British Romanticism and Globalization

这个项目考察了十九世纪上半叶大英帝国陷入的问题，当时她正在为帝国主义铺平道路，并面临着祖国和殖民地前哨的各种“其他”(“其他文化”)。它认为这些十九世纪早期的问题是由一种新出现的和早期形式的全球运动引起的，这种运动涵盖了政治、经济和文化领域，我们现在称之为全球化。通过关注S.T.柯勒律治、P.B.雪莱、约翰·济慈、奥古斯都·厄尔和约翰·勒文提供的重要案例，该项目发现了英国浪漫主义时代所涉及的问题与我们在现代后殖民时代面临的问题之间的重要关系，并通过仔细审查在欧洲和非欧洲文化的相遇中“自然”和“文化”被(去)迷惑、商业化和商品化的过程，为这些问题提供了一些有用的提示。

This project examines the problems in which the British Empire was enmeshed in the first half of the nineteenth century when she was paving the way to imperialism and facing various "others"("other cultures") in the homeland as well as colonial outposts. It considers these early nineteenth-century problems as caused by an emergent and early form of global movement that covers political, economic, and cultural spheres and which we now term globalization. By focusing on significant cases provided by S.T. Coleridge, P. B. Shelley, John Keats, Augustus Earle and John Lewin, the project discerns an important relationship between the problems the age of British Romanticism as involved in and those we are facing in the modern post-colonial age, and furnishes some useful hints to those problems by scrutinizing the processes in which "nature" and "culture" were (de)mystified, commercialized and commodified in the encounter between European and non-European cultures.
