Towards a Sociology of Revolutionary Situations. Reflections on the Arab Uprisings Mounia Bennani-Chraïbi and Olivier Fillieule
Revue française de science politique, 2012/5-6 (vol. 62) Towards a sociology of revolutionary situations. Reflections on the Arab uprisings Mounia Bennani-Chraïbi and Olivier Fillieule ‘Uprisings have a body with which one can engage in combat. Revolutions, on the other hand, have a lot in common with ghosts’. Metternich to Guizot, October 31st, 1847 When we contemplate the apparent domino-effect of upheavals precipitated by the rapid and unexpected fall of Ben Ali on January 14th, 2011, the first image that comes to mind is that of 1848’s ‘Springtime of the Peoples’, when a demonstration in the streets of Paris prompted three days of insurrection, the restoration of the Republic and, thanks to the telegraph, the railways and the rotary press, over ten days of uprisings across cities as distant as Berlin, Munich, Vienna, Milan and Venice. However, just as when considering the revolutions of 1848, we should be wary of overly generalizing interpretations that seek to describe the events of 2010–2012 as the product of a unified wave of insurrections. Aside from the trigger provided by Ben Ali’s downfall, the trajectory, and consequently the shape, taken by the Egyptian, Moroccan, Bahraini, Libyan, Yemeni, and Syrian uprisings were all very different.It is only if we do not understand their respective contexts or if we are blinded by a well-meaning enthusiasm that we may collectively refer to them as the ‘Arab revolutions’. It is too soon to tell if any of these movements can be labelled as revolutionary. Such a question can only be answered with hindsight, in light of the results produced. -
I Am Not a Woman Writer’ About Women, Literature and Feminist Theory Today FT
259-271 095850 Moi (D) 4/9/08 09:39 Page 259 259 ‘I am not a woman writer’ About women, literature and feminist theory today FT Feminist Theory Copyright 2008 © SAGE Publications (Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore, and Washington DC) vol. 9(3): 259–271. 1464–7001 DOI: 10.1177/1464700108095850 Toril Moi Duke University http://fty.sagepub.com Abstract This essay first tries to answer two questions: Why did the question of the woman writer disappear from the feminist theoretical agenda around 1990? Why do we need to reconsider it now? I then begin to develop a new analysis of the question of the woman writer by turning to the statement ‘I am not a woman writer’. By treating it as a speech act and analysing it in the light of Simone de Beauvoir’s understanding of sexism, I show that it is a response to a particular kind of provocation, namely an attempt to force the woman writer to conform to some norm for femininity. I also show that Beauvoir’s theory illuminates Virginia Woolf’s strategies in A Room of One’s Own before, finally, asking why we, today, still should want women to write. keywords J. L. Austin, Simone de Beauvoir, femininity, feminist literary criticism, literature, women writers, Virginia Woolf Why is the question of women and writing such a marginal topic in feminist theory today? The decline of interest in literature is all the more striking given its central importance in the early years of feminist theory. Although I shall only speak about literature, I think it is likely that the loss of interest in literature is symptomatic of a more wide-ranging loss of interest in questions relating to women and aesthetics and women and creativity within feminist theory. -
Introduction—On and Off Topic
Le Monde Français du Dix-Huitième Siècle Volume 5, Issue-numéro 1 2020 Transposition(s) and Confrontation(s) in the British Isles, in France and Northern America (1688-1815) Dirs. Pierre-François Peirano & Hélène Palma Introduction—on and off Topic Hélène Palma [email protected] Pierre-François Peirano pierre-franç[email protected] DOI: 10.5206/mfds-ecfw.v5i1.13475 Introduction—on and off Topic It has long been established, mainly with the works of Robert Roswell Palmer, Jacques Godechot, and more recently, Wim Klooster and Janet Polasky1, that a revolutionary wave, promoting more egalitarian and progressive political regimes, swept over Northern America and Europe, France more particularly, in the 18th century. This approach, known as the Atlantic Revolution theory, holds that the 1776 American War of Independence initiated such a philosophical and political process, later reaching Europe. As Robert Roswell Palmer put it in The Age of Democratic Revolution: “The present work attempts to deal with […] what has sometimes recently been called the Atlantic Civilization […]. It is argued that this whole civilization was swept in the last four decades of the eighteenth century by a single revolutionary movement […]. It is held that this forty-year movement was essentially ‘democratic’ and that these years are in fact the Age of the Democratic Revolution”2. It appears however that this revolutionary movement was initiated a long time before 1776. In the 1960s, famous French historian Fernand Braudel had already raised the question -
Is There a Future for Italian Microhistory in the Age of Global History?
Is There a Future for Italian Microhistory in the Age of Global History? Francesca Trivellato In the late 1970s and 80s, particularly after the appearance of Carlo Ginzburg’s The Cheese and the Worms (1976) and Giovanni Levi’s Inheriting Power (1985), Italian microhistory shook the ground of established historiographical paradigms and practices. Since then, as Anthony Grafton put it, “Microhistories have captivated readers, won places on syllabi, been translated into many languages – and enraged and delighted their [the authors’] fellow professionals” (2006, 62). Are the questions that propelled Italian microhistory still significant or have they lost impetus? How has the meaning of microhistory changed over the past thirty years? And what can this approach contribute nowadays, when ‘globalization’ and ‘global’ are the dominant keywords in the humanities and the social sciences – keywords that we hardly associate with anything micro? In what follows, I wish to put forth two arguments. I suggest that the potential of a microhistorical approach for global history remains underexploited. Since the 1980s, the encounter between Italian microhistory and global history has been confined primarily to the narrative form. A host of studies of individuals whose lives traversed multiple linguistic, political, and religious boundaries has enjoyed considerable success among scholars and the broad public alike. These are predicated on the idea that a micro- and biographical scale can best portray the entanglement of cultural traditions produced by the growing contacts and clashes between different societies that followed the sixteenth- century European geographical expansion. They also reflect a greater comfort among historians and the general reader, perhaps most pronounced in Anglophone countries, with narration rather than social scientific analysis. -

