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（和泛运动）无可争议地是全球性的，但其可译性的基础却没有引起学术共识。为了在公共领域中定位这些内容，该项目批判性地与印刷媒体范式相结合，将注意力从传播思想内容转移到其他社会传播技术上。巴勒斯坦泛阿拉伯Darwish al-Miqdadi（1897-1961）对志愿协会、准军事组织和教育机构的模范承诺，引出了民族主义与公共领域之间准有机联系的问题。他的传记揭示了在民族主义追求中，个人代理人如何系统地挑选出特定的技术。微观历史焦点，就其本身而言，有助于回答为什么童子军、教科书和社会被认为有利于阿拉伯的团结，即使它们被嵌入或被殖民政府的机器所框定。结合起来，这三种技术不仅描绘了正在形成的阿拉伯民族主义者的全球网络，而且还显示了组织和抗议活动的社会政治形式的可转移性。作为未来几个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，米哈迪迪实际上代表了迄今为止尚未得到充分研究的阿拉伯民族主义的一个方面：它将秘密社会和官方社会、战斗性和官僚主义联系在一起。实际上，他因此体现了泛运动行动者所特有的矛盾的政治主体性。

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.
