Sommario/riassunto |
|
What does it mean to be a ""citizen"" today, in an age of unbridled consumerism, terrorism, militarism, and multinationalism? In this passionate and dazzling book, Toby Miller dares to answer this question with the depth of thought it deserves. Fast-moving and far-ranging, Cultural Citizenship blends fact, theory, observation, and speculation in a way that continually startles and engages the reader. Although he is unabashedly liberal in his politics, Miller is anything but narrow minded. He looks at media coverage of September 11th and the Iraq invasion as well as ""infotainment" |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Combining the social and cultural history of war, global and maritime history, this book examines the Argentine Navy during the First World War and in its immediate aftermath. Drawing from a wide range of primary sources, including naval publications, correspondence, memoirs and official documents, the book contributes to the institutional history of the Argentine Navy by outlining the contours of the Force at the beginning of the twentieth century—detailing its |

organisation, resources and training—and its evolution over the decades. The author also explores the repercussions of World War I on the Argentine Navy, focusing on the circulation of ideas, knowledge and debates, and their appropriation and re-signification by this armed institution. It reconstructs the scenario of the Allied naval blockade and German submarine warfare— the main pillars of the economic war waged by the belligerents—and emphasises the difficulties and challenges they posed for Argentine trade, navigation and neutrality, as well as for the naval modernisation projects that the country undertook. Reflecting on the impact of the First World War on the Argentine Republic’s Navy between 1914 and 1928, this book is valuable reading for those researching maritime history, Argentine history and the socio-cultural history of warfare. Agustín Daniel Desiderato holds a PhD in History from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), Argentina. He is a postdoctoral fellow of the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) at the Institute of Argentine and American History Dr. Emilio Ravignani (UBA/CONICET), co-coordinator of the Group of Historical War Studies (GEHiGue) at that institute and Professor at the National Defense University (UNDEF). He has published in international journals such as War in History, The Mariner´s Mirror and The International Journal of Maritime History. |
