Abstract

AbstractThe question of how individuals produce and reproduce geopolitical ideologies is central to critical geopolitics, but there is little consensus on how this process works or what methods can meaningfully interrogate it. This article brings together methods from critical geopolitics, history, and sociolinguistics to assess the development, dissemination, and trajectory of Anglo-Saxonism, a late-nineteenth century movement which sought to unite the white English-speaking peoples of the world based on the racial heritage and democratic socio-political institutions they allegedly shared. We investigate the archival material of two prominent historians central to this movement—E.A. Freeman and H.B. Adams—to examine their own statements about their work, introducing the concept of “geopolitical metanarratives” to link between intention and discourse. We find that as Freeman and Adams intentionally worked to advance the movement, they relied on a spatial imagination that emphasized the historical continuity of socio-political institutions as the key racialized geopolitical metanarrative that served to underpin their efforts. 批判地缘政治学的核心问题是: 个人如何产生和复制地缘政治意识形态。这一过程如何运作、什么方法可以有效地探究这一过程, 我们几乎没有共识。本文结合批判地缘政治学、历史学和社会语言学, 评估了盎格鲁-撒克逊主义的发展、传播和轨迹。盎格鲁-撒克逊主义是19世纪末的一场运动, 旨在基于共同的种族传统和民主社会政治制度, 团结世界上讲英语的白人。我们研究了这场运动的两位核心历史学家E.A.

新盎格鲁-撒克逊人:种族、空间和地缘政治话语的产生
摘要个人如何产生和再生产地缘政治意识形态是批判性地缘政治的核心问题,但对于这一过程是如何运作的,或者什么方法可以有意义地质疑它,人们几乎没有达成共识。本文汇集了批判性地缘政治、历史和社会语言学的方法,以评估盎格鲁-撒克逊主义的发展、传播和轨迹。盎格鲁-撒克逊主义是19世纪末的一场运动,旨在基于种族遗产和民主社会政治制度,团结世界上说英语的白人。我们调查了两位杰出历史学家的档案材料,他们是这一运动的核心——e.a.。弗里曼(Freeman)和H.B.亚当斯(H.B. adams),通过引入“地缘政治元叙事”的概念,将意图和话语联系起来,来检验他们自己对自己工作的陈述。我们发现,当弗里曼和亚当斯有意推动这场运动时,他们依赖于一种空间想象,这种想象强调社会政治制度的历史连续性,将其作为支撑他们努力的关键种族化地缘政治元叙事。批判地缘政治学的核心问题是: 个人如何产生和复制地缘政治意识形态。这一过程如何运作、什么方法可以有效地探究这一过程, 我们几乎没有共识。本文结合批判地缘政治学、历史学和社会语言学, 评估了盎格鲁-撒克逊主义的发展、传播和轨迹。盎格鲁-撒克逊主义是19世纪末的一场运动,旨在基于共同的种族传统和民主社会政治制度,团结世界上讲英语的白人。我们研究了这场运动的两位核心历史学家电子Freeman j.h.b。【中文译文】通过引入“地缘政治元叙事”概念, 将意图和话语相联系起来。我们发现,为了推动这场运动,弗里曼和亚当斯依赖于一种强调社会政治制度的历史连续性的空间假想。乔治·弗里曼,乔治·亚当斯。El interroante sobre cómo se产生了复制的las ideologías geopolíticas, as as to central en la geopolítica crítica, unque hay poco consenso sobre cómo opera este process, o sobre quest quest process, o sobre quest quest是一个有意义的调查。El危象军政府metodos de la geopolitica desde la geopolitica critica, la史学家y la sociolinguistica对位evaluar El desarrollo diseminacion y trayectoria▽anglo-saxonismo,联合国movimiento德最终del siglo第十九,pretendio unir洛普韦布洛人皇马del mundo hablaban单身,反对基地在苏herencia种族y sus instituciones sociopoliticas民主行动,是supuestamente compartian。调查历史资料档案,研究历史运动的基本原理。弗里曼·h·b·亚当斯-从论述的角度出发,从论述的角度出发,引入了“元叙事”geopolíticas的概念,从论述的角度出发,引入了“元叙事”sí和intención。从弗里曼到亚当斯,从他的理论出发,从他的理论出发,从他的理论出发,从他的理论出发,从他的理论出发,从他的理论出发,imaginación从他的理论出发,从他的理论出发,histórica从他的理论出发,sociopolíticas,从他的元叙事出发,geopolítica种族主义出发,servía从他的理论出发,从他的理论出发。关键词:英美特殊relationshipAnglo-Saxonismcritical话语analysiscritical geopoliticshistorical地理:英美特殊关系盎格鲁-撒克逊主义批判性话语分析批判地缘政治学历史地理学:分析critico del discursoanglo-sajonismogeografia historicageopolitica criticarelacion特别angloamericana ACKNOWLEDGMENTSThe作者要感谢三个匿名评论者和处理编辑Josh Inwood博士对他们有用的评论较早的一份草案。这篇文章起源于爱达荷大学硕士论文的一部分,Thomas Ptak博士和Sean Quinlan博士作为委员会成员提供了宝贵的见解和指导。最后,作者感谢Jaume Castan Pinos博士和Olivier Walther博士对本文草稿的宝贵意见。内容和任何剩余错误的责任完全由作者负责。免责声明本文仅代表作者的观点,并不一定反映美国空军学院、空军、国防部或美国政府的官方政策或立场。作者简介:david G.
