National Salvation

The paper analyzes the setting and mobilization of Vietnamese revolution in the early 20th century to affirm that the deadlock of old-style struggles, the change and innovation of the world’s climate, and the urge of historical requirements brought to Vietnam of the early 20th century the going-abroad movement for national salvation by Leader Nguyen Ai Quoc. These going-abroad patriotic combatants seeking for ways to national salvation in the early 20th century were pioneers who did trigger a new era – the period of Vietnam’s revolutionary integration into the world’s revolution.

The article suggests a typology of Russian theosophical anthropological theories of the early 20th century and offers an analysis of the root causes of disputes between theosophists on anthropological matters. Christian theosophists, who were critical about the Orientalist elements of theosophical doctrines, preferred to draw upon the Christian tradition, while synthesizing it with certain theosophical concepts. Russian theosophists, leaning towards the traditional theosophical doctrine, espoused the idea of universal nature of religious anthropology and often preferred the Oriental approach to anthropology. Nevertheless, they had regard to the Christianity and sought to homologate Oriental anthropology with the Christian one. Millennial expectations were common with the theosophists; they believed that a new era was approaching that would result in a change of the human nature. Many of them reckoned that the human nature could be transformed through spiritual practices. Like many other advocates of Esotericism of those times, theosophists engaged scientific concepts to justify their anthropological views and referred to experimental evidences that would allow revealing the Invisible. For all of their differences, theosophical approaches to anthropology had some shared features and reflected the trends that were common in that age

ANTHROPOLOGICAL IDEAS OF CARL DU PREL AND ITS RECEPTION BY RUSSIAN SPIRITUALISTS IN THE LATE 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURY

The article addresses the core anthropological concepts of Carl Du Prel’s philosophy and explores the significance of those concepts for the Russian spiritualism of the late 19th – early 20th century. The Du Prel’s theory built up upon the concept of Duality of the Human Being. Du Prel insisted on simultaneous co-existence of two subjects – one pertaining to the sensible world and the other related to the extrasensory (‘the transcendental subject’) – that are divided by the ‘perception threshold’. He argued that in dormant and somnambular state the threshold would shift and thus enable the Transcendental Subject to act in the Extrasensory World. Du Prel believed that the human evolution is not over yet. He suggested that one could estimate what the new form of the human life would be judging by the conditions in which the transcendental subject comes out. Like many other spiritualists, Du Prel foretold the upcoming dawn of a new era where the boundary between science and religion on the one part and the Sensible and Extrasensory World on the other part will vanish. Anthropological doctrine of Du Prel correlated well with the views on the future human being held by the Russian spiritualists, and therefore he became one of the most reputable authors for them

Proletarian Revolution

By the early 20th century, Marxism was the dominant ideology of the left, especially in Europe. Marxism spread significantly around the world after the two world wars, but Marx’s prominence went into abrupt decline in 1991, with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Since then, China has been the most significant avowedly Marxist country. ‘Is Marx still relevant?’ considers whether Marx’s views are still relevant when dealing with worldwide inequality, global financial crises, the age of globalization, and climate change. It concludes that Marx’s ideas about the role that economic interests play in our intellectual and political lives will remain relevant, but that his prediction of the inevitability of a proletarian revolution will not.

Este texto examina a relação entre as mudanças históricas na sociedade tradicional do engenho, no nordeste brasileiro, no começo do século XX, e a alteração nas percepções espaciais que se expressam em uma série de metáforas que emergem tanto no discurso memorialístico, como no discurso literário produzido por homens ligados a esta elite em declínio social e econômico. Estes textos falam do encurtamento do mundo, de sufocamentos, de limites cada vez mais rigorosos para a vida dos homens. Parece haver uma relação entre mudanças espaciais e mudanças nos códigos sociais e de gênero, à medida que o mesmo mundo que parece vir se encurtando para os homens, parece vir se alargando para as mulheres. Os homens se sentem cada vez mais presos e falam que as mulheres estão cava vez mais à solta. Os espaços que emergem com a sociedade urbana e industrial, espaços disciplinares, ao mesmo tempo em que aparecem nestes discursos como limitadores da vida dos homens, surgem como espaços de libertação das mulheres e de inversão perigosa das relações tradicionais de gênero. Numa sociedade que estaria se feminilizando, os homens estariam cada vez mais sem espaço. Abstract This paper concerns the historical and social changes the tradicional sugar mil society faced in the northeast of Brazil in the early 20th century, and the changes in the space perceptions expressed through a number of metaphors which occur both in memoirs or literary discourses used by the male group from the decadent elite. Those discourses speak about the curbing of the world to men, the suffocation feeling caused by stricter limits and places arising from an urban industrial society symbolized by the mills. These texts also refer to the shortening of male spaces related to a dangerous widening of female spaces. The same institutional and disciplinary spaces that mean imprisonment for men mean freedom to womem. These male discourses combine what is call ed a feminization society and consequent broadening of female boundaries and the reduction of spaces for the men who then face the limitions in their command and in their world.

Neither inside, nor outside. Between art and non-art. Visual artist, Marcel Duchamp’s readymade art installations of the early 20th century mapped a space of between-ness, of liminality, through previously drawn boundaries in the art world. In this article, we put forth readymade methodology as a liminal approach to (post)qualitative research. Drawing from Duchamp’s readymade art installations, we situate dominant methodological practices as collections of ready-made techniques and technologies for interpreting the world (research as instrumentation); such processes, we argue, are distinct from readymade inquiry (research as immanent and multiplicitous). Readymade methodology disorients knowings and illustrates lines of flight produced from inversions of taken-for-granted technical application of research methods. In this article, we think methodology differently, not limiting ourselves to the constraints/comforts of conventional qualitative methodology. Just as Duchamp interrogated the in-between of art and everyday life, readymade methodology flourishes in/with the potentiality of twisted liminal spaces in (post)qualitative inquiry.

Desperate Attempt

There exists a German-Jewish cultural discourse from the early 20th century that stands in dynamic tension between spiritual and material, sacred and secular, beyond the usual static dichotomies. Several key Jewish thinkers have sought to recover spiritual meaning, in direct interaction with the profane. Under different ways they developed a process of simultaneous secularization and sacralization, in a sort of “dialectic” combination of both. The first common characteristic of these authors is their deep attachment to the German romantic culture, with its ambivalence towards modernity, and its desperate attempt at re-enchanting the world through a return to past spiritual forms. This article will demonstrate these relationships through the work of young Eric Fromm.

AbstractAs the articles in this special issue demonstrate, the emergence of government-voluntary sector compacts around the world is intimately linked to comprehensive transformations the welfare state is undergoing in many countries. The fact that the first compact was developed in England is significant; since the early 20th century, the development of the welfare state in many societies has been significantly influenced by the ideas coming from policymakers, scholars and advocates in the United Kingdom.

De-colonization is an integrated part of modernization of the process of the 20th century in the world. It can be understood as a process which embodies two parallel movements-the colonized people’s struggle for independence and the colonial metropolitan country’s reaction. This paper takes the Zhongshan Park (formal Quanye Expo) in Tianjin’s Chinese settlements as a specific case and investigates the interplay between native culture and colonial culture in the park building process. Through investigating the Chinese Municipal Parks, the paper elucidates the conflicts between colonialism and nationalism contextualized in Sino-West cultural encounters, and reveals the Chinese efforts for cultural de-colonization in early 20th century.
