The Tijaniyya is the largest Sufi order in West and North Africa. In this unprecedented analysis of the Tijaniyya's origins and development in the late eighteenth century, Zachary Valentine Wright ...situates the order within the broader intellectual history of Islam in the early modern period. Introducing the group's founder, Ahmad al-Tijani (1737–1815), Wright focuses on the wider network in which al-Tijani traveled, revealing it as a veritable global Islamic revival whose scholars commanded large followings, shared key ideas, and produced literature read widely throughout the Muslim world. They were linked through chains of knowledge transmission from which emerged vibrant discourses of renewal in the face of perceived social and political corruption.
Writing 'global' intellectual histories involves historicising the transnational lives of key concepts. In this article, we argue that interdependence became a key concept in global inequality ...debates of the 1970-1980s. While ideas about interstate dependency have a long history, interdependence saw a remarkable breakthrough from the late 1960s onwards, partly in tandem with a liberal global egalitarianism, calling for the moral duties of 'rich nations' to alleviate poverty in 'poor nations.' Interdependence took centre stage in writings on international affairs and inequality within and between nations in the 1960s-1980s, both in the US and in Ghana. We first examine the work of American foreign policy intellectual Robert Tucker, and the conservative backlash against liberal global egalitarianism in late 1970s US. We then investigate writings on African regionalism by Ghanaian political economist S.K.B. Asante in the 1980s. A critique of interdependence shaped debates on global inequality, distribution, and justice amongst both American and African intellectuals. Coming from different perspectives and places, both Asante and Tucker were critical of the descriptive value of the concept of 'an interdependent world.' Interdependence was an ambiguous notion, which could be used to 'cover-up' persisting power structures in a world of very unequal nations.

Intellectual history has never been more relevant and more important to public life in the United States. In complicated and confounding times, people look for the principles that drive action and ...the foundations that support national ideals. American Labyrinth demonstrates the power of intellectual history to illuminate our public life and examine our ideological assumptions. This volume of essays brings together 19 influential intellectual historians to contribute original thoughts on topics of widespread interest. Raymond Haberski Jr. and Andrew Hartman asked a group of nimble, sharp scholars to respond to a simple question: How might the resources of intellectual history help shed light on contemporary issues with historical resonance? The answers—all rigorous, original, and challenging—are as eclectic in approach and temperament as the authors are different in their interests and methods. Taken together, the essays of American Labyrinth illustrate how intellectual historians, operating in many different registers at once and ranging from the theoretical to the political, can provide telling insights for understanding a public sphere fraught with conflict. In order to understand why people are ready to fight over cultural symbols and political positions we must have insight into how ideas organize, enliven, and define our lives. Ultimately, as Haberski and Hartman show in this volume, the best route through our contemporary American labyrinth is the path that traces our practical and lived ideas.
Is time out of joint? For the past two centuries, the dominant Western time regime has been future-oriented and based on the linear, progressive and homogeneous concept of time. Over the last few ...decades, there has been a shift towards a new, present-oriented regime or ‘presentism’, made up of multiple and percolating temporalities. Rethinking Historical Time engages with this change of paradigm, providing a timely overview of cutting-edge interdisciplinary approaches to this new temporal condition. Marek Tamm and Laurent Olivier have brought together an international team of scholars working in history, anthropology, archaeology, geography, philosophy, literature and visual studies to rethink the epistemological consequences of presentism for the study of past and to discuss critically the traditional assumptions that underpin research on historical time. Beginning with an analysis of presentism, the contributors move on to explore in historical and critical terms the idea of multiple temporalities, before presenting a series of case studies on the variability of different forms of time in contemporary material culture.

