This thesis explores imperial representation and authority in early medieval Europe, c. 800 - c. 1000. Twentieth-century historiography surrounding imperial titulature and the exercise of emperorship as a form of rulership distinct from kingship is extensive, especially in German scholarship, where Carl Erdmann's ideas regarding his two proposed categories of early medieval emperorship - Roman and non-Roman - have been debated and developed at length. However, recent scholarship has shown that there is room for significant reinterpretation in our approach to contemporary conceptualisations of both emperorship and romanitas. The present study examines the interactions between emperorship and romanitas, especially the Roman imperial tradition. Four case studies are examined: the imperial coronation of Charlemagne; the reign of Symeon of Bulgaria; the imperial styles of the Anglo-Saxon kings Ãthelstan and Edgar; and the evolving imperial representation of the first three Ottonian emperors. Within this comparative framework, it is argued that early medieval imperial authority and its representation drew upon a Roman 'vocabulary of empire' - the imagery and symbolism of both ancient and early medieval (Byzantine) Roman emperorship. However, this was not done out of a desire to become Roman, or to recreate or usurp Roman emperorship. Instead, imperial romanitas was used throughout early medieval Europe as a convenient language through which emperorship as an elevated form of political authority could be expressed. This was deployed alongside a variety of different and evolving meanings that 'Rome' and romanitas could take on - including the idea of Rome as the wellspring of orthodox Christendom, which was becoming increasingly central in the Latin Christian West in this period. At its heart, early medieval imperial authority outside of the Byzantine Empire was hegemonic rather than specifically Roman. Imperial representation generally seemed to revolve around articulating the ruler's special preeminence, and the means by which this was done could change depending on the setting and the audience of the imperial display in question.

Augustus ,empire ,res gestae ,orbis terrarum ,imperium ,amicitia ,Ancient history ,D51-90 - Abstract
Having defeated all his political enemies and expanded the rule of Rome enormously, Octavian, from 27 BC known as Augustus, ended the civil wars which had plagued the Late Republic and founded the system known as the Roman Principate. The Res Gestae purports to be a retrospective survey by Augustus of his own public achievements in restoring the res publica and conquering the world. It was published in Rome but the only surviving copies were found in the new and distant province of Galatia. In this paper I will try to explain how Augustus, as the founder of the new era known today as ‘the Roman Empire’, envisages and presents Roman rule under his leadership by analysing the content of the Res Gestae. From it we can see that there indeed emerges a concept similar to our ‘empire’. The narrative structure of the Res Gestae shows that Roman imperial rule is conceived of by Augustus in a scheme of core-periphery, in which the core is composed of the provinces under direct Roman control, while the periphery is an area of more vaguely subject people or places maintained by threats and intervention, or more weakly by ‘friendship’ (amicitia), which vary according to the historical specifics of contact between these areas or peoples and Rome. In both cases, whether subjection is in the name of the ‘rule’ or the ‘friendship’ of Roman people, it is Augustus’ personal authority that appears to matter the most, which indicates that Augustus’ institution of a monarchic system was a decisive element in the development of this new holistic concept of Roman imperial rule.

The development of Administration from the pre-modern „Empire" to the modern „State" is analyzed in three steps. Firstly, this paper examines 12 characteristic elements which distinguish the distinct, modern bureaucrat as a type from the multifaceted „servants" of pre-modern rulers. Secondly, the paper compares 13 typical differences between premodern empires and modern states, which also ultimately reveal plurality or unity. Thirdly, on the basis of this double typology a three-level theory of state building has been developed. The micro-level concerns the individual and collective will for power, whereas the socio-cultural macro-level refers to the capitalist marketeconomy, to the cultural heritage of the ancient Roman Empire and in that context to Latin Christianity. The meso-level of political systems is characterized by the rise of competing power centres in wars. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Diese Dissertation analysiert den Zusammenhang von neokonservativer Logik und der Idee des „American Decline“ in der außenpolitischen Debatte der USA von den 1960er-Jahren bis 2021 mit einem Fokus auf der Obama-Präsidentschaft (2009-17). Unter Anwendung der Imperiumstheorie untersucht sie Texte führender neokonservativer Plattformen und Denker_innen, die sich mit dem Wesen, den Aufgaben, den Kosten, dem Nutzen und der Zukunft amerikanischer Weltmacht befassen. Die Studie enthüllt die Niedergangsidee als einen integralen Bestandteil der neokonservativen Logik, der US-Superiorität legitimiert und stabilisiert. Sie vermittelt den Amerikaner_innen einen höheren Zweck und Orientierung, unterdrückt aber alternative Pfade für die Vereinigten Staaten durch die Gleichsetzung von US-Superiorität mit Weltordnung., This dissertation examines the relationship between neoconservative logic and the idea of „American Decline” in the U.S. foreign policy debate from the 1960s until 2021 with a focus on the Obama presidency (2009-17). Building on imperial theory, the project analyses texts from leading neoconservative platforms and thinkers, dealing with the nature, tasks, costs, benefits and future of American world power. The study reveals the idea of decline as integral to neoconservative logic, as an element that legitimizes and stabilizes U.S. superiority. It provides Americans with a sense of mission and orientation and suppresses alternative paths for the United States due to its equation of U.S. superiority with world order.

