SPANISH GUERRILLAS AGAINST NAPOLEON: POLITICAL INTENSITY AND THE WORLD SPIRIT

Pages 329-336 | Published online: 18 Feb 2011
 

Notes

1. I quote from a typescript translation by A. Clint Goodson.

2. For Hegel and Haiti see of course CitationBuck-Morss; but see also the refining and partial critique of Buck-Morss's argument in CitationNesbitt. CitationZizek accepts Buck-Morss's reading in First As Tragedy (111–25).

3. See CitationGuha for a critique of Hegelian world-history from a subalternist perspective.

4. In what follows I consider the claims and conclusions established by Esdaile, CitationFraser, CitationGarcía Cárcel, de Diego, and Bell.

5. Tone reminds us of the “bandit chieftains” who “called the new pattern of individualized warfare by the simple name of the ‘Idea’”. “The Men of the Idea believed that in nature no person was subordinated to another… [They] opposed village, province, and nation almost as much as they did the French government. In the matter of warfare the Men of the Idea believed that the energy of the people could best be harnessed by giving each individual free reign to grab whatever portion of power and territory he could forcefully dominate” (89).
