Coconut Colonialism: Workers and the Globalization of Samoa
There are many ways to write a global history: one is to survey multiple locations across time spans and geographies with interconnections and themes. Another is to dive deeply into a particular place, unfolding the daily lives, experiences, and hopes of local communities and individuals, tying them into global networks of travel, trade, diplomacy, entertainment, political alliance, and commercial interest. Droessler pursues the latter in Coconut…

The Cambridge History of the Pacific Ocean: The Pacific Ocean To 1800
Volume I of The Cambridge History of the Pacific Ocean provides a wide-ranging survey of Pacific history to 1800. It focuses on varied concepts of the Pacific environment and its impact on human history, as well as tracing the early exploration and colonization of the Pacific, the evolution of Indigenous maritime cultures after colonization, and the disruptive arrival of Europeans. Bringing together a diversity of subjects and viewpoints, this vo…
About Ancestors
Though regularly studied as different academic domains, Asian and Oceanian studies are deeply intertwined not only through longstanding political, economic, immigrant – and colonial – ties, but by questions about common ancestry. From popular commercial DNA testing to historical studies in linguistics, folklore, archaeology, biological anthropology, and sophisticated genome sequencing, deep histories of Oceanian Islander peoples have long been ti…

Passions and Purposes: Acting Faith and Nostalgia in New Caledonia
As developed since the seventeenth century, the concept and experience of nostalgia has been linked to individuals or groups displaced from, and longing for, a distant site they consider to be “home.” Colonial historians have also noted that indigenous peoples, such as Australian Aborigines or the Kanak in New Caledonia, may suffer from “solastalgia,” that is, homesickness while “still at home” because they have been subjects with restricted righ…

History and Incompleteness
Vera Schwarcz's Place and Memory in the Singing Crane Garden examines the moral, philosophical, and historical meanings of a garden built by a Manchu Chinese prince, subsequently destroyed by British imperialists, commandeered by Red Guard radicals, and finally transformed into the grounds of an art museum. Reading Singing Crane Garden in the context of Schwarcz's previous writings on Chinese intellectuals and Jewish traditions, as well as insigh…

However, research by indigenous and outlander scholars, along with struggles for political and cultural autonomy in the Pacific, has brought attention to vital island communities and 6has raised questions about a Pacific‐island way of understanding the world…

The Construction of Memory in Interwar France
Making the News: Modernity and the Mass Press in Nineteenth-Century France
Much recent writing on print culture has focused on the social and political implications of the transition from elite to culture in the 1800s. The essays in this volume aim to add to the understanding of the role of the 19th-century French press in producing the commodities, consumers and ideological frameworks that are the hallmarks of this shift. The book also offers an opportunity for useful comparisons with recent scholarship on the rise of …

Bodies: The Third Convolution
Two days before Christmas, 1877, Madame H. was admitted to the medical clinic in Yonne. Eighteen months before, she had been stricken by attacks of apoplexy and aphasia. At the end of a year, the paralytic episodes had partially subsided, though without any improvement in her aphasic condition. Her specialist, one Dr. Rousseau, noted that she remained completely lucid and took care of all her own affairs, but that when she went out, she needed to…
Numbers: The Temple Of Time
Ten days after the fall of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte and the Second Empire, Karl Marx addressed a letter to a colleague: “The drama of the French, therefore also the workers, is in great memories. It is necessary that events put an end once and for all to this reactionary cult of the Past That cult, Marx had once observed, was the French revolutionary tradition of presenting “the new scene of world history” in the “time honored disguise” of Roman …
Monuments: Idols Of The Emperor
A strangled cry breaks the frightening silence which hangs over the crowd. The column shakes. All eyes are fixed on the colossus atop the huge cylinder of bronze and granite as the metal cracks. Oscillating its full length for an instant, the column crashes down. A muffled impact of shattering metal mixes with the breaking of brush and clouds of dust rise in the air. At that instant an immense clamor breaks out from the crowd, and cries ring out,…
The Memory Of The Modern
A multidisciplinary work, Memory of the Modern examines stock markets, tango dancers, vagabond murderers, neurology, monument destruction, and colonial policies to document how individuals and institutions shaped memory in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Wonderfully written, the book studies these diverse “memory-sites” to show how memory and history are fought over, shaped, and put to personal and ideological use

Words: The Grammar Of History
From the world of accelerated numbers in the last chapter, I turn to the universe of words. My discussion talces me momentarily back to the events at the Place Vendome in search of what I shall soon problematically call an “image” of memory. With the destruction of the Vendome Column, a notable disagreement took place between two of the radical papers the next day. La Commune floridly endorsed the action, condemning “this monument which, in a wor…
Spectacles: Machineries of Magic
One day by chance, journalist Michel Georges-Michel found himself at the cinema with the world’s most famous living philosopher, Henri Bergson. “It is thus one day that we found ourselves in a movie theater where he spoke to me of these spectacles which have such a large role in modern life: ‘The philosopher should be interested in everything,’ he said, ‘in everything which influences the masses as well as everything which touches the elite.’ “ S…
Identities: Doctor, Judge, Vagabond
Writers Joris Karl Huysmans and Max Nordau were not the only ones to talk about the “fin de siecle” in the 1890s. Joseph Vacher also used the term on his way to the guillotine. The sensational and grisly case of Vacher as revealed by Emile Fourquet, a juge d’instruction at Belley, and the medical-legalist Alexandre Lassacagne implicated the “King of Assassins” in a series of brutal and violent murders of ten adolescents four male and six female-a…
Introduction Histories: The Philosophy of Today
Memories of the turn of the century: revolutionaries and a bronze colossus at the Place Vendome; a doctor with Europe’s finest collection of brains; a murderer and rapist on the road; a magician and master of illusion; savages on the floor of the stock exchange; a scholar in the world of the ancients; cynical politicians and a woman outraged; in a glittering ballroom, a couple dancing a tango; at the edge of town, a desperate wanderer with a ques…
Distances: In The Revolutionary Garden
1889, the Universal Exposition at Paris; amid the spectacles and wonders of the Pavillion of Electricity, the Gallery of the Machines, and the stupefying achievement of the Eiffel Tower, the casual visitor to the Exposition might be forgiven for not having spent much time at the Musee d’Ethnographie, with its superb collections of artifacts from Europe, the Pacific Islands, Asia, South America, and Africa. To establish his exhibition at the Galer…
Desires: Last Tango At The Academie
In March 1914, “the celebrated metaphysician of the College de France,” one “M. Balgson,” delivered a lecture on a subject previously unexplored by the world’s most famous living philosopher: the tango. The lecture, reported more or less straight-faced by the satirical Paris journal Le Sourire, played on many of the themes which had brought such renown to Henri Bergson, whose weekly lectures on consciousness, memory, and the creative energies of …
Testimonies: Deserving Of Faith
The case was dismissed-declared a “non-lieu”-by the judge. The archives remember them, a man and a little girl, in a dusty file from the Ministry of Justice. This one is titled “L’Affaire Cayotte, 1908. m It contains prosecutor’s reports, scrawled notes from inspectors, yellowed newspaper clippings marked with orange wax pencil. Cayotte was a public school instructor at Francheville and he had been at his work for twenty two years when his prosec…