WAR correspondents ,BRITISH colonies ,NINETEENTH century ,MYTH ,MILITARY science - Abstract
The article presents the dual impact of British India's North-West Frontier on the British idea of empire. The Frontier was an imperial myth - the special interpretation of the past - which provided a pattern of behavior that should be followed by British imperial soldiers and officials. The myth itself was propagated by war correspondents and writers, such as Rudyard Kipling, but the Frontier also served as an "imperial laboratory" for a new generation of military technocrats (e.g. Charles Callwell) who could develop and describe their outlook on asymmetric warfare. The new approach to so-called small wars was a local variant of the general changes in military organization that occurred in the second half of the 19th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

15. The Fixation of (Moral) Belief: Making Imperial Administration Modern.
- Author
-
Wilson, Nicholas Hoover
- Abstract
This article argues that the transition between early-modern and modern organization of empires—especially the administrative outlooks and institutional logics used to govern them—revolved around how moral conflict was viewed within imperial organizations themselves and by metropolitan audiences. Early modern imperial organizations were deeply patrimonial, and hence relied on a style of embedded moral reasoning that distanced and segmented their affairs from the metropole. By contrast, modern empires order what they govern in hierarchies that are nominally objective and whose criteria seem universal. Using a case study of the British Empire’s crisis and transformation at the turn of the 19
th century, I argue that modern imperial administration emerged because networks of moral justification, which provided the scaffolding for patrimonial early-modern empire, eroded in the face of “disinterested” metropolitan scrutiny. This scrutiny created an audience for bitter political and moral conflicts among imperial administrators, who then used disembedded moral claims to mobilize support. Résumé: Cet article étudie le rôle de la perception publique du conflit moral pour la transition entre les organisations impériales de type pré-moderne et moderne, en particulier du point de vue des approches administratives et des logiques institutionnelles mobilisées pour les gouverner. Les premières organisations impériales modernes étaient profondément patrimoniales et s’appuyaient sur un style « implanté » (embedded ) de raisonnement moral qui contribuait à éloigner et segmenter leurs affaires courantes des métropoles. À l’opposé, les empires modernes ordonnent ce qu’ils gouvernent dans des hiérarchies théoriquement objectives et sur la base de critères qui semblent universels. À l’aide d’une étude de cas consacrée à la crise et à la transformation de l’empire britannique au tournant du xixe siècle, cet article montre que l’émergence de l’administration impériale moderne repose sur l’affaiblissement des réseaux de justification morale, qui constituaient l’échafaudage de l’empire patrimonial, face à un contrôle métropolitain de type « désintéressé ». Ce contrôle a contribué à créer une audience pour les conflits politiques et moraux entre les administrateurs impériaux, qui ont ensuite utilisé des revendications morales « désimplantées » (disembedded ) pour mobiliser leur soutien. Zusammenfassung: Beim Übergang von vormodern zu modern organisierten Weltreichen, und hier insbesondere in puncto Verwaltungsperspektiven und institutionelle Logik, um sie zu regieren, wurde die Frage, wie moralische Konflikte innerhalb der Reichsverbände einerseits und im Mutterland andererseits gesehen wurden, zum Angelpunkt. Neuzeitliche Imperien waren vermögensrechtlich aufgestellt und stützten sich auf eine moralisch verankerte Argumentation, die zu einer Trennung ihrer Angelegenheiten vom Mutterland führte. Ganz anders moderne Weltreiche, die ihre Regierungsstruktur hierarchisch gliedern, die rein formal betrachtet objektiv sind und deren Kriterien universell erscheinen. Aufbauend auf einer Fallstudie, die sich mit der Krise und Umwandlung des britischen Empires Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts auseinandersetzt, behauptet dieser Artikel, dass die Entstehung der modernen Kolonialreichsverwaltung auf die Zerrüttung der moralischen Rechtfertigungsnetze, das ursprüngliche Gerüst der frühen, vermögensrechtlich organisierten Weltreiche, zurückzuführen ist, die sich wiederum durch eine “desinteressierte” Überprüfung durch das Mutterland erklären lässt. Diese Überprüfung führte zu harten politischen und moralischen Konflikten zwischen imperialen Verwaltern, die schließlich durch “unverankerte” moralische Anforderungen Unterstützung zu erwirken suchten.

