Paperback. Condition: New. 2019 witnessed the 30th anniversary of the German reunification. But the remembrance of the fall of the Berlin Wall coincided with another event of global importance that caught much less attention: the 250th anniversary of Napoleon Bonaparte's birth. There is an undeniable historical and philosophical dimension to this coincidence. Napoleon's appearance on the scene of world history seems to embody European universalism (soon thereafter in the form of a 'modern' imperial project); whilst scholars such as Francis Fukuyama saw in the events of 1989 its historical fulfilment. Today, we see more clearly that the fall of the Berlin Wall stands for an epistemic earthquake, which generated a world that can no longer be grasped through universal concepts. Here, we deal with the idea of Europe and of its relation to the world itself. Picking up on this contingency of world history with an ironic wink, the volume analyses in retrospect the epoch of European universalism. It focusses on its dialectics, polemically addressing and remembering both 1769 and 1989. L'année 2019 a été marquée par le 30e anniversaire de la réunification de l'Allemagne, éclipsant un autre événement d'envergure mondiale : le 250e anniversaire de Napoléon Bonaparte. La dimension philosophico-historique de cette coïncidence ne peut pourtant pas être négligée : si l'arrivée de Bonaparte sur la scène de l'histoire mondiale semble incarner l'avènement de l'universalisme européen (bientôt amené à prendre sa forme « moderne » et impériale), certains penseurs ont suggéré, avec Francis Fukuyama, que « 1989 » marquait son accomplissement historique. Aujourd'hui, il apparaît au contraire que la chute du mur de Berlin a été un véritable tremblement de terre épistémique, et rendu inopérants les concepts universels. Dans le monde d'après, c'est à l'idée d'Europe et à sa relation au monde que nous avons affaire. Revenant par un geste ironique sur cette contingence historique, le présent volume se veut une analyse rétrospective de l'époque de l'universalisme, dans toute la dialectique que les commémorations de 1769/1989 ont fait surgir.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Abnutzungen. Markus Messling präsentiert die frankophone Literatur unserer Tage als radikale Hinterfragung jener Ideale, die mit der Französischen Revolution in Paris einst ihre Hauptstadt fanden und heute in einer tiefen Krise stecken: Konzepte wie Universalismus, Gleichheit und Weltgesellschaft sind durch ihre koloniale Durchsetzungsgeschichte stark diskreditiert. Heute werden sie zudem verstärkt wieder durch nationalistische Kräfte angefeindet. Was bleibt von den Idealen? Wie sich nach dem europäischen Universalismus Ansätze einer neuen Universalität finden lassen, ohne die Erkenntnis und Gerechtigkeit in der Weltgesellschaft nicht organisiert werden können, erzählen frankophone Literaturen der Gegenwart.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Opening up the cosmos of an entire continent - New perspectives on Africa This lavishly illustrated volume approaches the vast continent of Africa from a variety of viewpoints; beyond prejudice and stereotypes, via cultural history and contemporary art: by means of permanent changes of perspective and a diversity of artistic voices. The history of humankind meets the colonial past and the omnipresence of aspects of Africa in many regions of the world. On the one hand, surprising views of Africa are focused on from Europe. And on the other, works and installations by Africans or protagonists from the diaspora present ideas, impulses and identities which all signify Africa. The texts illustrate the broad time frame from the first humans to Pan-Africanism and Afro-Futurism, as well as present literary and philosophical narratives.
