After seven months of diplomatic crisis following the shooting down of Russian fighter jet by the Turkish Armed Forces, Turkish-Russian relations entered into the process of reconciliation in June 2016. Few weeks later, Turkey faced with a coup attempt (July 15, 2016) which was a crucial turning point in Turkey's repositioning itself in the international politics. Deteriorating relations with the West and rapprochement with Russia have brought along debates with regards to Eurasianism as an alternative foreign policy orientation. In this regard, this thesis is dealing with the Patriotic Party's proposed Eurasianist idea, Kemalist Eurasianism, to put forth the idea's conceptual and contextual map by analysing and interpreting the works of Doğu Perinçek, chairman of the Patriotic Party, and the party's monthly journal, Teori, within the framework of conceptual history approach. In doing so, the thesis confronts the misconception of Kemalist Eurasianism as a derivation of Russian neo-Eurasianism and argues that the idea is originated from the Kemalist revolution and left-nationalist currents of thought historically. Thus, the thesis reveals that Kemalist Eurasianism primarily is a national agenda based on Kemalist principles of nationalism, etatism and populism, and is the international extension of...

This dissertation is an intervention aimed primarily at the field of Canadian Political Science, but informed by engagements with Indigenous Studies, literatures on racial capitalism, and Global Histories. The overarching aim of the project is to provide a theoretical framework by which to study multi-scalar struggles taking place within and against the Canadian state from an explicitly anti-imperialist perspective. The insights of this project should also be of interest to the broad left, both in Canada and beyond. The dissertation begins with a call to situate the Canadian state, and its practice of “settler imperialism” as part of multi-scalar system of global racial capitalism. Key to understanding this is the mobilization of Stuart Hall’s concept of the “historical bloc” as a tool to grasp political mediations, and to refuse the too-easy analytical reification of structures or their practices of difference making. Part two of the dissertation interrogates the politics of solidarity “from below” by engaging “activist archives,” composed of “allyship toolkits,” zines, and pamphlets. These activist archives reveal two (at least analytically) distinct theories of change operating through the discourses of allyship and decolonization. While to differing degrees, they point to the work of politics below the state. In the case of “allyship” discourses this dissertation finds a normative individualism and an understanding of power as an object rather than something collectively exercised, leading to a charity model where solidarity is seen as an external relationship. In contrast, the decolonization literature understands how solidarity can proceed from an interested position towards building a relationship of shared concern, it substitutes a deference model for one defined by “relational autonomy” in the process of “worldmaking.” The final portion of this dissertation makes an in- depth case-study of Indigenous-led opposition to the Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX) pipeline project. Tracing out a number of strategies of hegemony, counter-hegemony, and grassroots struggles, the aim is to show a number of interrelated sites and tactics of anti-imperialist struggle grounded in a defence of both shared place and the self-determination of Indigenous nations. / Graduate / 2023-08-25

La recherche sur le développement du panasiatisme en dehors du Japon a été longtemps négligée par les historiens. Ce mémoire est une tentative de décloisonnement du panasiatisme afin de mieux comprendre son émergence en Asie et son rôle dans la construction de l'identité asiatique entre 1900 et 1924 en examinant le discours de cinq acteurs de l’« idéologie ». Utilisant comme perspectivel'histoire globale, il démontre comment le panasiatisme en Asie s'inscrit dans un réseau de contacts et de circulation d'idées intra-asiatique au début du 20e siècle, réseau influencé principalement par deux concepts dans sa définition de l'Asie: la race jaune et la civilisation asiatique. Tentant de mieux comprendre la relation entre la pensée en Asie et au Japon, le mémoire explore aussi les similarités et différences entre eux, notamment la création d'une identité et de la perception du Japon comme modèle de modernisation et chef du continent qui se propagent en Asie à travers la rhétorique panasiatique. / Research on the development of Pan-asianism outside Japan has long been neglected by historians. This thesis is an attempt of decompartmentalization of Pan-asianism to better understand its emergence in Asia and its role in the construction of an Asian identity between 1900 and 1924. This will be done by examining the speech of five actors of this "ideology." Using a Global History perspective, it demonstrates how Pan-asianism in Asia is part of a network of contacts and circulation of ideas in the early 20th century which was mainly influenced by two concepts in its definition of Asia: the yellow race and the Asian civilisation. Other than trying to better understand the relationships between Pan-asianism in Asia and Japan, this master’s thesis also explores the similarities and differences between them, especially the creation of an identity and a perception of Japan as a model of modernization and leader of the continent that spreads in Asia through Pan-asianism’s rhetoric.

