This volume assembles a wide range of studies that together
provide-through their interdisciplinary range, international scope,
and historical emphases-an original scholarly exploration of one of
the most important topics in recent nineteenth-century studies: the
emergence in the nineteenth century of forms of global experience
that have developed more recently into rapidly expanding processes
of globalization and their attendant collisions of race, religion,
ethnicity, population groups, natural environments, national will
and power. Emphasizing such links between global networks past and
present, the essays in this volume engage with the latest work in
postcolonial, cosmopolitan, and globalization theory while speaking
directly to the most pressing concerns of contemporary geopolitics.
Each essay examines specific cultural and historical circumstances
in the formation of nineteenth-century worlds from a range of
disciplinary perspectives, including economics, political history,
natural history, philosophy, the history of medicine and disease,
religious studies, literary criticism, art history, and colonial
studies. Detailed in their particular modes of analysis yet
integrated into a collective conversation about the nineteenth
century's profound impact on our present worlds, these inquiries
also explore the economic, political, and cultural determinants on
nineteenth-century types of transnational experience as
interweaving forces creating new material frameworks and conceptual
models for comprehending major human categories-such as race,
gender, subjectivity, and national identity-in global terms. As
nineteenth-century global intersections differ in important ways
from the shapes of globalization today, however, the essays in this
volume generate new ways of understanding emergent patterns of
worldwide experience in the age of imperialism and thereby
stimulate fresh insights into the dynamics of global formations and
conflicts today.
