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。在公共领域内定位这些，这个项目批判性地参与印刷媒体范式，将注意力从传播概念内容转移到其他社会传播技术上。巴勒斯坦泛阿拉伯人Darwish 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的准有机联系问题。他的传记揭示了在民族主义追求中，个别代理人是如何系统地挑选特定技术的。对微观历史的关注有助于回答为什么童子军、教科书和社会被认为特别有利于阿拉伯团结，即使它们被嵌入或框定在殖民政府的机器中。结合起来，这三种技术不仅描绘了阿拉伯民族主义者的全球网络，而且还显示了社会政治组织形式和抗议活动的可移植性。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，al-Miqdadi实际上代表了阿拉伯民族主义迄今为止研究不足的一个方面：它的秘密和官方社会，好战和官僚的联系。实际上，他因此而证实了泛运动参与者的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.
