McGuire, Elizabeth. "Sino-Soviet Romance: An Emotional History of Revolutionary Geopolitics." Journal of Contemporary History 52, no. 4 (October 2017): 853–73. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0022009417730894.
Full textAbstract:
This article argues that the relationship between the Russian and Chinese revolutions can be interpreted as a romance, to create an emotional history of elite revolutionary geopolitics. Tracing the stories of two prominent Sino-Soviet couples – President of Taiwan Jiang Jingguo and his wife Faina Vakhreva, and PRC Labor Minister Li Lisan and his wife Elizaveta Kishkina – against a larger backdrop of cultural exchange highlights continuities in a relationship most often described in terms of its ruptures. In the 1920s, when Jiang Jingguo first arrived in the Soviet Union, attitudes toward love and sex in both cultures were shifting, and the Chinese Revolution was celebrated in Moscow, rendering early Chinese experiences there romantic on several levels. The Liza-Li affair, begun in the difficult circumstances of the 1930s, highlights the ways in which the choices of one partner, personal or geopolitical, could come to constrain those of the other, through the 1950s and beyond. Such deeply felt and publicly prominent cross-cultural romances gave China’s relationship with Russia an emotional complexity and cultural depth that were lacking before the advent of twentieth century communism – and have survived its demise.

The diversity of interdisciplinary research has encouraged scholars in the Arab region and in other parts of the world to explore the intersectionality of different disciplines. This exploration of intersectionality requires researchers to move away from traditional approaches and seek innovative ways to address areas of research that may have not yet been investigated or have emerged as new trends. Such endeavors enrich our understanding of existing knowledge and build upon existing information. The current AWEJ for Translation and Literary Studies issue has attracted works from researchers across disciplines and invites readers, both specialized and nonspecialized, to come abreast with new insights around machine translation, the quality of digital communication, crime against children, gender differences, vegetarian ecofeminism, masculine food studies, humanity, the notion of identity, linguistics and standup comedy, emerging Arab women literature, the configuration of the social and cultural aspects of freedom, the restrictions of confinement and the sense of belonging amidst the chaos of war and revolutions. Such a wide spectrum of research work is a reflection of the growing influence of digital technologies in creating opportunities for innovation and the development of new scopes of knowledge. The very concept of cross disciplinary approaches challenges researchers to tap into the grey areas and create novel connections which address both regional and global issues. Encouraging interdisciplinarity stems from the deep conviction that the world today needs unique approaches to understanding current shared challenges such as the frailty of communication between communities, security and safety amidst wars and hunger, identity against the backdrop of political uncertainty, food security, water crisis, and humanitarian crisis. Research that addresses and advances progressive thought processes with groundbreaking insights and or impact is the basis of change. With this in mind, it remains the duty of journals and reviewers to join efforts to create the right basis for quality research and impactful results to emerge

Goff, Philip. "Revivals and Revolution: Historiographic Turns since Alan Heimert's Religion and the American Mind." Church History 67, no. 4 (December 1998): 695–721. http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/3169849.
Full textAbstract:
Thirty years ago Alan Heimert published his monumental study of religion's relationship to the American Revolution. Religion and the American Mind: From the Great Awakening to the Revolution contradicted the conventional wisdom rooted in Vernon Parrington's 1927 Main Currents of American Thought and implicitly challenged the more recent interpretation put forward by Heimert's own mentor, Perry Miller. Critics responded vigorously, but their reproofs did not foretell the future of Heimert's argument. Indeed, in the past twenty years a cadreof young scholars assumed either his thesis or method and moved the debate toward the personalities and movements Heimert underscored. Some of today's leading scholars who study connections between the revivals and the Revolution pay homage to Heimert's thought in footnotes if not in the texts themselves. Two social/intellectual movements seemingly at cross-purposes, namely Protestant evangelicalism and the new cultural history, rescued Heimert's work from scathing yet well-placed criticisms to establish its assertions as a leading model for understanding religion's role in the American Revolution.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractEven though after the October Revolution in 1917 the Bolsheviks enjoyed uninterrupted power and pursued radical secularist objectives, the majority of female monastic communities in Nizhnii Novgorod province were able to survive much longer than their counterparts in the French and Mexican Revolutions. Using the Convent of the Exaltation of the Cross as a case study, this article shows how—despite extremely challenging conditions and the hostility of the Soviet state—female monastic communities proved to be remarkably resilient and managed to exploit openings created by both the Bolsheviks’ strategy for subverting them and conflicts between Soviet authorities. The resiliency of the community at the Convent of the Exaltation of the Cross stemmed from the solidarity, flexibility, and leadership skills it cultivated prior to World War I through the combination of its religious character and practices and its communal organization. By the early 1920s, the community had adapted effectively to post-civil war Soviet urban conditions and was able to survive local attempts to dissolve it. But by the late 1920s, the survival of the community had become intolerable for Soviet authorities, who—like the revolutionary regimes in France and Mexico—ultimately resorted to compulsory means to “liquidate” the community between 1927 and 1935.

