Abstract:
Difference is among the twentieth century’s most volatile legacies to the twenty-first. Over this period it has increasingly lodged itself in our cultural consciousness, as both theoretical concept and lived experience. Its workings are refracted through culture (through phenomena such as music) and the way we contemplate and study it (through a journal such as this). A Brief History of Difference, at least the chapter relevant to the present story, might start in the early part of the last century with Ferdinand de Saussure’s courses on linguistics. Not only language, but potentially all signifying phenomena, Saussure argued, articulate the world for us by cutting it into units (e.g. phonemes, concepts, words, signs) that carry meaning precisely through being differentiated from one another: reality is rendered as a system of mutually conditioning differences. By mid-century these ideas had become decisive for literary and cultural theory under the banner of structuralism and semiotics, in which even a cultural practice such as fashion could be seen to signify as a system of difference. With the rise of poststructuralism and deconstruction, difference (or différance) was again seminal in debates about the very nature of meaning, which in turn informed later twentieth-century cultural politics of class and society, gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity. (As we know, all these movements would also in the end, and no less contentiously, make their mark on musicology.) Most recently – in terms far from academic – cultural difference has moved into the foreground of global consciousness with the literally shattering and explosive events of our new century.

Abstract:
Abstract In this introduction to the Special Issue, we suggest a decolonised and entangled perspective in norms research that transcends the Western legacies of global norms by taking into account the complex constellations and interactions within and between norms. We seek to move beyond the dichotomy of ‘good’ Western versus ‘bad’ non-Western norms without simply reversing it. We instead propose to integrate three dimensions into norms research: 1) revealing the ambivalences and ambiguities inherent to norms; 2) investigating plural actors as vectors of normative change; and 3) broadening the disciplinary realm of norms research. Our aim is to further develop the empirical and conceptual discussion of norms that moves beyond a Western bias without simply giving up on normative assessments of norms.

Hodgins, B. Denise. "Pedagogical Narrations’ Potentiality as a Methodology for Child Studies Research." Journal of Childhood Studies 37, no. 1 (April 30, 2012): 4. http://dx.doi.org/10.18357/jcs.v37i1.15185.
Abstract:
This article offers an extension to the use of pedagogical narrations by con-sidering it as a methodology for post-foundational child studies research. The author contends that pedagogical narrations have evolved into a methodological approach that is able to attend to the complexity and plural-ity of childhood. The article begins with a brief review of the evolution of child studies and some of the legacies of modernism that continue to impact childhood research today. This is fol-lowed by an overview of how the process of pedagogical narrations has served to resist particular modernist assumptions. It concludes with an exploration of how this process holds the potential to blur the boundaries between such dichotomous binaries as child/adult, theory/practice and mat-ter/discourse and open up spaces and dialogue for an ethical approach to childhood research.

Sharma, Mukul. "Caste, Environment Justice, and Intersectionality of Dalit–Black Ecologies." Environment and Society 13, no. 1 (September 1, 2022): 78–97. http://dx.doi.org/10.3167/ares.2022.130106.
Abstract:
Caste and race, Dalits and Black people, and the common ground between them have been analyzed in many areas, but their conjunction in the environmental field has been neglected. This article locates Dalit ecologies by examining the close connection between caste and nature. Drawing from a plural framework of environmental justice and histories of environmental struggles among African Americans, it focuses on historical and contemporary ecological struggles of Dalits. It contemplates how their initial articulations under the rubric of civil rights developed into significant struggles over issues of Dalit access, ownership, rights, and partnership regarding natural resources, where themes of environmental and social justice appeared at the forefront. The intersections between Dalit and Black ecologies, the rich legacies of Black Panthers and Dalit Panthers, and their overlaps in environmental struggles open for us a new historical archive, where Dalit and Black power can talk to each other in the environmental present.