Magerski, Christine
- Abstract
The article examines the ordering function of the concept of origin in a specific constellation: the post-imperial novel. Using the example of the literature of the so-called Habsburg myth, it asks what role the origin plays for authors whose geopolitical space of origin has disappeared at the time of their writing. What are the significant similarities and differences between the literary texts and biographical histories of post-imperial authors? And how do they correlate with the imperial as a comprehensive as well as a differentiated space of origin? To answer these questions, Joseph Roth and Robert Musil are considered from the theoretical perspective of the literary field: In a first step, the concept of origin is clarified in terms of literary studies. The second and third steps turn to the literary texts and examine the ways in which the image of imperial origin is generated in Roth's Radetzky March and Musil's Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften. The fourth and final step moves from the narratives to the authors by examing their disposition in search of a homology between the post-imperial novel and the geopolitical context of its origin.

ZusammenfassungIn der Öffentlichkeit durch das verwandte Thema des Kolonialismus überschattet, haben Imperien dennoch in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten ein zunehmendes Interesse gefunden, bei dem sich die Geschichtswissenschaft und die Sozialwissenschaften berühren. Der russische Angriff auf die Ukraine im Februar 2022 hat das Thema „Imperien“ und „Imperialismus“ erneut und unübersehbar auf die Tagesordnung gesetzt. Der Beitrag nimmt eine Vorstellung und Kritik der 2021 erschienenen „Oxford World History of Empire“ zum Anlass für eine breitere Skizzierung imperientheoretischer Grundpositionen im Spannungsfeld zwischen Geopolitik und Kulturgeschichte. Die ambitionierte Einleitung des Werkes wird mit einer Reihe ähnlicher programmatischer Texte aus den letzten Jahren verglichen. Die kritische Bilanz dieser Versuche, dem ausufernden Thema „Imperien“ gerecht zu werden, führt zu eher skeptischen Schlussfolgerungen. Ein Höhepunkt an intellektueller Raffinesse war in einigen Büchern erreicht worden, die um 2010 erschienen. Die „Oxford World History of Empire“ bleibt hinter diesem Niveau zurück.

Nach der Russischen Revolution von 1905 wurde das Konzept der Hygiene in eine staatliche Präventionspraxis übersetzt: Es entstanden mobile Hygieneausstellungen, Gesundheitsfürsorgen in den Dörfern, Gesundheitsstatistiken und die Amtsperson des Sanitätsarztes wurde eingeführt. Angelika Strobel analysiert die Auswirkungen dieser gesundheitspräventiven Maßnahmen auf die Verwaltungsapparate und die Bevölkerung. Am Beispiel der ländlichen Selbstverwaltung und der Eisenbahnbetriebe verdeutlicht sie die Praxis von Public Health in der Verwaltung des russischen Imperiums und leistet damit einen Beitrag zur Geschichte von Verwaltungspraxis und Staatlichkeit in der europäischen Moderne.

In this thesis, I examine how geopolitical ideas about the future development of the Russian Federation changed after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and how the Vladimir Putin regime has subsequently built on this debate. Using Russian political and geopolitical thought, I demonstrate that the key questions to which the Russian elite (whether intellectuals or members of the ruling class) have attempted to find answers over the past two hundred years remain relevant and continue to shape social discurs: For example, the question of how open Russia should be to foreign influences, whether it represents a European, Asian, or unique civilization, and whether the Russian nation has an exceptional, messianic mission to which it must subordinate its existence. Different schools of geopolitics have successively offered different - mutually contradictory - answers to these questions. Thus, I first present the history of the search for the Russian idea, and then, using speeches and articles delivered and written by Vladimir Putin in particular, I argue that none of these geopolitical conceptions alone fully explains the direction in which today's Russia is heading, but that in their summary they can in some way explaining the gradual changes in Putin's rhetoric and policies. Whereas earlier geopolitical...

