Societies, Scouts and Schoolbooks for the Arab Nation. A case study of Pan-Arabist Darwish al-Miqdadi (1897-1961)

虽然民族主义(和泛泛运动)无可争辩地是全球性的，但其可译性的基础并没有引起任何学术共识。在将这些定位于公共领域时，该项目与印刷媒体范式进行了批判性的接触，将注意力从传播概念内容转移到其他社会交流技术上。巴勒斯坦泛阿拉伯人Darish al-Miqdadi(1897-1961年)对志愿协会、准军事组织和教育机构的模范承诺，回避了民族主义与公共领域之间准有机联系的问题。他的传记揭示了特定的技术是如何被个体代理人在民族主义追求中系统地挑出来的。就微观历史焦点而言，它们有助于回答为什么童子军、教科书和社会被认为有助于阿拉伯国家的团结，即使它们被嵌入或框定在殖民政府的机构中。这三项技术结合在一起，不仅描绘了一个正在形成的阿拉伯民族主义者的全球网络，还展示了社会政治组织形式和工作中的抗议活动的可移动性。作为几个未来阿拉伯民族国家的公务员和为阿拉伯民族主义服务的全球活动家，al-Miqdadi实际上代表了阿拉伯民族主义迄今研究不足的一个方面：它将秘密社会和官方社会、好战和官僚机构联系在一起。实际上，他因此体现了泛运动演员矛盾的政治主体性特征。

While nationalism (and pan-movements) is indisputably global, the underpinnings of its translatability elicrt no academic consensus. In locating these within the public sphere, this project critically engages with the print-media paradigm, shifting attention from circulating ideational contents onto other technologies of social communication. The exemplary commitment of Palestinian Pan-Arab Darwish al-Miqdadi (1897-1961) to voluntary associations, paramilitary organizations and pedagogical institutions begs the question of a quasi organic link between nationalism and the public sphere. His biography reveals how specific technologies are systematically singled out by individual agents in nationalistic pursuits. Micro-historical foci, for their part, help answer why scouting, schoolbooks and societies in particular were deemed conducive to Arab unity, even as they were embedded in, or framed by, the apparatuses of the colonial administration. Taken in conjunction, these three technologies not only map the global networks of an Arab nationalist in the making, but also show the transposability of sociopolitical forms of organization and protest at work. As both a civil servant of several future Arab nation-states and a global activist in the service of Arab nationalism, al-Miqdadi actually typifies a heretofore under-researched dimension of Arab nationalism: its linkage of clandestine and official societies, of militancy and bureaucracy. In effect, he thus exemplifies the ambivalent political subjectivity characteristic of Pan-movements actors.