Abstract:
Singapore’s future Minister for Foreign Affairs, Sinnathamby Rajaratnam, wrote a significant and neglected body of short stories while studying Law in London in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Under the influence of his London contemporaries such as Mulk Raj Anand, Rajaratnam’s stories do imaginative work that prepares the ground for decolonization. In engaging with Malayan nationalism, they inevitably encounter the problematics of imagining a nation from the complex legacies of a colonial plural society. Thus, while the stories construct a gendered social imaginary, in which a feminized tradition is relegated to the private sphere of culture, they are troubled by the category of “race” and through a series of elisions fail to imagine a multiracial polity. The uneasiness provoked in a contemporary reader by the stories, however, is useful in challenging hegemonic categorizations of race in contemporary Singapore, particularly in the tightened “racial governmentality” of the nation-state from the 1980s onwards.

Peša, Iva. "Anthropocene Narratives of Living with Resource Extraction in Africa." Radical History Review 2023, no. 145 (January 1, 2023): 125–38. http://dx.doi.org/10.1215/01636545-10063818.
Abstract:
Abstract African experiences have so far not been central to Anthropocene debates. While the Anthropocene usefully theorizes the planetary dimensions of environmental change, how do its propositions hold when applied to specific and widely divergent settings? Drawing from three examples—copper mining in Zambia, gold mining in South Africa, and oil drilling in Nigeria—this article examines varied experiences of environmental change in the Anthropocene. Resource extraction, which moves tons of earth and heavily pollutes the air and soils, epitomizes the Anthropocene. In order to grasp ways of living with extraction and its toxic legacies in African localities, it is necessary to consider situated histories of capitalism and colonialism and how these have generated intersectional positionalities, in terms of gender, socioeconomic status, and race. These histories inform actors’ abilities to envisage alternatives to the Anthropocene in the present and future. Inspired by decolonial frameworks, this article begins to chart more plural ways to write the Anthropocene.

Lewis, Su Lin. "Rotary International's ‘acid test’: multi-ethnic associational life in 1930s Southeast Asia." Journal of Global History 7, no. 2 (July 2012): 302–24. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s1740022812000083.
Abstract:
AbstractThe social history of colonial Southeast Asia has often been narrated through the lens of ‘plural societies’, where various ethnic groups rarely mixed. This article challenges that narrative by pointing to traditions of multi-ethnic interaction, particularly in port cities, dating back to an early modern age of commerce. Although colonialism introduced new racial hierarchies that reinforced stark ethnic divides, it also created arenas where these could be transgressed. In the interwar era, international organizations, such as Rotary clubs, provided a way of breaking the colour bar of colonial society and a venue for multi-ethnic representation in a shared associational space. They converged with existing notions of civic duty, while promoting a public intellectual culture in cities for both men and women, as well as a new sense of regionalism. In ethnically divided Malaya, Asian Rotarians questioned the importance of race and debated the possibilities of a multi-ethnic future for the nation. While such cosmopolitan ideals were more vulnerable in the post-colonial era of nation-states, the organizations of the interwar era left important legacies for civil society in the region.

Vieira, Marili Moreira da Silva, and Susana Mesquita Barbosa. "School Culture and Innovation: Does the Post-Pandemic World COVID-19 Invite to Transition or to Rupture?" European Journal of Social Science Education and Research 7, no. 2 (August 15, 2020): 23. http://dx.doi.org/10.26417/922sju94c.
Abstract:
This article discusses the relations between school culture and the innovation processes necessary for schools, inserted in a complex, globalized, plural and technological society, to continue to meet the needs of their students. It seeks to highlight the educational legacies of the twentieth century (SAVIANI, 2017), the paradigmatic transitions in education (PACHECO, 2019; VALDEMARIN, 2017) and the school rituals that constitute the culture, essential to explain the purposes of the school (not the teaching objectives, but the reason for the existence of the school), and consequently, the definition of the curriculum and the strengthening of teacher´s identity (SOUZA, 2017). From the explanation of the school's purpose, we begin to discuss the relationship that it should establish with digital culture and with innovational processes. Crises drive innovation because they create different needs for people (PACHECO, 2019; BENITO, 2017). The moment that is being lived, generating new needs, will drive innovations in educational and schools. It is important to have clarity of the school purpose of education, so that the ruptures and innovations are ethical and might meet the welfare of the students (CORNISH, 2019) and the teachers, as well as the educational needs of an ethical citizen, globally and locally.

