This essay gives an overview of the most important works on the Russian war memory, from the almost complete silence on the war in late Stalinism and the war cult of the Brezhniev era to the 'uncovering of blank spots' during the Perestroika. The essay points out that for many of the soldiers, the war was a 'sovietizing' experience; paradoxically, however, it also encouraged resistance to the Stalinist dictatorship. The essay does not only help to understand how the war could be understood as a 'second foundation' of the Soviet Union, but also sheds light on the general relation between power and memory in Soviet history.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2009 in the subject History Europe - Other Countries - Modern Times, Absolutism, Industrialization, European University Institute (Department of History, Florenz), language: English, abstract: There are few topics that have been as present in post-Soviet histories as empire and its aftermath. Tales of century-long Russia oppression have become core elements of many historical narratives in the former Soviet republics. In Western European scholarship concepts from imperial history and post-colonial studies have had a big influence on the historiography of Russia and the Soviet Union. However, these are recent phenomena: in most histories of Russia, written in Russia or the Soviet Union itself as well as in the West before 1991, empire has been left out to an astonishing degree. Only for the Soviet Union the so-called 'nationality question' was a larger topic, appearing in Soviet praise for the 'friendship of the peoples' or condemnation of 'anti-Soviet nationalism' and 'Great-Russian chauvinism'. This essay picks up on some of these issues and looks at how various scholars interested in the imperial aspects of Russian history have put them into a comparative perspective. Although the number of works is still limited, especially compared to the huge number of studies on different Western European empires, it is possible to draw some general conclusions. This will also be helpful in considering to what extent Russian experiences could reflect back on more general theories of empire or post-colonial studies.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2006 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: 1,3 (A- in the American system), University of California, Berkeley (Department of Political Science), course: Course in development politics (Prof. Kiren Chaudhry), language: English, abstract: Attempts to understand the transformation processes in the developing world have often led to a closer examination of Europe's and America's own history, as many theories of development suggest a specific interpretation of these histories: Modernization theorists, for example, see Europe's and America's history mainly as a straightforward progression towards welfare and democracy, eclipsing the aspects that do not fit into this picture, like the World Wars or the American Civil War. Therefore, although Karl Polanyi's 'The Great Transformation' treats mainly historical events in Europe, it can at the same time be an important contribution to our understanding of the economic and social transformations in the developing world. In this essay, I will first try to make clear, what assumptions underlie Polanyi's argument and what he means by the notion of 'market society'. I will proceed in three steps: first, I will explore the different roles that the economy, according to Polanyi, plays in capitalist and pre-capitalist societies; I will look then at the historical processes that led to the rise of a 'market society'. Finally, I will discuss the political reactions to these processes which can be characterized, in Polanyi's view, by a 'double movement'.As Polanyi is one of the most important critics of economic liberalism, it is helpful to compare his account of the 'Great Transformation' to a second, even more influential anti-liberal perspective, Marxism. Apart from some similarities, the fundamental difference seems to be that Polanyi does not give a positive account of modernization. This leads to the question, how Polanyi's theories can improve our understanding of development today. I will mainly argue that although Polanyi gives an impressive account of the limits of a market economy, his treatment of politics is much too loose to be convincing. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2009 in the subject History - Basics, European University Institute (Department of History, Florenz), language: English, abstract: This text discusses the role of culture in the history of European colonialism. It takes Said's notion of 'Orientalism' as a starting point. It then discusses two very different books that have tried to make Said's notion useful for the study of concrete colonial situations: Christopher Bayly's 'Empire and Information', and Nicholas Dirks' 'Castes of Mind'. Whereas Bayly's concept of an 'information order' tries to undermine ideas about a European hegemony of knowledge, Dirks stresses the far-reaching influence European concepts had even on post-colonial notions of caste in India.