24. Neoliberalisme, "Imperium" en Globale Geweld.
- Author
-
OLIVIER, BERT
- Abstract
The present is a time of endless, albeit sporadic violence or armed conflict globally. This is abundantly evident in news programmes on international television channels such as CNN, Sky News or Al Jazeera, as well as in newspapers. Such armed conflict, whether as part of "the war on terror", or between government forces and rebels challenging such governments in different parts of the world (for example in Syria), is happening under the regime of the currently hegemonic economic order, namely neoliberal capitalism, where political power and economic power are increasingly fused into what Hardt and Negri (2001:9) describe as "a properly capitalist order". No doubt representatives of the world's dominant states would justify such (particularly military) violence as being necessitated by the requirements for global peacekeeping, or by "terrorist" attempts to undermine the "forces of law and order". The fact remains, however, that military action, even if conceived of, according to Hardt and Negri in Empire, as international "policing", is invariably accompanied by violent conflict. What would a comparative historical investigation into this state of affairs bring to light, and if understood as "aggressive" acts, would the violence uncovered by such an account lend itself to a psychoanalytic-theoretical interpretation in terms of "aggressivity" as condition of the possibility of aggression? An attempt to answer these questions in an exploratory manner is undertaken here. In light of the military character of global armed conflict today, one might ask whether "war" still means the same thing as in former eras, for example during the time of the two World Wars of the 20th century. Hardt and Negri's work in this regard is instructive -- they call the present the age of "Empire", which means the emergence of a novel, supranational force at various levels, including the political, juridical, technological, economic and cultural. In Multitude -- War and Democracy in the Age of Empire (2006), the sequel to Empire (2001), they elaborate on the changed meaning of war in the present age, compared to what it meant in the modern age (namely, legal and "legitimate" state violence), to the point where it "tends toward the absolute" (2006:18) in the sense that it has become the rule, rather than the exception. They claim that this global condition has to be addressed first, before a global democracy can be conceived at all. The Thirty-Years (German-European) War of the 17th century is seen by them as marking the transition from a medieval conception of war to a distinctly modern concept, which introduces the notion of the sovereign nation state. For them, the attacks on the Pentagon and on the World Trade Centre in New York on September 11, 2001, on the other hand, marked the symbolic transition from a modern to a postmodern notion of war. While warfare in the modern era was conceived of as a matter of armed struggle between two or more sovereign nation states, and was known as "conventional warfare" (Hardt & Negri 2006:3-6), the idea of civil war applied where intra-national, armed conflict erupted. Today, however, Hardt and Negri (2006:12-14) claim, war is no longer what it was in modern terms. There is no longer clearly recognizable differences between the role of the military and police functions, with the result that one increasingly witnesses military personnel executing "police" missions aimed at "keeping the peace" in global political space. In other words, they assert, modern warfare between sovereign states is no longer the reigning paradigm; war has become a pervasive condition in the postmodern era of globalization, and it has increasingly assumed the guise of global civil war, if the latter means military, armed conflict between different groups within the "same" (previously sovereign national, but now increasingly sovereign, inter- and even supra-national, neoliberal, globalised) space. Given the crucial role played by images -- including images of violence -- in the distinctive media-oriented or "informatised" character of contemporary society (Hardt & Negri 2001:280-289; 297-300; 322-323), Lacanian psychoanalysis presents itself as an appropriate theory for understanding global violence. In Lacanian terms, images play a crucial role regarding aggressivity, which is the condition of the possibility of violence or actual aggression (Evans 1996:534). Lacan's early work on the family complexes (Lee 1990:13-17), the mirror stage and on aggressivity (Lacan 1977 and 1977a) therefore proves to be helpful in making sense of the conditions of pervasive, image-related. violence in global neoliberal space today. Aggressivity towards others is in the first place aggressivity towards oneself in the guise of the misleadingly unified (mirror-) image, ambivalently experienced as being oneself and as being "other" simultaneously (Olivier 2009). This "otherness" is transferred to other individuals (or collectively, the "image" of other nations or groups) in various social relations, and forms the basis for rivalry and aggressivity as the condition of violence. Seen through the lens of Lacan's theory of imaginary identification and aggressivity, the attacks of September 11, 2001, on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in the United States display the same pattern of identification with an (ideological) image of spurious unity, which simultaneously attracts and alienates, concomitantly engendering aggressive rivalry with the "other" in oneself as well as in others. A closer psychoanalytical look at 9/11, the event referred to by Hardt and Negri as marking a symbolic transition between "modern" war and "postmodern" war, and one in which images in global media space played a crucial role, yields interesting insights, therefore, particularly when combined with Derrida's (2003) analysis of the event. He shows that a network of mutually reinforcing agencies, including the media, technoscience, as well as military, economic and diplomatic institutions, produced what subsequently became known as 9/11. This incident first became visible as "event" in its constituent mediatised forms after having been beamed through the "prism" of language, dominant discourses, images, media and communication channels. Hence the name, 9/11, within which the image of the imploding towers has been inscribed, has become a site of identification in globalized space, dominated by the forces of Empire. The logic of identification and rivalry, accompanied by aggressivity, is inseparable from such an identification process in light of what the image signifies, and one can therefore conclude that such rivalry and aggression, or violence (engendered by latent aggressivity) is playing itself out globally between the forces of Empire and those agencies that oppose them. David Pavón-Cuéllar's (2010:284-285) Lacanian discourse-analytical perspective helps one understand this as "symbolic" (as opposed to directly "physical") violence insofar as discourse must, of necessity, "kill" the real being of subjects. (Recall that, for Lacan, the signifier always "kills" the "real", or that which surpasses symbolisation.) Hence, in addition to the people who died in the collapse of the twin towers, at the level of the Lacanian "real", the subjects who have articulated their resistance to the hegemony of the capitalist states comprising Empire (not only in language, but through the work and suffering of their bodies), are repeatedly "killed" by the master's discourse emanating from the reactionary reassertion of global power in the wake of 9/11.