Bolaji, M. H. A. "Secularism and State Neutrality: The 2015 Muslim Protest of Discrimination in the Public Schools in Ghana." Journal of Religion in Africa 48, no. 1-2 (December 7, 2018): 65–104. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/15700666-12340123.
Abstract:
AbstractPluralism is a discernible feature of many modern states. However, among the variants of pluralism, religious pluralism appears to be the most intractable in many modern states because faiths and values underpin the conflicts that are associated with it. As one of the legacies of the Enlightenment, secularism is a normative prescription for managing religious pluralism. Nevertheless, while many African states profess to be secular, more often than not there are no concrete strategies to objectify the secular arrangement thereby provoking questions on the status quo. Such was the case with the 2015 Muslims’ protest of discrimination in the public basic and second cycles schools in Ghana. Through primary (interviews and archival and historical documents) and secondary data, this paper examines the protest in light of the secularist arrangement. It first reviews the contours of the secularist’s lenses. Second, it historicizes Muslim-Christian relations in Ghana. It also analyzes the checkered partnership between the state and the Christian missions in the provision of education. Moreover, it evaluates the debates that ensued and the ambivalent communiqué that the National Peace Council (NPC) issued. The paper concludes with a note that underscores the dynamics and tensions that characterize many plural societies in their attempt to objectify the secularist principle.

Gauthier, Eglantine. "De cadencer à danser "jupes en l'air" : anthropologie des appropriations mémorielles et spectaculaires du séga mauricien." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris, EHESS, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023EHES0162.
Abstract:
L’objectif de cette thèse est de partir de l’observation de la danse séga pour étudier les enjeux des appropriations mémorielles et artistiques du passé colonial dans la société post-esclavagiste mauricienne. L’entrée par la danse a alors été heuristique pour appréhender la culture populaire du séga comme un processus. À différents moments de son histoire la requalification du séga a permis d’inscrire cet objet dans une culture tantôt envisagée comme noire, africaine, créole, multiculturelle, de lui attribuer des racines, et d’orienter les débats sur les circulations et branchements qui entourent cet objet, ou encore de légitimer certains emprunts tout en accusant les appropriations culturelles. Absent du marché global de la musique ou de celui des loisirs, c’est sous la forme du spectacle chorégraphique que le séga circule comme étendard national, principalement sur les marchés touristiques. La récente inscription du séga traditionnel sur la liste représentative du PCI à l’UNESCO vient s’inscrire dans ces formes hégémoniques de spectacularisation et de commercialisation. Le caractère innovant de ce travail de recherche a été d’examiner la place des danseurs – et surtout des danseuses –, qui cristallise la réputation ambivalente du séga, à la fois dénigré et admiré, et de montrer les enjeux de requalification qui se concentrent autour de la spectacularisation de cette culture populaire, révélant différents rapports de pouvoirThe objective of this thesis is to start from the observation of the sega dance to study the stakes of the memory and artistic appropriations of the colonial past in the Mauritian post-slavery society. The entry through dance was then heuristic to apprehend the popular culture of sega as a process. At different times in its history the requalification of the sega allowed to register this object in a culture sometimes considered as black, African, creole, multicultural, to attribute to it roots, and to direct the debates on the circulations and connections that surround this object, or to legitimize certain borrowings while accusing cultural appropriations. Absent from the global music or leisure market, it is in the form of the choreographic show that the sega circulates as a national standard, mainly on the tourist markets. The recent inscription of the traditional sega on the representative list of the ICH at UNESCO is part of these hegemonic forms of spectacularization and commercialization. The innovative nature of this research work was to examine the place of dancers – and especially women – which crystallizes the ambivalent reputation of sega, both denigrated and admired, and to show the challenges of requalification that focus on the spectacularization of this popular culture, revealing different power relations

