Verdi’s Operas, Risorgimento and Ideology of Interpretive Activism
The concept of interpretive activism and interpretive activists, is introduced as a media between cultural objects (Verdi’s operas) and political meanings. The multitude of political and ideological interpretations of Verdi’s operas written in the 1840s, that resulted from the differentiation between socio-political interests of interpretive activists, goes definitely beyond the traditional understanding of Verdi’s music as a convenient ideologic…
Humanitarian imperialism: The politics of anti-slavery activism, 1880-1940. By Amalia Ribi Forclaz
It is very good to have a solid monographic overview of anti-slavery advocacy and politics in their later and least well-known period. Focusing on the time between the turn of the twentieth century and the Second World War, Amalia Ribi Forclaz's research has the truly international scope of covering several European contexts. She deftly delineates the complex landscape of interactions between several types of actors around the issue of slavery: t…
Beyond and against capitalism: Abolitionism and the Moral Dimension of Humanitarian Practice
How do we understand the origins of modern humanitarianism and what can these origins tell us about the study of humanitarianism in general? Here I revisit a critical juncture of the formation of modern humanitarianism, the late 18th-century movement to abolish the British slave trade, through the lens of a prevailing paradigm that has explained it as deriving from the logic of capitalist development. A closer look at this early phase of abolitio…
The Origins of Global Humanitarianism: Religion, Empires, and Advocacy
Whether lauded and encouraged or criticized and maligned, action in solidarity with culturally and geographically distant strangers has been an integral part of European modernity. Traversing the complex political landscape of early modern European empires, this book locates the historical origins of modern global humanitarianism in the recurrent conflict over the ethical treatment of non-Europeans that pitted religious reformers against secular …

Ideias versus redes sociais: Ativismo à distância na Inglaterra do século XVIII
Quais são as fontes históricas das mobilizações em torno de questões distantes - uma característica típica da modernidade? Este artigo examina a dinâmica social que produziu os primeiros casos de campanhas sustentadas em torno de questões distantes na Grã-Bretanha do século XVIII. O surgimento dessas campanhas é muitas vezes entendido como determinado pela ascensão nesse período de novas ideologias de compaixão humanitária. Para testar o papel de…

The religious field and the path-dependent transformation of popular politics in the Anglo-American world, 1770-1840
Activist Religion, Empire, and the Emergence of Modern Long-Distance Advocacy Networks
Considering long-distance advocacy as a distinctive institution of European modernity, the article examines the genesis and history of networks engaged in political action on behalf of distant others. Ever since the beginnings of European expansion overseas in the sixteenth century, such networks have originated from a persistent pattern of radicalization of religious actors against rival networks within the context of empire. In the late eightee…
Ethnicity as cognition
Interpretive Activism and the Political Uses of Verdi's Operas in the 1840s
The concept of interpretive activism as a relational position and a practical accomplishment is a useful analytical tool for the study of audiences conceived not as a conglomerate of individuals but as loose networks in which the ability to construct and impose political meanings is unequally distributed. An analysis of the political uses of Verdi's operas in the 1840s demonstrates the power of interpretive activists to impose on audience co-memb…
