Morrison, Alexander Stephen (2013)

This paper is a revision and correction of Chapter 3 of my 2008 monograph ('Russian Rule in Samarkand') in which I made a number of errors and misjudgements. The most glaring of these was to confuse a Bukharan tax official ...
Challenges to fieldwork before 1914 and today: Adaptation, Omission, Rediscovery

Forêt, Philippe (Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society, 2014)

John Chappell and, before him, Lord Curzon have reminded us that much can be gained from reviewing earlier writings and from listening to interruptions and silence.1 In January 2010, I discovered with amazement a wealth ...
«De la vertu au vice: l’espace des loisirs à Macao (1910–1930)»

Forêt, Philippe (Chronos Verlag, 2005)

Je propose un jeu sur l'espace des loisirs, sur la célébration et le dénigrement d'une baie et d'une rue, sur le mariage et le divorce d'une ville et de son littoral, et sur les pratiques iconographiques de répétition et ...
The Fatimid Legacy and the Foundation of the Modern Nizari Ismaili Imamate

Globalizing Macau. The Emotional Costs of Modernity (1910-1930)

Forêt, Philippe (Routledge, 2006)

This chapter deals with the ambiguity that political authorities feel toward culture and history when they are pressed to enlarge and modernize urban infrastructures. I will discuss the strategy followed by the Harbour ...
How “Modern” was Russian Imperialism?

Morrison, Alexander Stephen (2012)

In this paper I explore the characteristics which historians normally attribute to 'modern' forms of Imperialism, and whether these make sense when applied to Russia. I conclude by making some tentative suggestions as to ...
Human rights

Duffel, Siegfried (2015)

"As I’m writing this, Christians are brutally murdering Muslims in the Central African Republic; people in Syria are being bombed, starved, and tortured; and homosexuals still face the death penalty in Iran as well ...
Kartographie der Kontinuität: Vom vormodernen Ostasien zum postmodernen Hong Kong

Forêt, Philippe (Rombach, 2007)

Mit meinen folgenden Ausführungen möchte ich zu einem neuen Verständnis der Vormoderne beitragen, einer Epoche, die viel offener für die kulturelle Vielfalt und toleranter gegenüber inkohärenten Entwicklungen ist als auf ...
Le paysage de la décolonisation de la métropole Hong Kong-Macao

Forêt, Philippe (L'Harmattan, 1997)

Les facteurs apolitiques qui dirigent la mondialisation de l'économie sont en train de brutalement détruire l'architecture vernaculaire chinoise ainsi que le riche symbolisme lié à l'aménagement traditionnel du paysage. ...
Les blancs du Tibet : histoire des solutions adoptées pour résoudre le plus magnifique problème de la géographie

Forêt, Philippe (Presses Universitaires de Strasbourg, 2004)

Railroad literature on suitable places : How the Japanese government railways forged an "old China" travel culture

Forêt, Philippe (Chronos Verlag, 2003)

Beben, Daniel (in: Identity, History and Trans-Nationality in Central Asia: The Mountain Communities of Pamir. Routledge, 2018)

One of the most conspicuous aspects of the culture and identity of the Pamiri peoples today is the prevalence of Jsma'TIT ShT'ism within the region. Yet the prominence of Jsma'Tlism in the Pamirs in the present day is ...
The Russian Empire and the Soviet Union: too soon to talk of Echoes?

Morrison, Alexander Stephen (2015)

This paper is a rather general 'thought piece' in which I have unwisely allowed myself to speculate on some of the contemporary resonances of the Russian Imperial and Soviet past. I have not updated it since 2012, and in ...
