The darker side of the Renaissance: literacy, terrotoriality, and colonization

Abstract: Winner of the Modern Language Association's Katherine Singer Kovacs Prize."The Darker Side of the Renaissance "weaves together literature, semiotics, history, historiography, cartography, geography, and cultural theory to examine the role of language in the colonization of the New World.Walter D. Mignolo locates the privileging of European forms of literacy at the heart of New World colonization. He examines how alphabetic writing is linked with the exercise of power, what role "the book" has played in colonial relations, and the many connections between writing, social organization, and political control. It has long been acknowledged that Amerindians were at a disadvantage in facing European invaders because native cultures did not employ the same kind of texts (hence "knowledge") that were validated by the Europeans. Yet no study until this one has so thoroughly analyzed either the process or the implications of conquest and destruction through sign systems.Starting with the contrasts between Amerindian and European writing systems, Mignolo moves through such topics as the development of Spanish grammar, the different understandings of the book as object and text, principles of genre in history-writing, and an analysis of linguistic descriptions and mapping techniques in relation to the construction of territoriality and understandings of cultural space."The Darker Side of the Renaissance" will significantly challenge commonplace understandings of New World history. More importantly, it will continue to stimulate and provide models for new colonial and post-colonial scholarship.." . . a contribution to Renaissance studies of the first order. The field will have to reckon with it for years to come, for it will unquestionably become the point of departure for discussion not only on the foundations and achievements of the Renaissance but also on the effects and influences on colonized cultures." -- "Journal of Hispanic/ Latino Theology"Walter D. Mignolo is Professor in the Department of Romance Studies and the Program in Literature, Duke University.

TL;DR: The seeker after the truth is not one who studies the writings of the ancients and, following his natural disposition, puts his trust in them, but rather, one who suspects his faith in them and questions what he gathers from them, the one who submits to argument and demonstration, and not to the sayings of a human being whose nature is fraught with all kinds of imperfection and deformation as mentioned in this paper.

Knowledge, power and politics in the study of political terrorism

TL;DR: The field of terrorism studies was once a relatively minor specialist subfield of security studies and international relations as mentioned in this paper, and it exhibits all the characteristics of a major stand-alone academic field, having its own: dedicated scholarly journals(Terrorism and Political Violence, Studies in Conflict and Terrorism and more recently, Critical Studies on Terrorism); graduate and post-graduate teaching and research programs at most major universities in America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific; a growing number of dedicated research centres and think tanks; a group of widely recognised scholars and experts; regular academic conferences; and an

A Genealogy of Peacemaking: The Creation and Re-Creation of Order

TL;DR: The authors reviewed the development of theorizing about approaches to end conflict through a radical lens in which all approaches to ending conflict might be seen as impositional at various levels, and then reverting to a critical approach in which might be found a universal basis for agreement about how such order-producing activities can achieve sensitive and mutually inclusive outcomes.