In order to consider the question of whether empire is a subject for philosophy, I do three things. I sketch an original typology of three types of state, which I call polis, imperium and cosmopolis, in order to show that the second is an important philosophical conception which lies behind the terminology of empire and imperialism. I also consider modern theories of empire and imperialism in order to indicate some of their limitations as theories. And finally I indicate that it is important even for philosophers to recognise that all imperial terminology emerges out of a very complicated history in which the concept of imperium has been extended and distorted in meaning, so that, at best, any good theory of empire or imperialism can only be some sort of recapitulation of that history. Neither the second nor the third of these claims undermines the claim of imperium to be a concept of the state which is of great political and philosophical significance.

IRREGULAR warfare ,RUSSIA-Ukraine relations - Abstract
The author analyzes the causes and consequences of undeclared war of Russia against Ukraine. Among the main reasons - the desire to restore Russian leadership's geopolitical influence in the former Soviet Union by building a new type of empire. In order to reach it official Moscow uses a wide range of tools - from economic pressure and blackmail to armed aggression on the territories of the former USSR. The author is convinced that the annexation of the Crimea and the undeclared war of Russia against Ukraine were the result of revanchist policy of Russian President Vladimir Putin aimed at the return of influential world power status. Achieving this goal involves prevention of Europeanisation and democratization of post-Soviet countries, the main jewel among which is Ukraine. Exit from the influence of Russia is possible, according to the author, through the integration of Ukraine into the EU and NATO. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

27. Late medieval Germany: an under-Stated nation?
- Abstract
‘Judged purely by its success in creating a nation-state, German history has to be deemed a failure until the nineteenth century.’ This familiar view of the historical relationship between power and the German nation gains added significance from the context in which it here appears: in a recent introduction to the political development of late medieval Europe. The book's co-authors do, it is true, distance themselves at once from such a narrow perspective. But taken on its own, it seems to encapsulate a piece of well-established common ground among historians of pre-modern and modern Germany – and particularly those writing within the broad Anglophone historiographical tradition. Generally speaking, historians of the modern and the pre-modern nation have been hampered by a failure to pay enough regard to each other's findings and approaches. In the case of Germany, however, the problem has traditionally been, in a way, almost an opposite one, with loosely framed grand narratives and vague, sometimes unvoiced, assumptions and connections being traded freely back and forth between students of different epochs of the German past. Not uncommonly, medievalists have fashioned their accounts with at least half an eye on events far distant in time. Modernists seem at first glance less encumbered, with their bold insistence on the German nation's quintessential modernity. Some are even at pains to declare that there is nothing to say on their subject before, at earliest, the closing years of the eighteenth century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

By the early ninth century, the responsibility for a series of social, religious and political transformations had become an integral part of running the Carolingian empire. This became especially clear when, in 813/4, Louis the Pious and his court seized the momentum generated by their predecessors and broadened the scope of these reforms ever further. These reformers knew they represented a movement greater than the sum of its parts; the interdependence between those wielding imperial authority and those bearing responsibility for ecclesiastical reforms was driven by comprehensive, yet still surprisingly diverse expectations.Taking this diversity as a starting point, this book takes a fresh look at the optimistic first decades of the ninth century. Extrapolating from a series of detailed case studies rather than presenting a new grand narrative, it offers new interpretations of contemporary theories of personal improvement and institutional correctio, and shows the self-awareness of its main instigators as they pondered what it meant to be a good Christian in a good Christian empire.

