Published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of the Society for the Comparative Study of Society and History doi:10.1017/S0010417521000050 Colony and Empire, Colonialism and Imperialism: A Meaningful Distinction? KRISHAN KUMAR University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA It is a mistaken notion that planting of colonies and extending of Empire are necessarily one and the same thing. ———Major John Cartwright, Ten Letters to the Public Advertiser, 20 March–14 April 1774 (in Koebner 1961: 200). There are two ways to conquer a country; the first is to subordinate the inhabitants and govern them directly or indirectly.… The second is to replace the former inhabitants with the conquering race. ———Alexis de Tocqueville (2001[1841]: 61). One can instinctively think of neo-colonialism but there is no such thing as neo-settler colonialism. ———Lorenzo Veracini (2010: 100). WHAT’ S IN A NAME? It is rare in popular usage to distinguish between imperialism and colonialism. They are treated for most intents and purposes as synonyms. The same is true of many scholarly accounts, which move freely between imperialism and colonialism without apparently feeling any discomfort or need to explain themselves. So, for instance, Dane Kennedy defines colonialism as “the imposition by foreign power of direct rule over another people” (2016: 1), which for most people would do very well as a definition of empire, or imperialism. Moreover, he comments that “decolonization did not necessarily Acknowledgments: This paper is a much-revised version of a presentation given many years ago at a seminar on empires organized by Patricia Crone, at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton.

  • Kindred Births and Planetary Recurrences: Seeking the Larger 'Scope' of the Birth Moment
    Kindred births and planetary recurrences: Seeking the larger 'scope' of the birth moment A natal chart is pretty well defined by the moment of birth, in which all is captured as a still life, a snapshot of the solar system. Natal astrology is focused on this point in time, but what if we step back to view it in a broader context? When we zoom out from the natal chart and shift our attention to the planets in motion, the birth moment becomes the center of a wider time window. We become aware of planet events, like aspect contacts (perfections), stations and sign ingresses. These events often coincide within a few days, and can be studied in this way, which is the topic of my research. The idea of finding parallels between lives separated by decades or centuries is not a new one, but applying it to the development of a new astrological method seems very much out of the blue. I begin with the question of whether it is possible to discern any parallels between lives with common natal planet patterns. The first problem is how to define these patterns, my choice being to make use of planetary events around the birthdate, and to use a time limit of a week on either side -- what we might call a time-based orb. If astrology is truly about time, this approach gives me hope for a more complete understanding of that truth. In the zodiac, the planetary aspects are based on geometric figures, and they combine to form aspect patterns.

  • The Present Study Examines the Reception of Anglo-American Popular Music In
    Beatlephiles and Zappists: Rock Fandom in Communist Czechoslovakia in the Context of the Scene in Brno in the 1980s* Jan Blüml Abstract BLÜML, Jan: Beatlephiles and Zappists: Rock Fandom in Communist Czechoslovakia in the Context of the Scene in Brno in the 1980s. The history of rock in Communist Europe has been viewed by a number of domestic and foreign authors as a series of events with a dominant political content, either in the form of a general youth revolt or directly in the spirit of anti-communist opposition. In this regard, the present study extends the current simplifying concept with an emphasis on the reception history, including relevant issues related to the typology of listeners and aesthetics. The primary subject of this paper is the reception of two of the most influential representatives of Anglo-American popular music in Communist Czechoslovakia, these being the Beatles and Frank Zappa. The reception of both artistic subjects is reflected in the specific space of the Brno scene of the 1980s, within the framework of the artist fan clubs which had no parallel any- where else in the country. The study demonstrates the specifics of American and British rock fandom in the given time and space and challenges the long-held narrative about the supremacy of the political functions of rock behind the Iron Curtain. Keywords: The Beatles, Frank Zappa, Czechoslovakia, Communism, rock music, rock fandom, Brno, Moravia, reception history DOI: https://doi.org/10.31577/forhist.2020.14.2.3 he present study examines the reception of Anglo-American popular music in T - riod of late normalization.

  • Domestic Colonies and Colonialism Vs Imperialism in Western Political Thought and Practise
    Domestic Colonies and Colonialism vs Imperialism in Western Political Thought and Practise Over the last thirty years, there has been a rapidly expanding literature on colonialism and imperialism in the canon of modern western political thought including research done by James Tully, Glen Coulthard, David Armitage, Karuna Mantena, Duncan Bell, Jennifer Pitts, Inder Marwah, Uday Mehta and myself. In various ways, it has been argued the defense of colonization and/or imperialism is embedded within and instrumental to key modern western, particularly liberal, political theories. In this paper, I provide a new way to approach this question based on a largely overlooked historical reality - ‘domestic’ colonies. Using a domestic lens to re-examine colonialism, I demonstrate it is not only possible but necessary to distinguish colonialism from imperialism. While it is popular to see them as indistinguishable in most post-colonial scholarship, I will argue the existence of domestic colonies and their justifications require us to rethink not only the scope and meaning of colonies and colonialism but how they differ from empires and imperialism. Domestic colonies (proposed and/or created from the middle of the 19th century to the start of the 20th century) were rural entities inside the borders of one’s own state (as opposed to overseas) within which certain kinds of fellow citizens (as opposed to foreigners) were segregated and engaged in agrarian labour to ‘improve’ them and the ‘uncultivated’ land upon which they laboured. Three kinds of domestic colonies were proposed based upon the population within them: labour or home colonies for the ‘idle poor’ (vagrants, unemployed, beggars), farm 1 colonies for the ‘irrational’ (mentally ill, disabled, epileptic) and utopian colonies for political, religious and/or racial minorities.
