That seed was nourished further by the members of the Centre for Critical Theory, also at The University of Nottingham. David Fraser deserves a mention for forwarding me material on the juridical debates around martial law and the state of exception. For convincing me that it was an idea worth pursuing, I must acknowledge the kindness, patience and good humour of Peter Hallward. Bruno Bosteels was also generous enough to enter into correspondence with me early on, and his take on Badiou has certainly shaped my own. Alberto Toscano’s work has always pre- empted the kinds of questions I have wanted to ask, and often answered them to boot. My colleagues and friends Neal Curtis and Tracey Potts have offered open ears and sometimes comfy shoulders. I would also like to thank my PhD students, Adity Singh and Luca Bosetti, who have made me think about Badiou and Lacan in ways I would not have done alone. I am grateful to the editors of Theory & Event, Subjectivity and Culture, Theory and Critique who gave me permission to reproduce elements of arguments already published with them, and also to the reviewers of those articles whose feedback certainly helped me to clarify my argument. At the Jamaican end of things, I’m grateful for the support and hospitality of the late Barry Chevannes, of Carolyn Cooper, of Donna Hope, of Sonjah Stanley Niaah and of Herbie Miller, all at the Mona Campus of the University of the West Indies. A special mention should also go my spiritual sistren, Mamma G. I thank my children, Solomon and Matilda, for being so scrupulous in forcing on me the distractions I need without always realising it. I thank Abi for being their mother, for doing her very best to keep those distractions to a minimum, and for being my lifelong soul-mate, no matter what. 9 Abbreviations Works by Badiou have been abbreviated as follows: BE Being and Event, trans.

A. T. HALL THE VICTOR VANQUISHED EMANCIPATION IN ST. CROIXJ ITS ANTECEDENTS AND IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH INTRODUCTION The slave uprising of 2-3 July 1848 in St. Croix, Danish West Indies, belongs to that splendidly isolated category of Caribbean slave revolts which succeeded if, that is, one defines success in the narrow sense of the legal termination of servitude. The sequence of events can be briefly rehearsed. On the night of Sunday 2 July, signal fires were lit on the estates of western St. Croix, estate bells began to ring and conch shells blown, and by Monday morning, 3 July, some 8000 slaves had converged in front of Frederiksted fort demanding their freedom. In the early hours of Monday morning, the governor general Peter von Scholten, who had only hours before returned from a visit to neighbouring St. Thomas, sum- moned a meeting of his senior advisers in Christiansted (Bass End), the island's capital. Among them was Lt. Capt. Irminger, commander of the Danish West Indian naval station, who urged the use of force, including bombardment from the sea to disperse the insurgents, and the deployment of a detachment of soldiers and marines from his frigate (f)rnen. Von Scholten kept his own counsels. No troops were despatched along the arterial Centreline road and, although he gave Irminger permission to sail around the coast to beleaguered Frederiksted (West End), he went overland himself and arrived in town sometime around 4 p.m.

  • Uma Antropologia Pós-Leninista E a Questão Do Real
    volume 2 | número 1 | Janeiro - Dezembro 2019 UMA ANTROPOLOGIA PÓS-LENINISTA E A QUESTÃO DO REAL UNA ANTROPOLOGÍA POST-LENINISTA Y LA CUESTIÓN DE LO REAL Alex Martins Moraes UMA ANTROPOLOGIA PÓS-LENINISTA E A QUESTÃO DO REAL UNA ANTROPOLOGÍA POST-LENINISTA Y LA CUESTIÓN DE LO REAL Alex Martins Moraes RESUMO: A antropologia pós-leninista de Sylvain Lazarus separou-se dos domínios do cientificismo a reboque de dois enunciados radicais: “as pessoas pensam” e “o pensamen- to é relação do real”. Na história do marxismo, Lênin teria sido o primeiro autor a colocar a ação transformadora das coletividades humanas sob a condição de estabelecer suas próprias condições, independentemente dos ditames científicos, históricos e filosóficos que pretendiam depreender das posições sociais já existentes um devir político positivo, com destino pré-fixado. Neste ensaio, delineio o espaço político-teórico reivindicado por Lazarus e reviso as proposições basilares de sua antropologia, enfatizando a original pro- blemática do real inerente a ela. Meu argumento expõe as consequências decisivas deste pensamento que extrai sua particular figura do real diretamente do campo de “possíveis” aberto pela capacidade intelectiva das pessoas. Sugiro que, se decidirmos aceitar a aparen- te obviedade do enunciado “as pessoas pensam”, abre-se diante de nós um novo horizonte de pesquisa, potencialmente catastrófico do ponto de vista das garantias epistemológicas objetivistas que vínhamos usufruindo até o momento. PALAVRAS CHAVE: antropologia do nome, leninismo, real, realidade, Sylvain Lazarus. RESUMEN: La antropología post-leninista de Sylvain Lazarus se separó de los dominios del cientificismo de la mano de dos enunciados radicales: “la gente piensa” y “el pensamiento es relación de lo real”.

