Imperial Alterity and Identity Slippage
The tradition of postcolonial critique has long noted that the construction of an imperial identity of "alterity," the posture of moral superiority that serves to differentiate the imperialist from those under his or her control and thus legitimate the practice of expansion, is a significant characteristic of imperial discourse. For the most party however, this critical practice has focused on the construct of alterity as a justification for impe…
Of Madness and Empire
This essay examines the rhetorical persona of the “Fool” as employed by General Charles Gordon in six volumes of journals recorded during the siege of Khartoum by Mahdist forces from September to December, 1884. After identifying the particular rhetorical aspects of the “Fool” as social critic/site of ideological contestation, I argue that Gordon utilized this persona to undermine the Gladstonian opposition of an imperial morality based upon econ…
Hearts of darkness and hot zones
This study situates recent popularized accounts of emerging lethal viral strains within the context of a late nineteenth‐century rationale for imperialism‐i.e., the ideologeme of scenic contamination. Defining non‐European lands and peoples as “active” agents capable of “contaminating” the civilized natures of the imperialists who would seek to rule them, this ideologeme justified imperialism as a “defensive” measure designed to control and quara…
The perversion of empire
Professions by British politicians of their nation's responsibility or obligation to provide “just” rule for foreign peoples have long been characterized by critics of the British Empire as being little more than hypocritical ploys intended to obfuscate the “true” economic and racist motivations for nineteenth‐century imperialism. But such criticisms, while undoubtedly accurate in many cases, do not account for the British public's acceptance of …
Levellers”
The Putney debates of 1647 between Puritan radicals and moderates within the New Model Army over political equality are a classic example of the de‐legitimation of demands for political change. The radicals sought to present their proposal for the institution of political equality as an extension of the consent theory of sovereignty that had been employed by Parliament to justify resistance to Charles I. The moderates’ response to this strategy w…
An efficient humanitarianism
The dominant interpretation of the British Parliamentary debates on the abolition of the slave trade is that of a melodramatic confrontation between economic self interest and Christian social ethics. But the argumentative strategies employed by the slave interest and the abolitionists were more complex than historians commonly recognize. By means of an “egoistic‐altruistic” merger, the slavers sought to link their interest with those of the Brit…
The romance as rhetorical dissociation
That the romance can be employed for rhetorical purposes other than reaffirming a culture's values is illustrated by H. Rider Haggard's King Solomon's Mines, a romance that purifies imperialism by dissociating its “appearance” as exploitation from its “reality” as the establishment of justice and the resulting transformation of identity
