Abstract In this essay I argue for opening up South Asian historiography on the home to explore not just ideals of middle-class domesticity, but also the material goods and spaces of home lives. This helps to rethink class, as ideals of middle-class respectability were often worked out in buildings and through goods shared with lower classes, deploying caste hierarchies to articulate definitions of proper home life. At the same time, taking materials and spaces seriously allows attention to the role of men in shaping and experiencing homes, whether as designers, retailers, planners, or residents themselves. Drawing on the specific example of the iconic firm Kamdar Ltd., which created modern home interiors in mid-century Bombay, I argue that thinking through the materials of home allows attention to the global engagements of home life defined in class and caste terms, by men and women alike.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to restore the history of internationalism to our understanding of the legacy of the First World War, and the role of universities in that past. It begins by emphasising the war’s twin legacy, namely, the twin principles of the peace: national self-determination and the League of Nations. Design/methodology/approach It focuses on the intersecting significance and meaning attributed to the related terms patriotism and humanity, nationalism and internationalism, during the war and after. A key focus is the memorialization of Edith Cavell, and the role of men and women in supporting a League of Nations. Findings The author finds that contrary to conventional historical opinion, internationalism was as significant as nationalism during the war and after, thanks to the influence and ideas of men and women connected through university networks. Research limitations/implications The author’s argument is based on an examination of British imperial sources in particular. Originality/value The implications of this argument are that historians need to recover the international past in histories of nationalism.

Role Of Men

Today, Narco-Culture has transformed many aspects in some society. One of the aspects still to be explored is linked to studies of gender stereotypes, because very little research has been done on this subject. For this reason, the main objective of this article is to explore how drug trafficking has distorted gender stereotypes, linking this viewpoint as an aggravating factor in situations of conflict and violence in society, taking Colombian society as a reference and yet it could be applied to other countries and contexts. Thus, the premise of the article is that the Narco-Culture has changed the role of men and women in society. The most significant findings show that the gender perspective provides a holistic view of the phenomenon of violence in society and can therefore help authorities to design effective public policies that break its cycle, Understanding also that society and culture have a great direct and indirect responsibility in the perpetuation of drug trafficking and all manifestations of violence.

This introductory chapter briefly explores the extent of Vietnam War scholarship from a South Vietnamese perspective. The vast majority of academic works devoted to the Vietnam War have been centered on American decisions and experiences. A series of recent studies has begun reversing this trend, but they have been limited to certain periods or particular state projects. Few works address how local actors interpreted and shaped events, either in tandem or at cross-purposes with the Americans. And fewer still have explored the role of civil society and the population at large in South Vietnam. Nonetheless, the chapter reveals that there was much more to the Republic of Vietnam (RVN) than its involvement in a war. Central to its story were the collective efforts of many men and women dedicated to nation building. As such, the chapter also explores the challenges of nation building in the RVN.

Tenter de cerner la question de la «citoyenneté et des valeurs » avec quelque complexité et profondeur dépasse le face-à-face entre l’Europe et l’Afrique. D’une part, dans une série de conférences à l’aube du 21e siècle, l’Unesco s’est demandé « Où vont les valeurs ? » D’autre part, « les liens préférentiels » entre l’Europe et l’Afrique sont désormais sous la juridiction de l’Organisation mondiale du Commerce. De ce point de vue, interroger le statut politique et civique des hommes et des femmes dans le cadre institutionnel et partenarial de l’Eurafrique, c’est en creux se demander quel sort est réservé, par l’économie-monde actuelle, au fait d’être citoyen. Étant donné le déséquilibre qui caractérise l’Eurafrique, ce n’est qu’avec l’engagement actif des citoyens qui votent et participent à une société civile critique qu’un nouveau partenariat favorable aux Africains pourrait s’actualiser. Attempting to plumb the complexity and depth of the issue of citizenship and values goes well beyond the interface between Europe and Africa. On one hand, in a series of communications at the beginning of the 21st century, UNESCO asked itself, “Where are the values?” On the other hand, the “preferential links” between Europe and Africa are henceforth under the jurisdiction of the World Trade Organization. From this point of view, questioning the political and civic status of men and women in the institutional framework and partnership of Eurafrica, means to ask oneself what destiny is reserved, by the current world economy, to the fact of being citizen. Given the disequilibrium that characterizes Eurafrica, it is only with the active engagement of citizens who vote and participate in a critical civil society that a new partnership favorable to Africans could be actualized.