Mosher, Michael, and Anna Plassart, eds. A Cultural History of Democracy in the Age of Enlightenment. Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781350042841.
Abstract:
This volume surveys the burst of political imagination that created multiple Enlightenment cultures in an era widely understood as an age of democratic revolutions. Enlightenment as precursor to liberal democratic modernity was once secular catechism for generations of readers. Yet democracy did not elicit much enthusiasm among contemporaries, while democracy as a political system remained virtually nonexistent through much of the period. If seventeenthand eighteenth-century ideas did underwrite the democracies of succeeding centuries, they were often inheritances from monarchical governments that had encouraged plural structures of power competition. But in revolutions across France, Britain, and North America, the republican integration of constitutional principle and popular will established rational hope for public happiness. Nevertheless, the tragic clashes of principle and will in fraught revolutionary projects were also democratic legacies. Each chapter focuses on a distinct theme: sovereignty; liberty and the rule of law; the “common good”; economic and social democracy; religion and the principles of political obligation; citizenship and gender; ethnicity, race, and nationalism; democratic crises, revolutions, and civil resistance; international relations; and the transformations of sovereignty—a synoptic survey of the cultural entanglements of “enlightenment” and “democracy.”

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter examines memory and its transmutations over the course of the several generations that experienced England’s plural and contested Reformations. It investigates shifting commemorative practices, including the creation of memorials and monuments to past generations and the spiritual legacies that the dying left to the living. It examines the impulses that led men and women to record the dramatic religious changes they had witnessed and in which they had participated, and the textual and material forms in which they transmitted these recollections to posterity as heirlooms. It explores what people strategically forgot as well as what they selectively remembered; how they retrospectively edited their own life stories as their religious and cultural preoccupations changed over time; and the manner in which events passed out of living memory and entered into the realm of inherited legend. The chapter also evaluates the role of generational transmission in creating the very archives, libraries, and museums through which our own knowledge of the Reformation past is filtered, and the interpretative paradigms that shape how we analyse this period.

Abstract:
The Conclusion revisits the questions that lie at the heart of studies of the Roman provinces and that have driven this study. What is the best way to tell the story of a landscape, and its peoples, that have been the subject of successive conquests throughout history and when the few written sources have been composed by outsiders? What approach should be taken to draw out information from a landscape’s material culture to bring the voices and experiences of those who inhabited its space to the fore? Is it ever possible to ensure that certain evidence types and perspectives are not privileged over others to draw balanced conclusions? The main findings of this work are that the Cypriots were not passive participants in the Roman Empire. They were in fact active and dynamic in negotiating their individual and collective identities. The legacies of deep-rooted connections between mainland Greece, Egypt, Asia Minor, and the Near East were maintained into the Roman period and acknowledged by both locals and outsiders. More importantly, the identity of the island was fluid and situational, its people able to distinguish themselves but also demonstrate that the island was part of multiple cultural networks. Cyprus was not a mere imitator of the influences that passed through it, but distinct. The existence of plural and flexible identities is reflective of its status as an island poised between multiple landscapes

Impey, Angela. "Performing Transitional Justice." In Transforming Ethnomusicology Volume I, 169–86. Oxford University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780197517604.003.0011.
Abstract:
This chapter invites critical scrutiny of the role of performance ethnography in development praxis, focusing specifically on the place of ethnomusicology in current discourses about alternative frameworks for transitional justice in post-conflict and fragile states. The paper responds to the increasing appeal in transitional justice literature for legal pluralism and reflects on the challenges and opportunities that traditional justice strategies pose for many of the fundamental assumptions that currently underlie post-conflict rule-of-law work. Taking direction from Brown et al. (2011) and Mignolo (2013), who call for imaginative “delinking” from current epistemic hegemonies in seeking solutions to pressing societal problems, the chapter argues for greater consideration of culture in responding to the multidimensional legacies of protracted conflict (Rush & Simić 2014). Drawing on research on Dinka ox-songs in South Sudan—a country that emerged from half a century of civil war with Sudan, but remains profoundly destabilized by internecine violence—the paper argues that in their capacity as public hearings, ox-songs offer locally embedded judicial instruments or “justice rituals” (Rossner 2013) of narration, listening, and understanding, opening discursive spaces for the expression of multiple public positions and forms of agency. While songs recount individual, clan, or community memories within the context of culturally legitimate expressive spaces, they equally reveal potentially incompatible rejoinders to social justice, forgiveness, and inclusivity, thus supporting new pathways for hybrid or plural frameworks for truth-telling, justice, and reparative outcomes.