Languages played a crucial role in the nation-building processes of the 19th century. It is impossible to investigate these processes not taking into consideration the imperial phenomenon. The aim of this article is to analyze and compare peculiarities of language and educational practices that characterized the development of the Jewish and Polish communities in what is referred to as the «Western outskirts» of the Russian Empire. The elimination of the Polish educational institutions was accompanied by the elaboration of options for including the Polish youth into the common imperial context through the educational system, and through the system of higher education in the first place. However, the Polish language maintained the status of the language of record keeping, court proceedings, and daily communication until the November Uprising (1830-1831), which significantly complicated the task of the local Poles’ assimilation.The article hypothesizes that competitive surrounding that was created by the Hebrew and Yiddish supporters, who were aligned with the followers of the Russian language oriented assimilation project, fostered the crystallization and norm introduction of both Jewish languages, which was happening with simultaneous development of their literary standards. The project on the establishment of the Jewish teacher training institutions with elements of secular education, the Russian language and the Russian management proved to be inviable as it failed to conform to Jewish traditional religious education.The methodology of the research: the article uses the comparative method to draw comparisons between language and educational practices of the representatives of the Polish and Jewish communities of the Southwestern and Northwestern territories during «the long 19th century», the elements of constructionist methodology enables the author to investigate the role of language marker in the implementation of the Polish and Jewish national projects. Instrumentarium of a so-called «new empire history» allows considering a destructive influence on national languages development in the nation-building process. The outlined methodology also testifies the presence of the novelty elements in the suggested material. Starting from the middle of the 19th century the communicative dominance in the Russian empire was given to the Russian language. Other languages occupied their local niches, which largely limited their usage and functioning. The efforts of the authorities to reduce the communicative area of the national languages usage and to diminish their status had the perverse effect. The oppression only encouraged the creators of national «projects» to make every effort to standardize, expand the spheres of language usage, to actively use them as languages of literature and science. Questions related to the consolidation of the status of state languages in the newly created nation-states after the destruction of one empire and under new political circumstances in the context of another empire need further studies., Językam należała jedna z kluczowych ról w procesie budowania społeczeństwa w XIX wieku. Niemożliwe jest badanie tych procesów poza okresem imperialnym. Głównym celem proponowanego artykułu jest analiza i porównanie cech edukacji i praktyk językowych, które charakteryzowały rozwój społeczności żydowskiej i polskiej na tzw. “zachodnich peryferiach” Imperium Rosyjskiego. Likwidacji polskich instytucji edukacyjnych towarzyszył rozwój wariantów włączenia polskiej młodzieży w kontekst imperialny poprzez system edukacji, a przede wszystkim, szkoły wyższe. Jednak, utrzymanie języka polskiego jako języka dokumentów, sądownictwa, codziennej komunikacji aż do powstania listopadowego w latach 1830-1831 znacznie skomplikowało zadanie asymilacji lokalnych Polaków.Przypuszcza się, że środowisko konkurencyjne stworzone przez zwolenników używania języka hebrajskiego i jidysz, w które dołączyli się sympatyzatorzy projektu asymilacyjnego (na język rosyjski), sprzyjało krystalizacji i unormowaniu każdego języka żydowskiego, jednocześnie rozwijając ich standardy literackie. Projekt stworzenia żydowskich instytutów nauczycielskich z elementami świeckiej edukacji, w języku rosyjskim i pod rosyjskim kierownictwem okazał się nierealnym z powodu niemożliwości osiągnięcia zgody z tradycyjną żydowską edukacją religijną.Metodologia: W artykule wykorzystano metodę porównawczą dla porównania praktyk językowych i edukacyjnych przedstawicieli społeczności polskiej i żydowskiej z terytoriów południowo-zachodnich i północno-zachodnich regionów w “długim XIX wieku”. Elementy metodologii konstruktywistycznej pozwoliły zbadać rolę znacznika języka w realizacji polskiego i żydowskiego projektów narodowych. Zestaw narzędzi tak zwanej “nowej historii imperium” umożliwił rozważenie nie tylko destrukcyjnego wpływu na rozwój języków narodowych w tworzeniu narodu. Przedstawiona metodologia potwierdza również obecność elementu nowości w proponowanym materiale.W Imperium Rosyjskim od połowy XIX wieku dominacja komunikacyjna stopniowo przechodzi do języka rosyjskiego. Inne języki zostały przeniesione do ich własnych nisz, co w dużej mierze ograniczyło ich użycie i wykorzystanie. Próby władz ograniczyć przestrzeń komunikacyjną w zakresie używania języków narodowych i zmniejszenia ich statusu przyniosły odwrotny skutek. Ich ucisk tylko zachęcił twórców narodowych “projektów” do podjęcia wszelkich wysiłków w celu standartyzacji, rozszerzenia dziedzin ich zastosowia, aktywnego wykorzystywania ich jako języków literatury i nauki. Dalsze badania wymagają pytań związanych z wzmocnieniem statusu języków państwowych w nowo utworzonych państwach narodowych po zniszczeniu całego imperium i nowych warunków politycznych w kontekście tych państw., Мовам належала одна із ключових ролей в націотворчих процесах ХІХ ст. Дослідження цих процесів в окреслений період неможливо поза межами імперського. Головним завданням запропонованої статті є аналіз та порівняння особливостей освіти та мовних практик, які характеризували розвиток єврейських та польських громад на так званих «західних окраїнах» Російської імперії. Ліквідація польських за характером навчальних закладів супроводжувалась розробкою варіантів включення польської молоді до загальноімперського контексту через систему освіти, й перш за все, вищу. Однак, збереження за польською статусу мови діловодства, судочинства, щоденного спілкування до Листопадового повстання 1830-1831 рр. значно ускладнило завдання асиміляції місцевих поляків. Висловлюється припущення, що конкуруюче середовище, що було створене прихильниками використання івриту та їдишу, до яких долучались симпатики асимілітаційного проекту з орієнтацією на російську мову, сприяло кристалізації та унормуванню кожної єврейської мови із одночасним розвитком їх літературних стандартів. Проект зі створення єврейських вчительських інститутів з елементами світської освіти, російською мовою та російським керівництвом виявився нежиттєздатним через неможливість досягти їх узгодження з єврейською традиційно-релігійною освітою. Методологія: у статті використано компаративний метод для порівняння мовних та освітніх практик представників польських та єврейських громад Південно-Західного та Північно-Західного краю протягом «довгого ХІХ ст.», елементи конструктивістської методології дозволили дослідити роль мовного маркеру в реалізації польського та єврейського національних проектів. Інструментарій так званої «нової імперської історії» дозволив розглянути не лише деструктивний вплив на розвиток національних мов в націотворенні. Окреслена методологія засвідчує й наявність елементу новизни в запропонованому матеріалі. В Російській імперії від середини XIX ст. комунікативне домінування поступово закріплюється за російською мовою. Іншим мовам відводилися свої, локальні ніші, які значною мірою обмежували їх вживання та використання. намагання влади скоротити комунікативний простір використання національних мов та принизити їх статус мали цілком зворотній ефект. Їх утиски лише стимулювали творців національних «проєктів» докладати максимум зусиль для унормування, розширення сфер вжитку, активного використання в якості мов літератури та науки. Подальших досліджень потребують питання, пов’язані із закріпленням статусів державних мов у новостворених національних державах після руйнації однієї імперії та нових політичних обставин в умовах іншої.

