Its political aims were an abolition of serfdom, overthrowing the Russian tsar and democratisation of Russian tsardom. Among the Brotherhood’s members were the ‘founding fathers’ of Ukrainian national movement: Mykola Kostomarov (1817–1885), Taras Shevchenko (1814–1861), Panteleimon Kulish (1819–1897). In this paper, I describe the Brotherhood’s intellectual vision of the future Ukraine as an populist utopia of a Slavic federation of peoples-nations that would be based on freedom and equality guaranteed by unorthodox Christian ethics. Furthermore, I compare the two Brotherhood’s symbols of oppression of Ukrainian peoples, a Russian tsar and a Polish lord. I consider the Brotherhood’s populist utopia in a transnational perspective and in this regard, I demonstrate its intellectual links to other post-Napoleonic revolutionary societies and authors in Europe. I show how the Brotherhood merged the local Ukrainian Cossack myth and folk culture with internationalist slogan of the French Revolution ‘liberty, equality, fraternity’.KEYWORDS: Ukrainenineteenth-centurypopulismutopiatransnational Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Бо голос України не затих.

The Influence of Enrico Ferri in Late-Nineteenth Century Argentine Socialism","authors":"Lucas Poy","doi":"10.1080/23801883.2023.2258462","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/23801883.2023.2258462","url":null,"abstract":"Whereas the early history of socialism in Argentina can be traced back to the mid-nineteenth century, a new era began in 1881, when exiled German social democrats began to spread socialist ideas among local workers. Other groups soon emerged, and in 1896 a congress brought them together into a single organisation. A decisive role in this process of centralisation was played by Juan Bautista Justo, an Argentine-born physician who offered the party a reformist perspective, committed to parliamentary practices and apprehensive toward industrial action. This article explores one feature of this political development: the translation and publication of Socialismo e scienza positiva (Darwin-Spencer-Marx), by the Italian intellectual Enrico Ferri. The translation is a case in point to explore how intellectual exchanges came to play in the early stages of the socialist movement in the Global South. This was the first local socialist endeavour to translate a foreign book—until then, Argentine socialists had been selling translations originally published in Spain. This article examines the main takeaways that Argentine socialists took of Ferri’s book, showing how the volume provided them with theoretical support and academic prestige to consolidate a perspective that emphasised the gradual and peaceful character of their emancipatory project.","PeriodicalId":36896,"journal":{"name":"Global Intellectual History","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136336783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It asks why Owenites, as well as Chartists and Fourierists, were drawn to German-American utopian engineer John Adolphus Etzler’s settlement plans in the tropics. Etzler envisioned a tropical paradise run by machinery, where workers and their families lived in a cooperative community and worked only 50 days a year. First, the paper conceptualises the notion of utopian engineering, then it discusses the ambivalences in Robert Owen’s attitudes towards machinery. It shows that Owen endorsed mechanization as a tool to reduce child labour but feared that it caused unemployment and misery among adult skilled workers. The third part investigates Owen’s endorsement of Etzler’s colonial scheme, arguing that the early socialist and the engineer were mutually dependent on each other. Etzler provided Owen with a solution to his technological conundrum, while Owenite publications offered him a means to reach broader audiences for his Tropical Emigration Society. By demonstrating this entanglement, my paper adds to the literature of the relationship between utopia, early socialism, and engineering, and shows that mechanization was as central to early socialism as the abolition of private property, bourgeois marriage and religion.","PeriodicalId":36896,"journal":{"name":"Global Intellectual History","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136337232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first part of the paper will engage with the socialistic aspirations and political language of the radical branch of the Young Ottomans, in the writings of Mehmed, Reşad and Nuri Beys. The second part will reconstruct the debate between the detractors and defenders of the Paris Commune of 1871 regarding the meanings, effects, and possible threats or benefits of socialism, to rediscover what the Ottomans meant by socialism and what the Commune and socialism meant to them. The article will demonstrate that socialism did not meet with a delayed response in Turkey, contrary to what conventional historiography claims. In fact, the Ottomans were aware of these developments. Just as elsewhere, 1848 and, more importantly, 1871 were important turning points in the Leftist discourse within the Ottoman Empire. This early development of Ottoman socialist perspectives means that Ottoman Empire is more accurately considered as an active participant in the global intellectual trends of the nineteenth century, rather than as a passive observer.","PeriodicalId":36896,"journal":{"name":"Global Intellectual History","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135199150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
