The Representation of External Threats: From the Middle Ages to the Modern World de Eberhard Crailsheim

The Representation of External Threats: From the Middle Ages to the Modern World: History of Warfare, cartea 123

Eberhard Crailsheim, María Dolores Elizalde
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 feb 2019
In The Representation of External Threats, Eberhard Crailsheim and María Dolores Elizalde present a collection of articles that trace the phenomenon of external threats in a multitude of settings across Asia, America, and Europe. The scope ranges from military threats against the Byzantine rulers of the 7th century to the perception of cultural and economic threats in the late 19th century Atlantic, and includes conceptual threats to the construction of national histories.
Focussing on the different ways in which such threats were socially constructed, the articles offer a variety of perspectives and interdisciplinary methods to understand the development and representations of external threats, concentrating on the effect of 'threat communication' for societies and political actors.
Contributors are Anna Abalian, Vladimir Belous, Eberhard Crailsheim, María Dolores Elizalde, Rodrigo Escribano Roca, Simon C. Kemper, Irena Kozmanová, David Manzano Cosano, Federico Niglia, Derek Kane O’Leary, Alexandr Osipian, Pedro Ponte e Sousa, Theresia Raum, Jean-Noël Sanchez, Marie Schreier, Stephan Steiner, Srikanth Thaliyakkattil, Ionut Untea and Qiong Yu.

Recenzii

"...this reader could be recommended as a topic-specific introduction to global history. [...] To be sure, the volume is a valuable undertaking for interdisciplinary research, as it brings this very vocabulary and theoretical models into historical research – or to put it in idiosyncratic German: It has a high potential of “Anschlussfähigkeit”. [...] its authors offer new perspectives on how to bring concepts and theories from political science, sociology, and ‘constructivism’ into the study of history. That is the pioneering ambition and the great achievement of this book. It should inspire and stimulate future endeavours and theory-testing."
Thomas Kolnberger in: H-Soz-Kult, 10.11.2020, DOI: www.hsozkult.de/publicationreview/id/reb-49809.

"Der vorliegende Band mit seinen 19 Beiträgen aus 12 Ländern zwischen Spanien und Russland, zwischen Singapur und China, der seit 2016aus einem spanischen Marie-Curie-Projekt der EU zur Kolonialgeschichte der Philippinen hervorgegangen ist, zeichnet sich demgegenüber durch überzeugende Kohärenz aus. Denn er versteht es, den allgemeinen Befund, dass Identität durch Alterität oder durch Othering zustande kommt, im Sinne einer Kulturgeschichte des Politischen als Bedrohung zu konkretisieren und zu operationalisieren. [...] Im Gegensatz zu vergleichbaren Sammelbänden entwickelt dieser dank seiner gezielten Engführung durch Autoren und Herausgeber insgesamt ein differenziertes Instrumentarium zur Bearbeitung des historischen und politikwissenschaftlichen Problems der Wahrnehmung äußerer Bedrohung."
Wolfgang Reinhard in Zeitschrift für historische Forschung 47 (2020) 1, 79-80
