Donahue IN SEARCH OF A GLOBAL, GODLY ORDER: THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT AND THE ORIGINS OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, 1908-1918 Abstract by James M. Donahue This dissertation traces the origins of the League of Nations movement during the First World War to a coalescent international network of ecumenical figures and Protestant politicians. Its primary focus rests on the World Alliance for International Friendship Through the Churches, an organization that drew Protestant social activists and ecumenical leaders from Europe and North America. The World Alliance officially began on August 1, 1914 in southern Germany to the sounds of the first shots of the war. Within the next three months, World Alliance members began League of Nations societies in Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain and the United States. The World Alliance then enlisted other Christian institutions in its campaign, such as the International Missionary Council, the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the Blue Cross and the Student Volunteer Movement. Key figures include John Mott, Charles Macfarland, Adolf Deissmann, W. H. Dickinson, James Allen Baker, Nathan Söderblom, Andrew James M. Donahue Carnegie, Wilfred Monod, Prince Max von Baden and Lord Robert Cecil.

  • Cultural Nationalism E R I C Ta Y L O R Wo O D S, 2016
    Cultural Nationalism E r i c Ta y l o r Wo o d s, 2016 INTRODUCTION Nationalism may involve the combination of culture and politics, but for many of its most prominent students, the former is subordinate to the latter. In this view, nationalist appeals to culture are a means to a political end; that is, the achievement of statehood. Hence, for Ernest Gellner (2006 [1983]: 124), culture is but an epiphenomenon, a ‘false- consciousness … hardly worth analyzing …’. For their part, Eric Hobsbawm and Terrence Ranger (1983) suggest that national traditions are ‘invented’ by elites concerned with the legitimization of state power. Similarly, John Breuilly (2006 [1982]: 11) defines national movements as ‘political movements … which seek to gain or exercise state power and justify their objectives in terms of nationalist doctrine’. A broadly similar characterization of nationalism can be found in the writings of many other esteemed scholars (Giddens, 1985; Laitin, 2007; Mann, 1995; Tilly, 1975). The privileging of politics over culture remains the dominant approach to understanding nationalism, but it is not without criticism. There is now a vast and rapidly growing body of literature insisting that the role of culture should be made more prominent. In opposition to the argument that nationalist appeals to culture are but an exercise in legitimation, this body of literature suggests that they can be ends unto themselves. This latter phenomenon, generally referred to as cultural nationalism, is the subject of this chapter. The chapter proceeds as follows. I begin with the definition and history of cultural nationalism before discussing several key themes in its study.

  • The Roots of Nationalism
    HERITAGE AND MEMORY STUDIES 1 HERITAGE AND MEMORY STUDIES Did nations and nation states exist in the early modern period? In the Jensen (ed.) field of nationalism studies, this question has created a rift between the so-called ‘modernists’, who regard the nation as a quintessentially modern political phenomenon, and the ‘traditionalists’, who believe that nations already began to take shape before the advent of modernity. While the modernist paradigm has been dominant, it has been challenged in recent years by a growing number of case studies that situate the origins of nationalism and nationhood in earlier times. Furthermore, scholars from various disciplines, including anthropology, political history and literary studies, have tried to move beyond this historiographical dichotomy by introducing new approaches. The Roots of Nationalism: National Identity Formation in Early Modern Europe, 1600-1815 challenges current international scholarly views on the formation of national identities, by offering a wide range of contributions which deal with early modern national identity formation from various European perspectives – especially in its cultural manifestations. The Roots of Nationalism Lotte Jensen is Associate Professor of Dutch Literary History at Radboud University, Nijmegen. She has published widely on Dutch historical literature, cultural history and national identity.

  • Hugh Masekela: the Long Journey 1959-1968
    HUGH MASEKELA: THE LONG JOURNEY 1959-1968 By RICARDO CUEVA A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research written under the direction of Dr. Henry Martin and approved by ___________________________________ Newark, New Jersey October 2020 © 2020 Ricardo Cueva ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Abstract of the Thesis Hugh Masekela: The Long Journey By Ricardo Cueva Thesis Director: Henry Martin This thesis chronicles Masekela's transition from African refugee to Grammy nominated artist while also encompassing a musical analysis of his work before and including The Promise of the Future. This thesis will provide brief biographical information of Masekela’s life as well as a sociological analysis to give context to his place in US pop culture. This study discusses Masekela’s upbringing in South Africa and explores his transition into 1960s America. This thesis argues that Masekela faced an authenticity complex when breaking into the US market because he defied the expectations of what US audiences thought Africans to be. Masekela overcame this obstacle with the release of The Americanization of Ooga Booga (1966). A musical analysis and critique of the first three albums with an emphasis on Masekela’s breakthrough compositions will be part of this thesis. This thesis concludes with a brief analysis of the cultural and racial impact of Masekela’s work both in the United States and South Africa. ii Acknowledgements I would first and foremost like to thank my parents for their constant support and sacrifice.

SFPS was created in 2002 with the aim of continuing and developing the pioneering work of its predecessor organization, the Association for the Study of Caribbean and African Literature in French (ASCALF). SFPS does not seek to impose a monolithic understanding of the ‘postcolonial’ and it consciously aims to appeal to as diverse a range of members as possible, in order to engage in wide-ranging debate on the nature and legacy of colonialism in and beyond the French-speaking world. SFPS encourages work of a transcultural, transhistorical, comparative and interdisciplinary nature. It implicitly seeks to decolonize the term Francophone, emphasizing that it should refer to all cultures where French is spoken (including, of course, France itself), and it encourages a critical reflection on the nature of the cognate disciplines of French Studies, on the one hand, and Anglophone Postcolonial Studies, on the

  • Prof. Joep Leerssen (12 June 1955) European Studies
    Prof. Joep Leerssen (12 June 1955) European Studies Current position Professor of European Studies at the University of Amsterdam Professor Joep Leerssen has been awarded an Academy Professorship for his unique contribution to the field of European Studies. He investigates concepts of national identity as they are reflected and expressed in European literature from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. This work has earned him an international reputation in three different fields of scholarship – Irish studies, Cultural nationalism and imagology – and he is considered an authority in all three. His monographs (1986 and 1996) on Irish cultural history have been foundational for the academic discipline of Irish Studies. He examines Irish cultural history as a pattern of cross- cultural negotiations by means of a comparative analysis of its various languages and traditions (English and Gaelic). He is very active as a referee and committee member for the Irish Humanities Research Council, as a co-supervisor for Irish PhD students, has given many ‘named lectures’ on Irish studies and has been elected Honorary Member of the Royal Irish Academy. Professor Leerssen has made imagology, formerly a somewhat abstract study, the core component of European Studies. Imagology is the analysis of stereotyping and national (self)characterization. Leerssen has brought together hitherto compartmentalised worldwide research in the field of imagology by, among other activities, setting up the website ‘Images’ and establishing the ‘Studia Imagologica’ book series. In the study of 19th-century cultural nationalism Leerssen has directed the field by highlighting the notion that cultural expressions are a central and guiding aspect of political nationalism.
