| description | This volume is the outcome of a conference held at the University of Naples Federico II as a part of the scholarly initiatives of the PRIN 2022 “Myths of Legitimations and Government of Difference in the European Imperial Regimes during the Modern and Contemporary Age”. The participants were invited to offer insights on one among the most crucial core-periphery relationships in 19th-20th-century world history, namely that between the British Empire and its Crown Jewel, India. Through an exploration of the nature of the conflicts as well as the collaboration and negotiation between different nationalisms and the British Empire, the Conference proposed to elucidate five main issues: How did the British Empire manage India’s diversity, and what was the response from Indian society? Has recent historiography gone beyond the dichotomous characterization of the British Raj as a project of “divide and rule” or as an impartial arbiter between conflicting communities, as the imperial myth claimed? To what extent were different nationalisms a product of India’s own contradictory modernization, and this in turn an effect of the encounter/clash with the Empire? In which sense were India’s nationalist projects genuinely “national” – as opposed to “communal” – and how did they challenge or reinforce the British imperial politics of difference? To what extent has the variegated and internally conflictual nationalist movement in India and the imperial response to it shaped Independent India discourses on national identity and societal conflicts? More specifically, the contributors develop analyses grouped around two perspectives. Firstly, the comparative examination of different “religious” nationalisms, in particular Hindu and Muslim; and, secondly, the role of key figures representing different strands and different phases of the Indian nationalist movement, from Gandhi to Tilak, from Bhagat Singh to Ambedkar. In addition, the concluding essays aim to provide the reader with key elements of the historiographical background of the ongoing debates and controversies about the Indo-British relationship, namely the contribution and the evolution of the so called “Cambridge School” of colonial and global history. |

Published Questo volume raccoglie gli atti di un convegno di studi tenutosi all’Università di Napoli Federico II nell’ambito delle iniziative scientifiche del PRIN 2022 “Myths of Legitimations and Government of Difference in the European Imperial Regimes during the Modern and Contemporary Age”. I partecipanti sono stati invitati a offrire analisi relative a differenti aspetti di una delle relazioni centro-periferia più cruciali nella storia mondiale del XIX e XX secolo, vale a dire quella tra l’Impero britannico e il suo “gioiello della corona”, l’India. Attraverso un'esplorazione della natura dei conflitti nonché della collaborazione e della negoziazione tra diversi nazionalismi e l'Impero britannico, la Conferenza si è riproposta di chiarire cinque questioni principali: in che modo l'Impero britannico ha gestito la diversità dell'India e quale è stata la risposta della società indiana? La storiografia recente è andata oltre la caratterizzazione dicotomica del Raj britannico come progetto di “divide et impera” o come arbitro imparziale tra comunità in conflitto, come sosteneva il mito imperiale? In che misura i diversi nazionalismi furono un prodotto della contraddittoria modernizzazione dell’India, e questa a sua volta un effetto dell’incontro/scontro con l’Impero? In che senso i progetti nazionalisti dell’India erano genuinamente “nazionali” – anziché “comunalistici” – e in che modo sfidavano o rafforzavano la “politica della differenza” praticata dall’Impero? In che misura il movimento nazionalista indiano, nella sua varietà e interna conflittualità, e la risposta imperiale ad esso hanno plasmato i discorsi dell’India indipendente sull’identità nazionale e sui conflitti sociali? Più specificamente, i contributi raccolti nel volume sviluppano analisi raggruppate attorno a due prospettive. In primo luogo, l’esame comparativo dei diversi nazionalismi “religiosi”, in particolare indù e musulmano; e, in secondo luogo, il ruolo delle figure chiave che rappresentano i diversi filoni e le diverse fasi del movimento nazionalista indiano, da Gandhi a Tilak, da Bhagat Singh ad Ambedkar. I due saggi conclusivi mirano altresì a fornire al lettore elementi chiave del retroterra storiografico dei dibattiti e delle controversie in corso sulle relazioni indo-britanniche, focalizzandosi sul contributo e sull’evoluzione della cosiddetta “Scuola di Cambridge” di storia coloniale e globale. 2025-01-14T09:43:24Z 2025-01-14T09:43:24Z 2024 book https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/149749 eng Scuola delle Scienze Umane e Sociali.