  • Unlearnt Lesson Central-European Idea and Serb National Program
    Helsinki Files Unlearnt Lesson Central-European Idea and Serb National Program 1 Charles Ingrao Understanding Ethnic Conflict in Central Europe - An Historical Perspective - Neville Chamberlain spoke for millions of his contemporaries when, at the height of the Munich Crisis, he lamented the prospects of going to war over ‘a faraway country’ inhabited by ‘people of whom we know nothing’. The prime minister was, of course, speaking to his fellow Britons about Czechoslovakia. But he could have just as easily used these same words to characterize the Anglo-American world’s knowledge - or concern - about the lands and peoples of the entire region between Germany and the former Soviet Union. A half century later we still know very little about what the Germans call Mitteleuropa, and even less about its history. Even today, as the world press reports recent events in the former Yugoslavia in terrible detail, it has never explained why there is such intense ethnic conflict throughout Central Europe. One tragic consequence of their ignorance has been the incessant, but incorrect allusion to "age-old hatreds" that helped desensitize America’s public and politicians to Slobodan Milošević’s carefully orchestrated campaign of ethnic genocide. We have many excuses. The region's languages are dissimilar to anything we speak. Its multiplicity of intermingled ethnic and linguistic groups challenges the most curious. It boasts no great power to attract our admiration or concern. And, it is not especially strategic or important to us. It may have been only a century ago when Bismarck warned that "the Balkans are not worth the bones of a Pomeranian grenadier", but his advice has guided the statesmen of the West for centuries.

  • Lenin Reloaded
    Lenin Reloaded SIC stands for psychoana- lytic interpretation at its most elementary: no dis- covery of deep, hidden meaning, just the act of drawing attention to the litterality [sic!] of what pre- cedes it. A “sic” reminds us that what was said, in- clusive of its blunders, was effectively said and cannot be undone. The series SIC thus explores different connections to the Freud- ian field. Each volume pro- vides a bundle of Lacanian interventions into a spe- cific domain of ongoing theoretical, cultural, and SIC ideological-political battles. It is neither “pluralist” A nor “socially sensitive”: series unabashedly avowing its exclusive Lacanian orienta- edited tion, it disregards any form by of correctness but the inherent correctness of Slavoj theory itself.

  • Alberto Becherelli Montenegro Betrayed: the Yugoslav Unification
    Alberto Becherelli Montenegro Betrayed: The Yugoslav Unification and the Controversial Inter-Allied Occupation A Tradition of Independence During WWI, the Kingdom of Montenegro experienced its last troubled period of independence at the end of a process that in the 19th century had brought the country almost continuously in a state of war against the Ottomans with important political and military successes, despite the fact that Sultan Selim III, already in 1799, had formally recognized that Montenegrins “had never been subjects of the High Porte.”1 Under the Ottoman domination, the mountains of Montenegro preserved a de facto autonomy from the authority of the sultan due to a peculiar tribal structure and on the basis of the pay- ment of a tribute, which frequently had been unpaid. A particular theocracy headed by the prince bishop of Cetinje –vladika, elected by a local assembly– had existed from the beginning of the 16th cen- tury until 1851, when Montenegro, after the death of Petar II Pe- trović-Njegoš (author of a literary work that became a symbol of the Montenegrin and more generally of the South Slavic nation-building process: Gorski Vijenac [The Mountain Wreath]) also became a sec- ular principality with a definitive separation between temporal and spiritual power. Over the centuries, the Ottoman army repeatedly at- tempted to subjugate without success the Montenegrin tribes from the mountains, while the Montenegrin cities on the coast remained 1 Stephen Clissold, ed., Storia della Jugoslavia.

It employs interdisciplinary literature on the concept of loyalty to explore how multiple allegiances influenced people during the Civil War. Historians have generally viewed Confederate nationalism as weak or strong, with white southerners either united or divided in their desire for Confederate independence. This study breaks this impasse by viewing Mississippians through the lens of different, co-existing loyalties that in specific circumstances indicated neither popular support for nor rejection of the Confederacy.