Full textAbstract:
Whatever Happened to My Revolution offers a French feminist perspective on the impact today of the uprising by the left in Paris in May 1968. The continuing appeal of the events of ‘68 are considered to be in decline, yet the film suggests that the energy of 50 years ago continues to mobilize cultural politics through cinematic appeals that amount to the radical recuperation of some of the ambitions of the day, a continuation of the past in the present. Whatever Happened to My Revolution is explored with reference to Guy Debord's concept of psychogeography, which suggested new phases of discovery in social life for remaking urban life, cross-referencing aspects of Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytical approach that appear in the film, especially the concept of desire, informing its feminist psychogeography. The challenges facing the current generation can be described as a desire by the French left, in this film defined and described by women, for the realization of May ‘68s cultural transformations in public and private culture.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines Michelangelo Antonioni's Chung Kuo Cina (China) (1972), a documentary made in and about the People's Republic of China during the height of the Cultural Revolution. Detailing the documentary's controversial reception and analyzing Chung Kuo’s emphasis on visual reality in opposition to the PRC's official socialist realism, I argue that Chung Kuo constituted a critical cross-cultural project, while providing a unique portrayal of quotidian life in Maoist China.

Bertoli, Mariacristina Natalia. "Copernican Revolutions: Mary Jo Salter’s Intertextual Interpretation of Paradise Lost in Falling Bodies." Miscelánea: A Journal of English and American Studies 40 (December 31, 2009): 25–42. http://dx.doi.org/10.26754/ojs_misc/mj.20099658.
Full textAbstract:
Intertextuality has often been viewed as the mere rewriting of the plot of a work of literature, thus downplaying the role of structures in creating nets of meaning which cross the boundaries of a single text. By contrast, the present study deals with the meanings attached to traditional structures such as the beginning in medias res (or tragische Analysis). In particular, this article presents the way the manipulationof this device inherited from ancient epics allowed Milton to reverse its original moral implications in Paradise Lost, thus bringing about what John M. Steadman has defined a “Copernican Revolution” in literature. In addition, this study analyzes the reuse of the Miltonic model in Falling Bodies, a play written by the contemporary American poet Mary Jo Salter. Here tragische Analysis is used for bringing about a new Copernican Revolution in which the focus has been shifted from morals to metaliterature. In effect, this structure enables Salter to investigate the very mechanisms of intertextuality and to show that literary recreation never turns upside down the system it belongs to; rather, it enriches the tradition it has stemmed from in a ceaseless process of rewriting and manipulation.