Early Modern Japan
December 1995 Early Modern Japan KarenWigen) Duke University The aims of this paperare threefold: (I) to considerwhat Westernhistorians mean when they speakof Early Modern Japan,(2) to proposethat we reconceivethis period from the perspectiveof world networks history, and (3) to lay out someof the advantagesI believe this offers for thinking aboutSengoku and Tokugawasociety. The idea that Japan had an early modern period is gradually becoming common in every sector of our field, from institutional to intellectual history. Yet what that means has rarely been discussed until now, even in the minimal sense of determining its temporal boundaries: I want to thank David Howell and James Ketelaar for raising the issue in this forum, prompting what I hope will become an ongoing conversation about our periodization practices. To my knowledge, the sole attempt in English to trace the intellectual genealogy of this concept is John Hall's introduction to the fourth volume of the Cambridge History of Japan-a volume that he chose to title Early Modern Japan. Hall dates this expression to the 1960s, when "the main concern of Western scholars of the Edo period was directed toward explaining Japan's rapid modernization." Its ascendancy was heralded by the 1968 publication of Studies in the Institutional History of Early Modern Japan, which Hall co-edited with Marius Jansen. "By declaring that the Tokugawa period should be called Japan's 'early modern' age," he reflects, "this volume challenged the common practice of assuming that Japan during the Edo period was still fundamentally feudal.") Although Hall sees the modernization paradigm as having been superseded in later decades, he nonetheless reads the continuing popularity of the early modern designation as a sign that most Western historians today see the Edo era as "more modern than feudal.',4 This notion is reiterated in even more pointed terms by Wakita Osamu in the same volume. -

John R. Mcneill University Professor Georgetown University President of the American Historical Association, 2019 Presidential Address
2020-President_Address.indd All Pages 14/10/19 7:31 PM John R. McNeill University Professor Georgetown University President of the American Historical Association, 2019 Presidential Address New York Hilton Trianon Ballroom New York, New York Saturday, January 4, 2020 5:30 PM John R. McNeill By George Vrtis, Carleton College In fall 1998, John McNeill addressed the Georgetown University community to help launch the university’s new capital campaign. Sharing the stage with Georgetown’s president and other dignitaries, McNeill focused his comments on the two “great things” he saw going on at Georgetown and why each merited further support. One of those focal points was teaching and the need to constantly find creative new ways to inspire, share knowledge, and build intellectual community among faculty and students. The other one centered on scholarship. Here McNeill suggested that scholars needed to move beyond the traditional confines of academic disciplines laid down in the 19th century, and engage in more innovative, imaginative, and interdisciplinary research. Our intellectual paths have been very fruitful for a long time now, McNeill observed, but diminishing returns have set in, information and methodologies have exploded, and new roads beckon. To help make his point, McNeill likened contemporary scholars to a drunk person searching for his lost keys under a lamppost, “not because he lost them there but because that is where the light is.” The drunk-swirling-around-the-lamppost metaphor was classic McNeill. Throughout his academic life, McNeill has always conveyed his ideas in clear, accessible, often memorable, and occasionally humorous language. And he has always ventured into the darkness, searchlight in hand, helping us to see and understand the world and ourselves ever more clearly with each passing year. -
Ego-Documents: the Last Word?

Kaspar von Greyerz Britain, and especially England, can take pride in an exceptional collection of early modern diaries, autobiographies and family chronicles. As far as the seventeenth century is concerned, no other European country, as far as the author is aware, is able to claim a comparable wealth of such documents, in terms both of numbers and of content. However, the fast-growing interest among continental historians1 has not, to date, caught on in Britain. The current increase in interest in mainland Europe was initiated in the early 1990s by a Dutch group led by Rudolf Dekker as a kind of avant-garde in this field. In 1988 Dekker had already published a useful overview of the development of the field up to 1986/87.2 The Dutch researchers began their work by concentrating on inventaries of autobiographical writing in the Netherlands.3 This in turn generated monograph studies and text editions.4 In the course of the same decade they were followed by a Swiss research group under the direction of the present author.5 In following the Dutch example, the Swiss team working at the University of Basel decided to base their research on new bibliographical tools which they established in digital form.6 Comprehensive 1 This was documented for the first time in the following conference volume based on a symposium held in 1998: K.
