Abstract:
Abstract The former great European colonial empires had incorporated soldiers recruited in their colonies into their armies. Several Arab authors from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Morocco remember them through their novels and short stories, giving us an interesting perception of the “Other”: strangers brought into the Arab world by other strangers. They also represent different negative faces of the colonial period: the exploitation of the indigenous population, the dilemma of Muslims forced to fight their brothers . . .

Abstract:
At the turn of August and September of 1914, Galician Ukrainian volunteers formed the Legion of Ukrainian Sich Riflemen (Ukrains′ki Sichovi Stril′tsiorUkrainische Sitschower Schützen) as a unit separate from the simultaneously created Polish Legions.Sichreferred to the historical headquarters of the Zaporozhian Cossacks located on the Dnieper River. In photographs, however, the Sich Riflemen look like ordinary Austrian-Hungarian soldiers. There is nothing specifically “Cossack” about their appearance. In 1914, Sich simply stood for the military or paramilitary activity of young Ukrainian males. Every soldier in the Legion of Ukrainian Sich Riflemen was now, by definition, a Sich man, a Cossack. The Cossack characteristics suggested by the term “Sich” had become inextricably linked with alleged Ukrainian martial valor.

Abstract:
Polish and Ukrainian poetry on World War I have much in common: they were written mainly by soldier-poets, young men fighting in the Polish Legions or the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen. This poetry is, first of all, a patriotic legitimation of the war as a way of regaining political independence. Heroism and suffering for the fatherland are dominating issues. Nevertheless, besides this pathetic gesture, we can find voices that point out the horror of war and question it at all. Such criticisms is expressed by certain motives, which appear in both the Legions’ and the Sich Riflemens’ poetry, like: fratricide, lists from soldiers to their families at home, devastation of nature and culture, autumn and death, as well as pacifist notions. These voices do not form any dominant discourse in the poetry on World War I, but they are not to be ignored, as they mark a common place in the Polish and Ukrainian literature at this time, which has not been researched until now.

Abstract:
Der Erste Weltkrieg führt in der italienischen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur zum Erscheinen neuer Formen von Propaganda. Vielmehr noch, Kinder- und Jugendliteratur wird als ein mächtiges Werkzeug aufgefasst, das zur Mitteilung emotional durchdringender und täuschender Botschaften an Kinder und Erwachsene gleichermaßen eingesetzt wird. Die gegenwärtige italienische Kinder- und Jugendliteratur unterliegt nicht länger diesem starken Einfluss der Zensur und politischen Propaganda der Kriegszeit, sondern stellt einen narrativen Raum für Erinnerungen und Nachsinnen dar. Doch wie hat sie sich wirklich verändert? Welche gegenwärtigen Tendenzen weist die Kinder- und Jugendliteratur zum Thema Erster Weltkrieg in Italien auf? Unterscheiden sich die Erzählmodelle wesentlich von denen in der Vergangenheit? Nach einem kurzen Überblick der geschichtlichen, kulturellen und politischen Lage Italiens zur Zeit des Ersten Weltkriegs wird in dieser Arbeit ein bedeutender Korpus der einstigen und gegenwärtigen italienischen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur analysiert und miteinander verglichen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass neueingeschlagene Richtungen italienischer Historiographie, neue Generationen italienischer Autoren der KJL und die hundert Jahre die zwischen dem Ersten Weltkrieg und heute liegen, wenn auch mit einiger Verspätung so dennoch zur Entstehung einer balancierten Darstellung der geschichtlichen, kulturellen und politischen Geschehnisse jener Zeit beigetragen haben.

Abstract:
Das Erkenntnisinteresse dieses Artikels gilt dem Zusammenhang zwischen Gewalt und Geschlechterbeziehungen im Militärischen. In der symbolischen Ordnung ist Gewalt dichotom in Verletzungsmacht und Verletzbarkeit organisiert, diese Dichotomie ist zudem tiefgreifend mit der Kategorie Geschlecht verknüpft. Welche Verschiebungen in der geschlechtlich strukturierten, militärischen Gewaltorganisation zieht die Einbindung von Frauen* in mexikanische Kampfeinheiten nach sich? Die zugrundeliegende qualitative Studie erforscht, wie Soldatinnen in die mexikanischen Streitkräfte eingebunden werden, welche Einhegung ihre soldatische Verletzbarkeit erfährt und inwiefern sie sich Verletzungsmacht aneignen. Als zentrales Ergebnis wird herausgearbeitet, dass mit der militärischen Einbindung von Frauen* eine Verschiebung in der vergeschlechtlichten Ordnung der Gewalt konstatiert werden kann: Die mexikanischen Kampfsoldatinnen haben sich erfolgreich eine soldatische Subjektposition angeeignet und sind weit in die bislang männlich konnotierte Sphäre der soldatischen Verletzungsmacht vorgedrungen. Gleichzeitig sind die Bewegungen in der Beziehung von Gewalt und Geschlecht im Militärischen deutlich von Ambivalenzen gekennzeichnet, denn es werden auch neue Grenzen gezogen.