Full textAbstract:
A 21st-century growth in prevalence of extreme right-wing nationalism and social conservatism in Australia, Europe, and America, in certain respects belies the positive impacts of online, new, and alternative forms of global media. Cross-national forms of ‘far-right activism’ are unconfined to their host nations; individuals and organisations campaign on the basis of ethno-cultural separatism, while capitalising on internet-based affordances for communication and ideological cross-fertilisation. Right-wing revolutionary ideas disseminated in this media, to this end, embody politico-cultural aims that can only be understood with attention to their philosophical underpinnings. Drawing on a dataset of articles from the pseudo-news websites, XYZ and The Unshackled, this paper investigates the representation of different rightist political philosophical traditions in contemporary Australia-based far-right media. A critical discourse and content analysis reveal XYZ and TU’s engagement with various traditions, from Nietzsche and the Conservative Revolution, to the European New Right and neo-Nazism.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past twenty years, the rehabilitation of Gustav Gustavovich Shpet’s work has taken place almost simultaneously in France and in Russia, thanks to the close cooperation of researchers. Among the intersecting themes that have become the focus of their attention is his attitude to the revolution as a social and cultural-historical phenomenon. And although this issue is not a priority in his work, it nevertheless turns out to be very significant for understanding his life and philosophy. Gustav Shpet, as a philosopher, understood that he had to keep his distance from political events in order to concentrate on his work, especially when the implementation of this work is threatened by what should have contributed to it (meaning the cultural policy that was conducted in the post-revolutionary Russia in the late 1910s and 1920s. It is important for us today that at different moments of his life, Gustav Shpet interprets the revolution, relying on his experience of understanding the revolutionary struggle in which he participated in his youth, phenomenological ideas, the history of Russian philosophy and organizational academic activity. It was these factors that determined the dynamics of his interpretation of the revolution that played an important role in his decision to remain in Russia in 1922, when he asked Lunacharsky to cross his name off the lists of those who were to leave the country on the Philosophers’ Ship. Gustav Shpet chose to stay in his country, for better or for worse, but he chose it.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn W. Burkert's Orientalizing Revolution, itinerant craftsmen and other specialists moving from East to West are the primary vector for the movement of Near Eastern ideas and practices to the Greek world in the archaic period. In this model, the incentive for movement is a choice between western economic freedom and the despotism of eastern palace-centered economies. When set in the context of theoretical debates over the ancient economy, and particularly the important studies of C. Grottanelli and C. Zaccagnini on the mobility of specialists, Burkert's model appears to accept that modern divisions between eastern and western economies were also salient for ancient actors. This supposition is tested through a reexamination of Herodotus' story of the Greek doctor Democedes and the golden fetters awarded to him by Darius (Histories 3.125, 129-137). Though Herodotus uses the symbol of "golden fetters" as a focal point for the construction of cultural difference, parallel Greek and Egyptian evidence of specialists in royal service suggests that such gifts could also function as cross-cultural prestige items, and that the royal economies in which they circulated could facilitate and even stimulate the adoption and dissemination of notionally foreign ideas and practices.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter takes Wolf Totem as a case study of transnational coproduction, analyzing its cross-cultural aesthetics as well as its global network of production, circulation, and consumption. Drawing on the emergent field of “ecocinema” studies that examines cinema from a broad ecological perspective, the chapter argues that the artistic success of Wolf Totem lies in its incorporation of the universally appealing theme of ecological consciousness and environmental protection in a specific historical context of China’s Cultural Revolution. The success can also be attributed to a director-centered model with a high degree of professionalism and division of labor in global networks of production and distribution. Standing at the meeting point of transnationalism and national politics, this movie is both Chinese and global. I therefore suggest that Wolf Totem may have paved a path for future Sino-foreign coproductions.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter studies how the 1965 regime change in Indonesia gave rise to a new round of Red-versus-Blue competition. As Suharto's authoritarian rule replaced the Sukarno-PKI alliance, the cross–Taiwan Strait politics between the two Chinas became intertwined with the anti-Communist campaign and mass violence in Indonesia. The suspension of Sino-Indonesian relations reflected the paralysis of PRC diplomacy and greatly contributed to the growing sociopolitical mobilization during the early stages of the Cultural Revolution. The popular misperception in Indonesia that the PRC had sponsored a Communist coup was bolstered by the violent clashes between the PRC's Indonesian diplomatic mission and right-wing youth; the Red Guards' retaliatory attacks on the Indonesian diplomatic compound in China; the inflammatory broadcasts of Radio Peking; and the fiery tirades in the People's Daily against Suharto. Meanwhile, the Chinese Nationalist government in Taiwan capitalized on the golden opportunity provided by the anti-Communist fervor in Indonesia, which had been fueled by the fall of Sukarno, the demise of the Indonesian Communists, and the country's turn toward the capitalist West. Ultimately, the political turmoil in Indonesia between 1965 and 1967 gave rise to a period of insecurity for most of the ethnic Chinese in Indonesia.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: This chapter on "Global Business and Trade Strategies" provides a comprehensive exploration of the key concepts, economic impact, and historical evolution of global business and trade. It highlights the fundamental importance of international trade in promoting economic growth, improving efficiency, and fostering innovation. The chapter traces the historical context through an examination of early trade routes, the colonial trade era, the Industrial Revolution, and modern trade agreements like GATT, WTO, NAFTA, and TPP. The chapter delves into the drivers of global business, including economic policies, market demand, technological advancements, and cost efficiencies, and explores how globalization has reshaped business strategies to achieve competitive advantage. It analyzes the global trade environment through the lens of economic, political, legal, and cultural factors, and discusses key international trade theories such as comparative and absolute advantage. The roles of international economic institutions, trade policies, tariffs, and trade agreements are examined, along with strategies for managing cultural diversity in international business. Market entry strategies such as exporting, importing, foreign direct investment (FDI), joint ventures, strategic alliances, licensing, and franchising are thoroughly examined, with a focus on benefits, challenges, and best practices. The chapter also emphasizes global supply chain management, including logistics, risk management, and the role of technology. International marketing strategies, financial management, and legal and ethical issues are addressed, highlighting the importance of digital marketing, currency exchange mechanisms, compliance, and corporate social responsibility. The chapter concludes with case studies of successful global business strategies and a summary of key points, future trends, and recommended further reading.