Das vorliegende Werk widmet sich diesen Transformationen während der ersten Jahrzehnte des neunten Jahrhunderts, als das Reich noch vom Optimismus seiner Oberschicht geprägt war. Dabei wird keine neue große Analyse angeboten, sondern auf der Grundlage der reichlich zum Thema vorhandenen Detailstudien eine neue Interpretation der zeitgenössischen Wahrnehmung von der Verbesserung des eigenen Verhaltens einerseits und der institutionellen Reformen andererseits vorgelegt. Das Buch zeigt das Ausmaß an Reflexion, das die Träger der karolingischen Reformen aufwiesen - immer mit der Leitfrage im Kopf, was einen guten Christen in einem guten, christlichen Reich ausmacht.

Artykuł poświęcony jest omówieniu książki Adama Nowakowskiego W Kraju Tysiąca Jezior. Obraz Finlandii w rosyjskiej literaturze podróżniczej (1809–1917). Monografia rozpatruje z perspektywy imagologicznej relacje rosyjskich podróżników odwiedzających Wielkie Księstwo Finlandzkie. Chronologiczne uporządkowanie i prezentacja badanych tekstów pozwoliła ukazać proces powstawania i ewolucji heteroobrazu Finlandii i jej mieszkańców w rosyjskiej literaturze podróżniczej na przestrzeni stu lat. Wizerunek ów ewoluował od imperialnego protekcjonizmu do idealizacji Finlandii jako najbardziej rozwiniętej i zeuropeizowanej prowincji Rosji Romanowów. Zgromadzony i skrupulatnie przeanalizowany przez autora monografii materiał pozwala uznać omówioną pracę naukową jako mającą istotny wkład w polskie badania imagologiczne. The aim of the article is the review of Adam Nowakowski’s work In the Land of Thousand Lakes. The image of Finland in the Russian travel literature (1809-1917). According to the perspective of imagology this author analyses different texts of Russian travelers who were visiting The Great Duchy of Finland. Those texts are ordered and represented chronologically, and it lets to show not only the process of creation of the various image of Finland and its inhabitants in the Russian travel literature, but also the evolution of this image during over than hundred years. The image of Finland and its inhabitants has been changed a lot – from empire protectionism to idealization of this land as the most developed and European province of Russian Empire. The material gathered in the monograph and parsed by the author very accurately allows to recognize Adam Nowakowski’s work as an important scientific research for Polish imagology.

