Reactionary Nationalists, Fascists and Dictatorships in the Twentieth Century
This book provides a comparative study of fascisms and reactionary nationalisms. It presents these as transnational political cultures and examines the dictatorships and regimes in which these cultures played significant roles. The book is organised into three main sections, focusing on nationalists, fascists and dictatorships in turn. The chapters range across French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and German experiences, and include a broader overview of the political cultures in Central and Eastern Europe as well as Latin America. The chapters consider the identities, organizations and evolution of the various cultures and specific political movements, alongside the intersections between these movements and how they adapted to changing contexts. By doing so, the book offers a global view of fascisms and reactionary nationalisms, and promotes debate around these political cultures.
The "New Man" in Radical Right Ideology and Practice, 1919-45
Bringing together an expert group of established and emerging scholars, this book analyses the pervasive myth of the 'new man' in various fascist movements and far-right regimes between 1919 and 1945. Through a series of ground-breaking case studies focusing on countries in Europe, but with additional chapters on Argentina, Brazil and Japan, The "New Man" in Radical Right Ideology and Practice, 1919-45 argues that what many national forms of far-right politics understood at the time as a so-called 'anthropological revolution' is essential to understanding this ideology's bio-political, often revolutionary dynamics. It explores how these movements promoted the creation of a new, ideal human, ...
Transnational and Transatlantic Fascism, 1918–2018
This volume charts the history of transnational and transatlantic fascism in East Central and Southeastern Europe, a lesser-known phenomenon that occurred throughout the twentieth century into the present. Organizations and individuals in this part of the continent, under the influences of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, conceptualized their own forms of fascism in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. Due to the heterogenous nature of East Central Europe, fascism took various forms in the territories that prior to 1918 had belonged to the Habsburg, German, Russian, and Ottoman Empires. As a result, East Central Europe became a mosaic of fascist parties, organizations, and movements. During World War...
Speaking East
A vibrant account of both the sensuous cultural scene of postwar Paris and the life of an alluring icon of modern art. Isidore Isou was a young Jew in wartime Bucharest who barely survived the Romanian Holocaust. He made his way to Paris, where, in 1945, he founded the avant-garde movement Lettrism, described as the missing link between Dada, Surrealism, Situationism, and May ’68. In Speaking East, Andrew Hussey presents a colorful picture of the postwar Left Bank, where Lettrist fists flew in avantgarde punch-ups in Jazz clubs and cafés, and where Isou—as sexy and as charismatic as the young Elvis—gathered around him a group of hooligan disciples who argued, drank, and had sex with the Parisian intellectual élite. This is a vibrant account of the life and times of a pivotal figure in the history of modern art.
L'écriture emprisonnée
L'année 2006 a été celle du 50ème anniversaire de la révolution hongroise (1956). Pour rendre hommage à la mémoire de cet événement, Le Centre Interuniversitaire d'Etudes Hongroises, en collaboration avec le Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches Comparatistes a organisé un colloque sur le thème de l'écriture emprisonnée. Le colloque a proposé un horizon plus large et plus complexe que celui d'un événement précis de l'histoire d'un pays, en envisageant les différentes formes et manifestations d'une "écriture emprisonnée", interdite ou contrainte, dans des temps, des cultures et des circonstances diverses.
Langues et identités finlandaises
La Finlande fait partie de la Communauté européenne depuis plus de dix ans, mais elle reste toujours assez inconnue à la grande majorité des Français. Ni la langue finnoise, ni la situation linguistique de la Finlande ne sont guère traitées dans les journaux et magazines français à grand public. L'identité finlandaise se fonde sur le bilinguisme finno-suédois, qui repose sur des liens historiques. Les trois autres langues qui ont un statut officiel sont le same, le rromani et la langue des signes. Les treize articles de ce volume montrent que l'identité finlandaise se compose de multiples identités.