Este artigo se concentra na análise das matrizes do pensamento político do intelectual português António Sardinha, particularizando sua fase republicana, período anterior à sua adesão ao movimento do ...Integralismo Lusitano. Objetiva-se analisar a identificação do autor com o republicanismo como parte de uma atitude de “rebelião cultural” que caracterizou uma geração de intelectuais de direita portuguesa. A pesquisa priorizou a correspondência de António Sardinha para sua noiva Ana Júlia Nunes da Silva, nos anos entre 1910 e 1912.
Neste artigo, propõe-se investigar a inserção da revista dos Annales, em suas décadas iniciais, na área nascente da história econômica e social, sublinhando-se as especificidades da intervenção do ...periódico nesse domínio disciplinar em vias de consolidação. Argumenta-se que, apesar de as ideias que veiculam não serem, em 1929, inéditas, Marc Bloch e Lucien Febvre logram, nas páginas da revista, produzir um modo de enunciação distinto de sua especialidade disciplinar, que se demonstraria mais eficaz do que os projetos concorrentes propostos por nomes destacados como Henri Sée e Henri Hauser. Para isso, procede-se tanto à exposição dessas propostas concorrentes quanto à análise verticalizada dos usos feitos, na seção crítica dos Annales d’Histoire Économique et Sociale, do rótulo “histórica econômica e social”. Busca-se, assim, investigar as especificidades desses usos, articulando-as às condições objetivas de sua formulação e avaliando seus efeitos na disputa dessa especialidade por protagonismo no seio da disciplina histórica.

Este artigo analisa como a socióloga aimará Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui identifica nas imagens presentes na obra Primer nueva corónica y buen gobierno,de 1615, do cronista Felipe Guamán Poma de Ayala, a ...construção de uma episteme visual para a América Andina. A socióloga boliviana ressignifica as imagens presentes nesse livro, evidenciando seu potencial teórico para a elaboração de conceitos e chaves de leitura que podem ser utilizados para a compreensão da história andina colonial e contemporânea. Em termos teóricos e metodológicos, são importantes para este artigo as reflexões críticas propostas por autores identificados às perspectivas pós-coloniais e decoloniais, além de estudos que se voltam para epistemologias não canônicas, compreendendo-as como saberes fundamentais para um posicionamento crítico e descolonizador, como os trabalhos de Linda Smith e Boaventura de Sousa Santos. Por fim, essa reflexão demonstra a posição de Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui em torno de uma proposta de descolonização epistêmica, ao transformar Guamán Poma de Ayala em sujeito do conhecimento e ao demonstrar que a experiência da visualidade é também importante na formulação epistemológica da história.
The Tijaniyya is the largest Sufi order in West and North Africa. In this unprecedented analysis of the Tijaniyya's origins and development in the late eighteenth century, Zachary Valentine Wright ...situates the order within the broader intellectual history of Islam in the early modern period. Introducing the group's founder, Ahmad al-Tijani (1737 - 1815), Wright focuses on the wider network in which al-Tijani traveled, revealing it as a veritable global Islamic revival whose scholars commanded large followings, shared key ideas, and produced literature read widely throughout the Muslim world. They were linked through chains of knowledge transmission from which emerged vibrant discourses of renewal in the face of perceived social and political corruption. Wright argues that this constellation of remarkable Muslim intellectuals, despite the uncertainly of the age, promoted personal verification in religious learning. With distinctive concern for the notions of human actualization and a universal human condition, the Tijaniyya emphasized the importance of the realization of Muslim identity. Since its beginnings in North Africa in the eighteenth century, the Tijaniyya has quietly expanded its influence beyond Africa, with significant populations in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and North America.
No interior da formatação da experiência moderna criou-se uma violenta ideologia civilizatória eurocêntrica com propósitos universalizantes, ainda que, segundo Elias Palti e Julio Ramos, ela seja ...resultado da interação e circulação de ideias entre diversas culturas. Das muitas categorias e conceitos importantes nestes processos, o progresso se tornou uma das mais centrais. Abordaremos algumas possibilidades desta categoria através da obra de Koselleck e, em seguida, como ela foi mobilizada por Paulo Prado no início do século XX. Nossa hipótese é a de que Prado entende que a realização de progressos depende de articulações adequadas com o passado colonial brasileiro.