Der Text reagiert auf in den letzten Jahren vorgelegte Beiträge, eine Soziologie des Krieges im Rahmen der Luhmann’schen Theorie gesellschaftlicher Differenzierung zu entfalten. Der jüngste Beitrag hierzu in dieser Zeitschrift stammt aus Barbara Kuchlers Feder (ZfS 6/2013) und ist die komprimierte Version ihrer Dissertation, in der Kuchler den Krieg der modernen Gesellschaft insbesondere unter dem Gesichtspunkt funktionaler Differenzierung erörtert. Sie steht damit in der Tradition der (liberalen) Modernisierungstheorie, die funktionale Differenzierung stets als dominante gesellschaftliche Differenzierungsform der modernen „Weltgesellschaft“ konzipiert hat. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht Kuchlers systemtheoretische Kernthesen und zeigt, dass dem behaupteten Verhältnis von funktionaler Differenzierung und Krieg grundsätzlich mit Skepsis zu begegnen ist. In kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit Kuchler werden Grenzen der Theorie funktionaler Differenzierung und bleibende Herausforderungen historisch-soziologischer Forschung zur Rolle des Krieges in der Moderne identifiziert., This article deals with several current proposals to apply Niklas Luhmann’s theory of social systems to the sociology of war. In a recent contribution to this journal (ZfS 6/2013) Barbara Kuchler suggested that many features of modern wars can be understood along the lines of Luhmann’s understanding of functional differentiation. According to modernization theory, the differentiation of societies is at the core of the sociological conception of the rise of modernity, and the concept of functional differentiation is a widely accepted element in the theory of world society. My argumentation points in the opposite direction: I maintain that a comparative analysis of wars leads to a critical revision and new interpretation of the role of war in the emergence of modernity. In a critical discussion of Kuchler’s contribution, the limits of systems theory as well as noteworthy challenges for historical-sociological research on war in the modern age are identified.

This article seeks to understand how Copenhagen functioned as the political core ofthe Danish empire from absolutism in 1660 to the loss of Norway in 1814, thereby contributingto the debate on how empires hang together. My focus is the imperial middlemenor intermediaries who became astonishingly loyal to the core. This loyalty wasensured not through circulation of officials across the different parts of the empire, butthrough asymmetrical contracting, various strategies of control, binding and pivotingof local elites. The professionalization of civil servants involved much continuity withthe old landowning and noble elite and ensured that corruption, deceit or local autonomymovements could be sanctioned quickly. There was nothing inevitable in the fallof the Danish empire and its transformation into a rump nation-state. Instead, imperialrule was a dominant imaginary within which almost all protest against absolutistpower took place right up until the Napoleonic wars.

W ramach nie-Marksowskiego materializmu historycznego możliwe jest wyszczególnienie pewnej formy społeczeństwa przedkapitalistycznego - społeczeństwa feudalizmu państwowego. Według Leszka Nowaka ta społeczno-ekonomiczna formacja charakterystyczna była dla Rosji pomiędzy XV a XVII wiekiem. Tymczasem, podobne struktury społeczne zauważyć można w Imperium Osmańskim w jego klasycznym okresie (tj. 1300-1600), Ameryce Łacińskiej pod panowaniem hiszpańskim oraz w państwie Zakonu Krzyżackiego w Prusach Wschodnich. W feudalizmie państwowym klasa panująca łączy dyspozycję środkami przymusu i środkami produkcji. Państwo będąc jednocześnie największym właścicielem, używa metod politycznych w sferze ekonomii. Jednocześnie stara się ono obniżyć status klasy właścicieli. Feudalizm państwowy miał możliwość rozwinięcia się w tych społeczeństwach, gdzie klasa rządząca, po udanej agresji, była na tyle silna, aby przejąć kontrolę nad gospodarką. Dodatkowo, społeczeństwa te usytuowane były na obrzeżach cywilizacji europejskiej, co umożliwiało im ekspansję.

The thesis deals with the attitude of the French Communist Party (PCF) to the colonial issue in the era of inter-war France. It tries to map the development of this attitude and factors which influenced it. It also aims to make a periodization of the development and determine landmarks which divided its stages. The French Communist Party was the only political party in inter-war France which contested the right of the powers to own colonies and it called for their immediate independence. The thesis analyses whether this opinion stemmed from the inner conviction, whether the Party really advocated it throughout the whole period of interest and whether it actively promoted it in practise or it was rather just a rhetoric.
