  • Aesthetics and Painting

    J Armstrong, John A ArmstrongARTICLEThe British Journal of Aesthetics2010

    The book opens with a large and important question of intellectual motive: ‘Can philosophy reveal something about painting that might otherwise remain hidden or obscure: in what ways might it deepen our understanding?’ Gaiger is too decent to push forward the companion question, which he neverthless implies: ‘Can pseudo-philosophy—spurious sophistication—obscure things that might otherwise become clear; in what ways might it make our understandin…

  • The Steamboat and Popular Tourism

    Open AccessJohn A Armstrong, John Armstrong et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Transport History2005Cited by: 2

    This article discusses the role of the steamboat and popular tourism. The authors argue that the case of the railway in promoting popular recreational traveling, introducing excursions, and encouraging resort development has been overemphasized and in some instances wrongly credited with a pioneering role. The authors maintain that that role was, in fact, played by the steamboat. The article begins with a description of the features and character…

    Open AccessJohn A ArmstrongARTICLENations and Nationalism2004Cited by: 6References: 12

    Two related problems face the study of nations and nationalism. Primordialism, as the belief that nations have usually existed from time immemorial, has generally been discarded by scholars. However, perennialism, the belief that a few nations existed in antiquity or the Middle Ages, and revived subsequently, has more support, along with the concept that national self‐assertion generally becomes stronger at historical intervals. Probably more sup…

  • Transport History, 1945–95: The Rise of a Topic to Maturity

    Open AccessJohn A Armstrong, John ArmstrongARTICLEThe Journal of Transport History1998Cited by: 4

    This article traces developments in transport history as a subdiscipline of economic and social history over the last half-century. It evaluates the role played by the cliometricians in making transport history controversial as well as the different emphasis placed upon it by the new Chandlerian business history. It also examines the changes in the publishing outlets devoted to this field, and the various organisational initiatives which have bee…

  • Religious Nationalism and Collective Violence

    Open AccessJohn A ArmstrongARTICLENations and Nationalism1997Cited by: 2References: 4

    The objective of this essay is to trace relations between religion and nationalism leading to collective violence. One type of interaction involves nationalist movements seeking political dominance for movements lacking legal authority. They often resort to clandestine violence, i.e. terrorism. Although traditional religions have been reluctant to endorse such violence, when ensorsement is given it may lead to especially intense outbreaks. Much m…

  • National Liberation and International Balance

    Open AccessJohn A ArmstrongARTICLENationalities Papers1994References: 5

    For fifty years the Soviet Bloc constituted one pole of an essentially bipolar world power distribution. Although not unprecedented (consider Imperial Germany's defiance of most of the world during 1917–18, or later phases of Napoleon's challenge to Europe), bipolarism has usually been very brief. The sheer length of time the Soviet-American confrontation dominated world politics created, on the contrary, mind-sets and reflexes which only a consc…
