Passion and Ambivalence: Colonialism, Nationalism, and International Law: Legal History Library / Studies in the History of International Law, cartea 6/3

Autor Nathaniel Berman Contribuţii de Emmanuelle Jouannet Traducere de Euan MacDonald
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 dec 2011
Ethnic, nationalist, and religious conflicts and debates about international intervention have been central global preoccupations of the past hundred years. Such debates, this volume argues, were first framed in their modern form during the interwar period, when a “Modernist break” (akin to that in literature, philosophy, and the arts) transformed the way such conflicts were viewed. Internationalists began to cast identity-based claims — whether those of anti-colonialists or European separatists — not only as mortal dangers to international order but as indispensable to its revitalization. Drawing on cultural studies, postcolonial theory, and psychoanalysis — with case studies ranging from 1930s Ethiopia to 1990s Jerusalem — this volume looks at both the origins and legacy of these debates, offering a radical reinterpretation of modern internationalism.

Recenzii

"[...] [P]athbreaking interventions that have had wide influence and we are fortunate tot have these gathered together in a single volume. In addition, collectively, these interventions enact a distinct presence that is even more than the sum of its parts." – Dr. Vasuki Nesiah, in: Global Law Books, 19.4.2013
"Berman’s work counts among the most exciting and important scholarship to have come out of the discipline over the last two decades. Berman [...] has found a unique approach to his themes by incorporating impulses from cultural studies, psychoanalysis and postcolonial theory into a close scrutiny of archival files and data material." – Alexandra Kemmerer, in: Transnational Legal Theory 3/1 (2012), pp. 87–94