On July 28, 1915 the United States began a nineteen year military occupation of Haiti. The occupation connected Haiti and the United States and created an avenue of migration in the country. As a consequence of extreme racism in the South and segregation in the Northern states, the majority of the immigrants moved to Harlem. The movement of people reinvigorated the relationship between African Americans and Haitians. The connection constituted an avenue of the interwar Black International. Using newspapers articles, letters, and press releases from the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and the Yale Beinecke Rare Books and Manuscript Library I seek to examine the relationship between the two groups. The thesis demonstrates how they compared and contrasted the material conditions of the two cultures in order to promote solidarity. These common bonds, my thesis shows, were the basis for anti-occupation activism in the United States that was anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist.

Cette génération de critiques d’art est née à la fin des années 1960. Elle a atteint son apogée dans la seconde moitié de la décennie suivante et a connu un déclin progressif au cours des années 1980 et de la première moitié des années 1990. Le latino-américanisme est un type de continentalisme, c’est-à-dire un mouvement de promotion de l’identité historique, politique et culturelle des pays d’Amérique latine en vue de la protection d’intérêts communs dans le cadre des relations internationales. Dans la seconde moitié du 20e siècle, il est d’ailleurs indissociable de la guerre froide, des mouvements anticolonialistes et anti-impérialistes et des utopies révolutionnaires largement disséminées dans les milieux artistiques et intellectuels d’Amérique latine. En effet, la critique d’art latino-américaniste s’est caractérisée principalement par son engagement dans le débat sur la spécificité de l’art latino-américain, son histoire et ses aspirations théoriques, esthétiques et politiques pour l’avenir. Nous éloignant de l’histoire des idées au profit du cadre plus large de l’histoire sociale, dans cette thèse doctorale nous nous intéressons particulièrement à la constitution et à la progressive consolidation des réseaux de sociabilité intellectuelle qui ont créé les conditions de possibilité pour le développement de ce projet critique. Il s’agit de la multiplication des espaces de rencontre et de débat en Amérique latine, ainsi qu’au sein d’institutions culturelles internationales et d’organisations multilatérales, avec notamment la réalisation de projets éditoriaux et muséologiques collectifs ayant fortement favorisé l’intégration culturelle latino-américaine. L’analyse de ces espaces et de ces projets est au cœur de nos réflexions. / This doctoral research focuses on the Latin Americanist art criticism. This generation of art critics originated in the late 1960s. It peaked in the second half of the following decade and experienced a gradual decline during the 1980s and first half of the 1990s. Latin Americanism is a type of continentalism, a movement for the promotion of the historical, political and cultural identity of the countries of Latin America with the aim of protecting common interests within international relations. In the second half of the 20th century, it was strongly linked to the Cold War, anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist movements and revolutionary utopias widely disseminated in artistic and intellectual circles in Latin America. Furthermore, Latin American art criticism was characterized mainly by its engagement in the debate on the specificity of Latin American art, its history and its theoretical, aesthetic and political aspirations for the future. Moving away from the history of ideas in favour of the broader framework of social history, this doctoral thesis is particularly interested in the constitution and the progressive consolidation of the networks of intellectual sociability which created the conditions of possibility for the development of this critical project. This involves the multiplication of meeting and debate spaces in Latin America, as well as within international cultural institutions and multilateral organizations, with the realization of collective editorial and museological projects that have strongly favoured the integration of Latin American cultures. The analysis of these spaces and these projects is at the heart of our reflections.
