Out of Empire into Socialist Modernity
In this article the Soviet-African Modern is presented through an intellectual history of exchanges in a triangular geography, outspreading from Moscow to Paris to Port of Spain and Accra. In this geography, postcolonial conditions in Eastern Europe and Africa became interconnected. This shared postcolonial space extended from the Soviet South to Africa. The glue for the transregional imagination was an engagement with the topos of backwardness. …
Alternative Globalizations: Eastern Europe and the Postcolonial World
Globalization has become synonymous with the seemingly unfettered spread of capitalist multinationals, but this focus on the West and western economies ignores the wide variety of globalizing projects that sprang up in the socialist world as a consequence of the end of the European empires. This collection is the first to explore alternative forms of globalization across the socialist world during the Cold War. Gathering the work of established a…
Area studies, regionalwissenschaften, aires culturelles
This chapter aims to shed light on different spatialization and conceptualization of area studies research and institutionalizations, going beyond both a United States (US)-centrism as well as a Cold War-centrism. With its perspective on the terminologies and spatialities in the histories of area studies, the chapter neither presents a teleological narrative toward transregional studies nor does it position area studies as the failed effort to be…
Transregionality in the history of area studies
The history of area studies is itself transregional and this in two ways. Area studies have, first, produced regions and developed narratives about transregional connections by suggesting not only ‘conceptions of geographical, civilizational, and cultural coherence that rely on some sorts of traits’ but also by assuming certain relationships between them. The second way in which the histories of area studies in different parts of the world have t…
The provocation of empirical evidence: Soviet African Studies between enthusiasm and discomfort
Focusing on the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s, the article looks at Africa through the eyes of Soviet scholars, who sought to comprehend the dramatic transformations on the continent. Incipient efforts under Comintern auspices in the 1920s and 1930s had fallen prey to the Stalinist purges. Since the mid-1950s, Soviet African Studies started to flourish, when socialism became a global project on Soviet political agendas in the context of cold war com…
Die wandernde Grenze: Die EU, Polen und der Wandel politischer Räume, 1990-2010
Die Studie untersucht den Wandel des politischen Raumes der EU im Zuge der Osterweiterung des Jahres 2004. Dabei bildet Polen den Dreh-und Angelpunkt der multiperspektivischen Geschichte. Welche Folgen hatte die Verschiebung der EU-Außengrenze nach Osten und Südosten für die Deutung des EU-Raumes? Welch ein politischer Raum entstand in Folge dieser Erweiterung? Ausgehend vom Bild einer ¿wandernden Grenze± gibt Steffi Marungs Studie einen Einblick…
