"L\u27Ère des Révolutions," de Fareed Zakaria - Une imposture aux dépens des vivants et des morts
No full text"A Era das Revoluções", de Fareed Zakaria, publicado em 2024, tem como fio condutor a relação entre revoluções passadas (nos Países Baixos, Inglaterra, Estados Unidos e França) e as transformações atuais, que ele qualifica enquanto revolucionárias. O autor divide a história em duas tradições: uma revolucionária holandesa e anglo-saxã, que levou ao liberalismo, e outra originada na Revolução Francesa, que gerou regimes autoritários “iliberais” ou populista. Para Zakaria, a França figura como uma espécie de pecado original, cujas consequências moldaram as “revoluções” contemporâneas. A “marca de nascença” do iliberalismo francês estaria presente em cenários tão díspares quanto a Rússia de Lênin, os Estados Unidos de Trump e a China contemporânea. A resenha critica o livro por sua superficialidade e omissões – com a desconsideração completa do impacto das Revoluções Caribenhas e Sul-Americanas – e pelo uso desonesto da historiografia que é mencionada ao longo do próprio livro."La Era de las Revoluciones," de Fareed Zakaria, publicada en 2024, tiene como hilo conductor la relación entre las revoluciones pasadas (en los Países Bajos, Inglaterra, Estados Unidos y Francia) y las transformaciones actuales, que él califica como revolucionarias. El autor divide la historia en dos tradiciones: una revolucionaria holandesa y anglosajona, que llevó al liberalismo, y otra originada en la Revolución Francesa, que generó regímenes autoritarios “iliberales” o populistas. Para Zakaria, Francia figura como una especie de pecado original, cuyas consecuencias han moldeado las “revoluciones” contemporáneas. La “marca de nacimiento” del iliberalismo francés estaría presente en escenarios tan dispares como la Rusia de Lenin, los Estados Unidos de Trump y la China contemporánea. La reseña critica el libro por su superficialidad y omisiones – con la completa desconsideración del impacto de las Revoluciones Caribeñas y Sudamericanas – y por el uso deshonesto de la historiografía mencionada a lo largo del propio libro."The Age of Revolutions," by Fareed Zakaria, published in 2024, focuses on the connection between past revolutions (in the Netherlands, England, the United States, and France) and current transformations, which he describes as revolutionary. The author divides history into two traditions: a Dutch and Anglo-Saxon revolutionary tradition that led to liberalism, and another rooted in the French Revolution, which resulted in authoritarian "illiberal" or populist regimes. According to Zakaria, France represents a sort of original sin, whose consequences have shaped contemporary "revolutions." The "birthmark" of French illiberalism is evident in scenarios as diverse as Lenin\u27s Russia, Trump\u27s United States, and contemporary China. The review criticizes the book for its superficiality and omissions – notably the complete disregard of the impact of Caribbean and South American revolutions – and for the dishonest use of historiography referenced throughout the book."L\u27Ère des Révolutions," de Fareed Zakaria, publié en 2024, a pour fil conducteur la relation entre les révolutions passées (aux Pays-Bas, en Angleterre, aux États-Unis et en France) et les transformations actuelles, qu\u27il qualifie de révolutionnaires. L\u27auteur divise l\u27histoire en deux traditions : une révolutionnaire néerlandaise et anglo-saxonne, qui a conduit au libéralisme, et une autre issue de la Révolution française, qui a engendré des régimes autoritaires "illibéraux" ou populistes. Pour Zakaria, la France figure comme une sorte de péché originel, dont les conséquences ont façonné les "révolutions" contemporaines. La "marque de naissance" de l\u27illibéralisme français serait présente dans des scénarios aussi disparates que la Russie de Lénine, les États-Unis de Trump et la Chine contemporaine. La critique du livre souligne sa superficialité et ses omissions – avec la non-considération complète de l\u27impact des révolutions caribéennes et sud-américaines – ainsi que l\u27utilisation malhonnête de l\u27historiographie mentionnée tout au long de l\u27ouvrage
Fareed Zakaria: The Post-American World, New York: W. Norton & Company, 2008.
No full textFareed Zakaria is one of the most influential US public intellectuals. He is the editor of the Newsweek International, his political magazine Fareed Zakaria GPS is broadcasted on the CNN and is a regular guest on the World Economic Forums in Davos. He was born in India and later studied Political Science at Yale and Harvard, where he received his Ph.D. These references determine him as the suitable analyst of the current global political and economic transformation that he elaborates in his book. Author analyzes the rise of new centers of power like China and India in the context of economic and cultural globalization and their consequences for the American global position. Zakaria argues that America has to adjust its foreign and domestic policy to the rise of new powers whose competitiveness challenge American position of the last world superpower. Thus, book is extremely relevant for the contemporary analysis of the most interesting political and economic developments in the world. Zakaria develops lucid and intelligent account of the globalized world and the US place in it. His logic is smoothly elaborated with lots of historical analogies and unique mix of foreign policy, economy and cultural studies that provides holistic but at the same time sharp insight of the nowadays world. What gives this book an added value is an approach that goes beyond the sole considerations of the US global role like in the works of Kevin Kagan or Zbigniew Brzezinski. Zakaria's style resembles Thomas Friedman's analysis of globalization; just he adds more focus on the official US policy. Zakaria's book is more relevant now with the foreign policy shift of the Obama administration that has deepened ties with China, Russia and opened new stage in the relations with the Muslim world. However, it is a pity Zakaria did not analyze other centers of powers and it would be interesting to hear his opinion about the impact of the global recession on the power shift in the post-American world. Still, despite holding a pro-American stand, his analysis gives deeper insight about the temporary world. Therefore, I strongly recommend this book to students, researches and scholars of international relations as well as policy makers worldwide
Stylistic study of uniformity of narrative language in the Tigers on the tenth day by Zakaria Tamer
No full textLiterary critics interpret linguistic phenomena through the study of styles and extend their research on the words and constructions related to environmental factors and literary innovations. Ultimately these words and constructions are considered as a particular style. The study of the methods of writers is called stylistics and a statistical approach branches out which quantitatively examines Linguistic phenomena within a statistical framework. There are other approaches to stylistics such as psychological and practical approaches. In general, there is a good context in poetry and fiction and in particular in the works of the Syrian novelist Zakaria Tamer, which leads researchers to follow styles. Analysis of the data from tables and using manual statistical method proved that he has a consisant style in applying uniform linguistic phenomena. Hence, the uniform style of the author in the Tigers on the tenth day was studied. We found that he has resorted to a uniform style (past tense verb + preposition + genitive + intermittent adjective in type and number). As a result, the author sometimes deviates from the uniform method and diversify the literary work to meet special demands of the story. The main reason of uniformity is speech, especially in frequent use of words such as "al-qoul, al-soval, al-sout, al-lahja. " Continuous study of his works makes it clear that this issue is caused by either vocabulary deficiency or the unconscious mind of Zakaria Tamer. If he was aware of uniformity of language, he would have definitely avoided getting caught by the monotonous vocabulary
