire where physical and cultural distinctions were more obvious. Colonial officers finally decided the Ionian Greeks were “Mediterranean Irish” who should be treated like European savages. Experiencing Dominion pushes contemporary literature on historical anthropology in a new direction by moving the discussion away from an emphasis on a simple polarity between hegemony and resistance, and instead focusing on the shared interactions between colonizers and colonized, rulers and ruled, foreigners and locals. In this important study, Gallant emphasizes contingency and historical agency, examines intentionality, and explores the processes of accommodation and, when warranted, resistance. In so doing, he reconstructs the world Britons and Greeks made together on the Ionian Islands during the nineteenth century through their shared experience of dominion.
Book Synopsis Carnival and Power by : Vicki Ann Cremona
Download or read book Carnival and Power written by Vicki Ann Cremona and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how Carnival under British colonial rule became a locus of resistance as well as an exercise and affirmation of power. Carnival is both a space of theatricality and a site of politics, where the playful, participatory aspects are appropriated by countervailing forces seeking to influence, control, channel or redirect power. Focusing specifically on the Maltese islands, a tiny European archipelago situated at the heart of the Mediterranean, this work links the contrast between play and power to other Carnival realities across the world. It examines the question of power and identity in relation to different social classes and environments of Carnival play, from streets to ballrooms. It looks at satire and censorship, unbridled gaiety and controlled celebration. It describes the ways Carnival was appropriated as a power channel both by the British and their Maltese subjects, and ultimately how it was manipulated in the struggle for Malta’s independence.
Book Synopsis Who Saved the Parthenon? by : William St Clair
Download or read book Who Saved the Parthenon? written by William St Clair and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2022-05-26 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this magisterial book, William St Clair unfolds the history of the Parthenon throughout the modern era to the present day, with special emphasis on the period before, during, and after the Greek War of Independence of 1821–32. Focusing particularly on the question of who saved the Parthenon from destruction during this conflict, with the help of documents that shed a new light on this enduring question, he explores the contributions made by the Philhellenes, Ancient Athenians, Ottomans and the Great Powers. Marshalling a vast amount of primary evidence, much of it previously unexamined and published here for the first time, St Clair rigorously explores the multiple ways in which the Parthenon has served both as a cultural icon onto which meanings are projected and as a symbol of particular national, religious and racial identities, as well as how it illuminates larger questions about the uses of built heritage. This book has a companion volume with the classical Parthenon as its main focus, which offers new ways of recovering the monument and its meanings in ancient times. St Clair builds on the success of his classic text, The Reading Nation in the Romantic Period, to present this rich and authoritative account of the Parthenon’s presentation and reception throughout history. With weighty implications for the present life of the Parthenon, it is itself a monumental contribution to accounts of the Greek Revolution, to classical studies, and to intellectual history.
Book Synopsis The Colonial Administrations of Sir Thomas Maitland by : C. Willis Dixon
Download or read book The Colonial Administrations of Sir Thomas Maitland written by C. Willis Dixon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1939, this volume describes many of the more colourful episodes in the career of Sir Thomas Maitland, while, in its account of his role as governor, it makes a valuable contribution to the study of early colonial history. Maitland was one of the most important figures in the formative period of the colonial administrative service during and immediately after the Napoleonic Wars. After a distinguished military career, he had two long periods of office in Ceylon, from 1805 to 1811, and from 1813 until his death in 1824 he acted as Governor of Malta and then of the Ionian Islands, where he made a lasting reputation for his vigour and honesty, as well as for his autocratic methods of administration which brought him to be popularly regarded as a tyrant.

Download or read book Anatolica written by Richard Clogg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1996 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until 1923 there were large Greek populations outside the boundaries of the Greek state in many areas of the Near and Middle East. These constituted what the Greeks term I kath'imas Anatoli ('our East') and were the focus for the Megali Idea, the 'Great Idea' of incorporating the Greeks of the region within a single state, with Constantiople as its capital. Professor Clogg deals here with the history of this Greek East in the 18th and 19th centuries and at the same time makes a contribution to the study of the Ottoman world within which they lived. The opening articles examine how these communities were defined, in religious terms (many were Turkish-speaking), and their organisation as part of the Ottoman system of government. Further studies then look at factors, economic, intellectual and messianic, which contributed to the emergence of the Greek state and its expansionist aspirations, and at aspects of religious history, including Protestant missionary activity and the Orthodox reaction to Enlightenment thought.

Download or read book Graecomania written by Gilbert Hess and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seit der Klassik und Winckelmanns wirkmächtigen Studien zur Kunstgeschichte bilden die drei Topoi "Griechische Antike", "Kunst" und "Freiheit" eine imaginäre Einheit, die geradezu divinatorische Züge annehmen konnte und ein Modell des klassisch inspirierten Kulturstaates zu begründen half. Im Umfeld des griechischen Freiheitskampfes verband sich dieses ästhetische Ideal mit einer virulent politischen Dimension: Der 1821 ausbrechende Aufstand gegen die Osmanen schürte die Hoffnung, ein neues und freies Griechenland als europäischen Modellstaat errichten zu können. Im Schnittpunkt unterschiedlicher Diskurse gelegen, konnten die Ereignisse im Zeichen des Philhellenismus in gleicher Weise als Glaubenskrieg des Christentums gegen den Islam, als Aufbegehren eines unterdrückten Volkes gegen die Obrigkeit (und damit als Projektionsfläche demokratischer Wunschvorstellungen im bürgerlichen Vormärz) sowie als vermeintliche Renaissance eines antiken Idealzustands gesehen werden. Die Verbindung klassizistischer und romantischer Ideale initiierte ebenso wie der gezielte Einsatz unterschiedlicher Medien eine stände- und schichtenübergreifende Wirksamkeit und ermöglichte eine bislang ungekannte Massenmobilisierung, die in einer kaum überschaubaren Menge literarischer und künstlerischer Erzeugnisse ihren Niederschlag fand. Der interdisziplinär angelegte Band mit Beiträgen aus Frankreich, Italien, den USA und Deutschland analysiert die Bedeutung des Philhellenismus für die Ausbildung eines ästhetisch-kulturellen Europagedankens und untersucht vergleichend seine Rezeptionsgeschichte in den europäischen Ländern.
