Primitive Liberals and Pirate Tribes: Black-Flag Radicalism and the Kibbo Kift

ABSTRACT

The Age of Catastrophe (1914–1945) has long been considered a crisis of liberalism. As a political platform and moralistic worldview, the hollowness of liberalism’s promise was exposed when total war struck at the heart of Europe, undermining its presumption of imperial hegemony over much of the world. What emerged in its wake, amid the swells of irremediable nationalisms, is the subject of this article. Blinded by the fog of war and bright lights of modernity, historians often fail to catch the glimpses of alternative aspirations, which escaped the age’s ruptures so as to reinvent and redeem humanity from the depths of its bloody past. Against a backdrop of neglected case studies from Britain and elsewhere – from the Luddites to the Kindred of the Kibbo Kift – this article seeks to show how the spectre of death inspired new ideals of youth and civility that rejected the arrogance of imperial masculinity and industrialised oppression, turning instead to visions of global kinship that were socialist and anarchic, romantic and utopian, primitive and piratical.     

早期白瓷使用情况分析

白瓷在发展的初期,经过了一个“早期白瓷”的发展阶段,早期白瓷涉及的时代的范围主要是北朝、隋、唐、五代时期.本文主要讨论的时间范围在隋唐五代时期.对于瓷器使用的研究,不仅可以从文献记载、古代交通上来展开,而且在瓷器自身的款识上亦可窥豹之一斑.从出土白瓷的考古遗址资料和款识的内容可以看到唐代白瓷器已在社会各阶层广泛流行.     

Conservatives,Liberals, and the Free Exercise Clause

Mark Lilla's summons to recover Hobbes's "art of intellectual separation" is stillborn. Lilla acknowledges the tendentiousness and theoretical inadequacy of Hobbes's approach, yet he falls back on that very strategy, refusing the real task of reconciling political and religious goods.     

巩县窑早期白瓷综述

美国南部白人社会对战后初期民权问题挑战的回应及其影响

二战结束后,美国南部社会在民权问题上面临空前的挑战。面对这种情况,南部白人利用一切社会力量和政治力量来阻止种族关系的变革。由于历史条件的变化,南部白人无论是采取种族暴力,还是政党分离运动都没有达到预期的效果,反而迫使联邦政府改变了自重建结束以来不干预南部种族事务的传统,转而支持黑人民权的发展。面对最高法院在民权问题上有利于黑人诉求的判决,南部白人社会被迫推动“学校教育平等化”运动。这反过来刺激了黑人以及民权组织进行推翻“隔离但平等”原则判决的斗争。南部白人社会对战后民权问题挑战的回应不仅影响到了民权运动的起源,而且也影响到了民权运动的发展。