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Philosophy - Theoretical (Realisation, Science, Logic, Language), grade: A- (=1,25), University of California, Berkeley (Department of Philosophy), course: Collective Intentionality (John Searle), language: English, abstract: Free will is one of the most fundamental presuppositions that we make in our everyday lives. At the same time, free will belongs to the concepts that are most difficult to integrate into a scientific idea of how the world works. This contrast has haunted philosophers for centuries, and although it seems that almost everything has already been said about this topic, there has been an animated debate in recent decades. In this paper, I would like to consider two of the positions adopted in this debate.At first, I would like to explore John Searle's interpretation of free will as a sequence of several moments of indeterminacy ('gaps') between the reasons for our actions and the actions themselves. I think the best way to understand his conception is to see it as an attempt to unite two different ideas about the relation between reasons and actions. On the one hand, the realist conception of Searle's philosophy presupposes that the reasons for our actions must have real causal power and are not only post facto justifications. On the other hand, Searle's understanding of rationality implies that reasons alone cannot be sufficient causes. In 'Rationality in Action' Searle tries to bring both ideas together through the notion of an agent-self. I will argue that this attempt is problematic, not only because it leads our conception of free will towards a very unsatisfying choice between epiphenomenalism and natural indeterminism, but also because Searle cannot explain convincingly how the existence of indeterminacy in our brains could explain free will.The second part of the paper is an attempt to develop an alternative notion of free will, relying on two influential articles by Harry Frankfurt and Peter Strawson. The basic idea is that when we are interested in free will, we are not primarily interested in causal origins, but in self-determination, which is also the main presupposition in the practice of holding people responsible. With this perspective in mind, I will finally return to the questions of the natural foundations of free will and its compatibility with a deterministic conception of nature.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - and. Länder - Mittelalter, Frühe Neuzeit, Note: 1,0, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg (Historisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft in den oberitalienischen Städten, 27 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich hauptsächlich mit Genua, enthält aber immer wieder Verweise auf die Situation in anderen italienischen Städten im Mittelalter. Neben einem Literaturverzeichnis enthält sie auch eine umfangreiche Bibliografie mit zahlreichen Titeln zu Sklaverei und Sklavenhandel in Italien und anderen Regionen Europas, deswegen ist die Arbeit auch für über das eigentliche Thema hinausgehende Recherchen eine nützliche Hilfe. , Abstract: Alleine im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert verschleppten die spanischen Eroberer 600000 Afrikaner in ihre amerikanischen Kolonien. In den Südstaaten der USA, deren Wirtschaft entscheidend vom Einsatz von Sklaven abhing, blieb die Sklaverei bis 1865 bestehen. Die Folgen sind in den betroffenen Ländern bis heute zu spüren. Doch wie konnten Kolumbus und seine Nachfolger überhaupt annehmen, es sei normal, Menschen wie eine beliebige Ware zu handeln Die Antwort ist einfach: Im Genua des 15. Jahrhunderts, in dem Kolumbus aufgewachsen war, und in vielen Gegenden des Mittelmeerraums waren Sklaverei und Sklavenhandel alltägliche Phänomene mit einer jahrhundertelangen Tradition. Mit dieser Tradition und ihrer Entwicklung vom 12. bis zum 15. Jahrhundert wird sich die vorliegende Hausarbeit beschäftigen. Die mittelalterliche Sklaverei war in der mediävistischen Forschung, von einigen Ausnahmen abgesehen, erst ab den 60er Jahren und verstärkt ab Mitte der 90er Jahre ein Thema. Im Geschichtsbewusstsein einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit ist sie noch lange nicht angekommen. Ein Grund dafür dürfte sein, dass die Sklaverei nicht in das verbreitete Bild eines christlichen Mittelalters passt. Außerdem hat wohl der Einfluss marxistischer Vorstellungen, die eine Trennung von antiker Sklavenhaltergesellschaft und mittelalterlicher Feudalgesellschaft vorsehen, eine Rolle gespielt. Hinzu kommen begriffliche Probleme: Im Mittelalter existierten sehr verschiedene Formen von persönlicher Unfreiheit, von denen die Sklaverei nur schwer abgegrenzt werden kann. Deswegen wird eine Erläuterung der wichtigsten Quellenbegriffe am Anfang dieser Arbeit stehen. Im zweiten Teil werde ich dann aus einer sozial- und wirtschaftsgeschichtlichen Perspektive Art und Umfang der mittelalterlichen Sklaverei und des Sklavenhandels zu bestimmen versuchen. Im letzten Teil wird es um das Verhältnis der Kirche und mittelalterlicher Glaubensvorstellungen zur Sklaverei gehen. Der Schwerpunkt der Arbeit wird auf der Situation in Genua liegen. Wo es die Quellenlage erfordert, werde ich aber auch auf andere Städte wie Florenz oder Venedig eingehen, in denen die Verhältnisse ähnlich waren.…