Abstract:
Der Beitrag befasst sich mit der exemplarischen Rekonstruktion eines Wandels von Anerkennungsordnungen kollektiver Gewaltausübung. Dabei wird die These bearbeitet, dass es im Zuge der _GIDA-Bewegung zu einer gesellschaftlichen Öffnung gegenüber Gewalthandeln kommt, die etablierte Aversionsnormen übergeht. Eine besondere Rolle spielen hier Fußballhooligans, deren Gewaltexpertise im Lichte einer bei _GIDA-Demos als wehrlos dargestellten Volksgemeinschaft eine neue Legitimierung erfährt. Wir zeigen, inwiefern stellvertretende politische Gewalt zum Selbstverständnis rechtsextremer Hooliganszenen gehört, um dann nachzuzeichnen, wie dieses Handlungsmodell eines gewalttätigen Stellvertreteraktivismus von einflussreichen Teilen der _GIDA-Bewegung Bestätigung erhält und adaptiert wird. Ankerpunkt für diesen Argumentationsgang ist ein Ereignis, bei dem der Wandel in der Anerkennungsordnung kollektiver und politisierter Gewaltausübung prägnant sichtbar wird.

Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to analyze the conflicts of Russian soldiers with the Zaporozhian population in Kodatsky and Starosamarsky ferriage and to identify the causes of conflict.Methods: analysis, synthesis, induction, biographical, historical-genetic. In general, research is based on microhistory.The main results. Control over the ferriage brought appreciable profits to the Zaporozhian Cossacks. The ferriages, including Kodatsky and Starosamarsky, were under the strict control of the specifically appointed officials of the Kosh of Nova Zaporozhian Sich. These two ferriages were operated by the Kodatsky special manager – "shafar", and the control over the Starosamarsky ferriage was carried out by persons, authorized of the Kodatsky shafar. At the time of Nova Sich in the strategically important points of territory of the Zaporozhian Cossacks were established fortified points, which also located the Russian garrisons. Often such fortifications were formed at the intersection of roads, in important communication nodes. Russian officers, in breach of the law, are making efforts to control cash revenues from ferriage. Most of the conflicts are connected with the Starosamarsky ferriage, where there was a powerful Russian fortification with a significant garrison. In the Kodatsky ferriage, where the Russians had a small Kodatsky redoubt with a small garrison on the left bank of the Dnipro, the number of conflicts was much smaller. Zaporozhian Kish and the local Cossack administration counteracted of such actions through appeals to the top Russian leadership, the transfer of the crossing points to another place and force confrontation directly on the ferriage. Concise conclusions. The basis of the conflicts, in my opinion, were two reasons. First reasons is a common desire of man to money, and Russian soldiers behaved trivially. The second reason is their perception of oneself in Zaporozhian territories. Despite the declarative recognition of the rights of the Cossacks, Russian military, as soon as they have the power advantage for this, demonstrate disregard for these rights. They feel themselves higher than the Cossacks, the representatives and leaders of the power of the empire, so it is obvious for them, what they may quite reward themselves with the extra money seized from the local population. At the same time, the strength of the Cossacks returns Russian military to respect for the rights of others. Practical meaning.The results of the research can be used to study the wider problem of interaction between the Ukrainian Cossacks and Russian military in the middle of the XVII – XVIII centuries.Originality: for the first time systematically described and analyzed the interaction of the Zaporozhian population and Russian military on the Starosamarsky and Kodatsky ferriages in the days of Nova Sich.Scientific novelty: the causes of conflicts and key aspects of mutual perception Ukrainian Cossacks and Russian military are determined.Type of article: empirical.

Abstract:
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, tens of thousands of Sikhs emigrated from Punjab to Southeast and East Asia to purse a better livelihood. At the same time, the Singh Sabha Movement was gradually gaining momentum in Punjab, strengthening the Sikh identity. Furthermore, Sikh soldiers and policemen were deployed widely in Asia to safeguard the interests of the British Empire. This chapter argues that the three seemingly irrelevant historical events (the modern Sikh diaspora, the Singh Sabha Movement, and the Indian expedition during the Boxer Uprising in China) were essentially interrelated. The convergent point of these moments was the erection of a Sikh temple (gurdwara) on Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong Island, in 1902. Taking this event as a case study, this chapter seeks to explore the Singh Sabha Movement through the lens of the Sikh diasporic network and the imperial network. It also unveils the Indian face of the British Empire by the turn of the twentieth century, when Indians, rather than the British, were the protagonists and engineers.

Abstract:
Chapter 2 explores the possibility that the idea of war is an imagined alternative reality. First, a former militant in the Sikh separatist movement explains how the idea of warfare permeated the worldview of the youth in the Punjabi village where he was raised. Second, concepts of war from the political scientist Kenneth Waltz and the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr are presented, as well as the insights of the eighteenth-century German soldier Carl von Clausewitz, who theorized that all war stems from the notion of absolute war, the all-or-nothing conception of reality in which there are only winners and losers. This worldview can be exhilarating since it offers the possibility of destroying forever the enemies—the sources of discord—that confound ordinary life. Hence enemies have to be invented, if they didn’t exist before, for the idea of war to be imaginable.

Abstract:
Chapter 5 examines two landmark Hindi short stories that contested aspects of Dwivedi’s literary agenda. In ‘Dulāīvālī’ (quilt-woman), Banga Mahila used regional and domestic women’s speech in addition to Dwivedi’s preferred standard, Khari Boli prose. Her fictional exploration of the impact of nationalist ideals on middle-class Bengali women in the Hindi-belt further challenged the patriarchal authority with which Dwivedi and other nationalists sought to shape an emergent nation. Chandradhar Sharma ‘Guleri’, in ‘Usne kahā thā’ (she had said), employed regional/ethnic speech that was also gendered, as masculine and vulgar, once again flouting Dwivedi’s preferences for an upright, Khari Boli standard. His story, featuring a Sikh soldier fighting in Europe during World War I, upheld some nationalist ideals, but also defied conventional mores. Both stories underwent extensive editorial revisions, yet there remains a record in their final published versions of their authors’ defiance, and of Dwivedi’s strategic responses to such challenges.
