An Anarchist “Femme fatale”
Emma Goldman était sans aucun doute la femme anarchiste la plus connue de son époque. Goldman a fait l’objet d’une attention particulière de la part de la presse américaine, notamment en raison des actions violentes menées par les anarchistes en 1892 et 1901, telles que la tentative d’assassinat de l’industriel Henry Clay Frick par Alexander Berkman après la grève des métallurgistes de Homestead, Pennsylvanie, ou le meurtre du président américain…
Emma Goldman and the United States
Emma Goldman had a love-hate relationship with the United States. While she was radicalized there after her arrival as an immigrant who had left Czarist Russia in her teens, the female anarchist spent years fighting the state and its government for more freedom and equality. The First World War witnessed the climax of this struggle, and Goldman’s support for the Bolsheviks and the Russian Revolution turned her into a prominent target of new laws …
An Anarchist Has to Live off Something
Emma Goldman was an important anarchist of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, whose eventful life was impacted by the political developments of her time. She also had to live off her writings, especially once she had been deported from the United States. In this regard, and as a publicist, Goldman often had to make pragmatic decisions. She tried to sell her autobiography Living My Life (1931) for the best price and acted like a tr…
Anarkisme og radikalisering av jødiske immigranter i New York
På slutten av det 19. og begynnelsen av det 20. århundre var New York City sentrum for en økende politisk radikalisering blant immigranter, i særlig grad i det jødiske samfunnet. Dette viste seg å være et komplekst fenomen med mange faktorer som spilte hver sine roller i en radikaliseringsprosess. USA var «mulighetenes land», og mennesker søkte seg dit for å forbedre sine levevilkår. Men for en stor del av immigrantene ble drømmene knust, og de e…
The Orientalist Semiotics of »Dune
Frank Herbert's »Dune« (1965) is considered to be one of the most successful Science Fiction novels of the 20th century. It introduces its readers to a future universe, in which the production of the most valuable resource of the universe - ›spice‹ - is only possible on one vast desert planet called Arrakis. »Dune« offers many different motifs, including a hero that eventually turns into a superhuman being. However, the novel is also rich of orie…
Transatlantic Radicalism
The Atlantic Ocean not only connected North and South America with Europe through trade but also provided the means for an exchange of knowledge and ideas, including political radicalism. Socialists and anarchists would use this “radical ocean” to escape state prosecution in their home countries and establish radical milieus abroad. However, this was often a rather unorganized development and therefore the connections that existed were quite dive…
Migrants' Perspectives, Migrants in Perspective
Analyses how migrants are portrayed in film from different viewpoints Deciphers the semiotics of migration and its representation in cinema Analyses films which depict migration in Africa, the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East Explores films that transgress mainstream popular currents and instead participate in alternative networks, such as internet, festivals, museums, and art-house circuits Presenting the depiction of migration through a va…
Rosa Luxemburg
Rosa Luxemburg war eine der bedeutendsten Intellektuellen des »langen« 19. Jahrhunderts und ihr Wirken in der Politik sowie innerhalb der europäischen Arbeiterbewegung äußerst facettenreich. Sozialismus verstand sie - vor allem zum Unmut der Bolschewiki - als Einheit von politischen und sozialen Freiheiten. Bis heute ist sie deshalb eine Identifikationsfigur, ihre Schriften besitzen eine ungebrochene Aktualität. Luxemburgs vielgestaltiges Leben r…
Die korrumpierte Revolution
Die Russische Revolution von 1917, die in Wirklichkeit aus mehreren Erhebungen bestand, bildet die Zäsur zwischen »langem« 19. und »kurzem« 20. Jahrhundert und leitete das sogenannte »Zeitalter der Extreme« (Eric Hobsbawm) ein. Viele, die an den Erfolg der Revolution geglaubt hatten, wurden von den tatsächlichen Entwicklungen bitter enttäuscht. Wieder einmal war eine Revolution nicht dazu in der Lage gewesen, das zu erreichen, was von vielen erwa…
Anarchistische Imperialismuskritik und staatliche Repression
Der Erste Weltkrieg verursachte harsche Reaktionen der US-amerikanischen Regierung gegen KritikerInnen des Kriegseinsatzes. Ein bekannter Fall für eine solche Reaktion ist der Gerichtsprozess und die Deportation der bekannten US-AnarchistInnen Emma Goldman und Alexander Berkman nach Sowjetrussland im Dezember 1919. Die beiden Radikalen hatten nicht nur die politische Ökonomie des Krieges und die Ausbeutung der US-amerikanischen ArbeiterInnenklass…

Emma Goldman and the Russian Revolution
What impact did Bolshevist rule have on Emma Goldmans’s perception of the Russian Revolutions of 1917 and why did she change her mind, going from defending the Russian Revolution to becoming a crusader against Bolshevism? The Russian Revolution changed the world and determined the history of the 20th century as the French Revolution had determined the history of the 19th century. Left-wing intellectuals around the world greeted the February Revol…

Banzai! And the Others Die—Collective Violence in the Rape of Nanking
In this chapter, Frank Jacob carefully examines another significant manifestation of collective violence in Asian history: the mass atrocities committed by Japanese soldiers against Chinese in the Rape of Nanking in 1937 and 1938. First analyzing at length the contentious historiography and historical evidence surrounding this pivotal episode of collective violence performed by agents of the Japanese state, Jacob then closely examines the violenc…
The Russo-Japanese War and its Shaping of the Twentieth Century
The Russo-Japanese War was in essence a colonial conflict between the expanding interests of Russia and Japan in East Asia. However, while appearing regional, the war itself in fact had a major global impact. The conflict and Japanese victory stimulated the Russian revolutionary movement in 1905 and hence the Russian Revolution of 1917. In addition, the Peace Treaty of Portsmouth created a tension between the United States and Japan that would es…
The Military Revolution in Early Modern Europe
This book challenges the premise that a 'military revolution' prompted the major European powers to enter into an era of global hegemony during the early modern period, and suggests that this theory i
Die deutsche Rolle bei der Modernisierung des japanischen Kaiserreiches
Die Öffnung Japans 1853 weckte bei den westlichen Großmächten Ambitionen, Handelsbeziehungen mit dem bisher beinahe völlig abgeschlossenen Land am Rande Asiens aufzunehmen. Sogar Preußen, das nicht als Seemacht galt, entsandte eine diplomatische Mission, die sogenannte Eulenburg-Expedition. Diese legte den Grundstein für die preußisch-japanischen Beziehungen, welche durch die Entsendung von Spezialisten, die bei der Modernisierung Japans behilfli…
