Technical and Scientific Training in the Construction of Empires
Author: Alice Santiago Faria
language: en
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
Release Date: 2025-07-24
This book proposes a comparative reading between formal, or non-formal, structures of learning and individual agency abilities, highlighting influences and entanglements in different geographies from multiple spheres of knowledge and practices. “Learning Places” is an expression that intends to underline the very nature of technical and scientific knowledge transmission related to the built environment transformation of imperial colonial areas. This volume proposes an approach that emphasises the crucial role of the connection between individual and institutional levels, forming a complex network of Learning Places. By comparing different case studies in fields of knowledge and transformation of the built environment—military engineering and cartography, among others—the book establishes a comparative frame of the political-scientific enterprise of empires, across geographies and times. Technical and Scientific Training in the Construction of Empires is of key interest to researchers, teachers, and students of a variety of disciplines, including the history of science and technology, architecture and urban studies, and colonial and post-colonial studies.

The Dialogic Nation of Cape Verde

language: en
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Release Date: 2015-04-08
The Dialogic Nation of Cape Verde: Slavery, Language, and Ideology is an ethnographic study of language use and ideology in Cape Verde, from its early settlement as a center for slave trade, to the postcolonial present. The study is methodologically rich and innovative in that it weaves together historical, linguistic, and ethnographic data from different eras with sketches of contemporary life—a homicide trial, a scholarly meeting, a competition for a new national flag, a heterodox Catholic mass, an analysis of love letters, a priest’s sermon, and a death in the neighborhood. In all these different contexts, Márcia Rego focuses on the role of Kriolu (the Cape Verdean Creole) and its relation to Portuguese—that is, on the way people live through speaking. The Dialogic Nation of Cape Verde shows how, through the dialogic give-and-take of the two languages, Cape Verdeans wrestle with deep-seated colonial hierarchies, invent and rehearse new traditions, and articulate their identity as a sovereign, creole nation.
