Zapadni svet

S Vikipedije, slobodne enciklopedije
Zapadni svet izveden iz Sukoba civilizacija Samjuela F. Hantingtona:[1] svetloplavom bojom su obojeni Latinska Amerika i pravoslavni svet, koji se smatraju ili delom Zapada ili kao različite civilizacije blisko povezane sa Zapadom.[2][3]

Zapadni svet, poznat i kao Zapad, prvenstveno se odnosi na različite nacije i države u regionima Australazije, zapadne i srednje Evrope, kao i Severne Amerike, uz debatu o tome da li se istočna Evropa i Latinska Amerika takođe smatraju delovima Zapada.[4][5][6] Zapadni svet se takođe naziva Okcident, za razliku od istočnog sveta poznatog kao Orijent.[7]

Savremeni zapadni svet u suštini obuhvata nacije i države u kojima se civilizacija ili kultura smatra zapadnom[8][9][10] — čije korene neki istoričari vuku do grčko-rimskog sveta i hrišćanstva.[11][12] U globalnom raskolu sever—jug, Zapad je često u korelaciji sa globalnim severom.[13][14] Istorijska ideja o Evropi kao geografskom Zapadu pojavila se u Grčkoj u petom veku pre nove ere.[15][16][17] Geografski koncept Zapada počeo je da se oblikuje u 4. veku nove ere kada je Konstantin Veliki, prvi rimski car koji je bio hrišćanin, podelio Rimsko carstvo između grčkog istoka i latinskog zapada. Istočno rimsko carstvo, kasnije nazvano Vizantija, nastavilo se tokom jednog milenijuma, dok je Zapadno rimsko carstvo trajalo samo oko vek i po. To je dovelo do toga da mnogi ljudi u zapadnoj Evropi zavide Vizantiji i da tamošnje hrišćane smatraju jereticima.[7] Godine 1054. kada je crkva u Rimu izopštila vizantijskog patrijarha, političko-religijska podela između zapadne crkve i istočne crkve kulminirala je Velikim raskolom.[7][18] Iako su se prijateljski odnosi između dva dela hrišćanskog sveta nastavili još neko vreme, krstaški ratovi su neprijateljstvom učinili raskol konačnim.[19] Zapad je tokom krstaških ratova pokušao da zauzme trgovačke puteve ka Istoku i nije uspeo, a umesto toga je otkrio Ameriku.[20] Posle evropske kolonizacije ovih novootkrivenih zemalja, pojavila se ideja o zapadnom svetu, kao nasledniku latinskog hrišćanstva.[21]

U srednjem veku, Evropljani su termin „Zapad” počeli da koriste za opisivanje Evrope. Od 18. veka, nakon evropskih istraživanja, reč je korišćena za označavanje regiona sveta sa evropskim naseljima.[22][23][24] U savremeno doba, zemlje za koje se smatra da sačinjavaju Zapad razlikuju se prema perspektivi, a ne prema geografskoj lokaciji. Države poput Australije i Novog Zelanda, koje se nalaze na istočnoj hemisferi, smatraju se delom moderne definicije zapadnog sveta,[25] pošto su ovi regioni i drugi slični njima bili pod značajnim uticajem Britanaca — koji su proizašli iz kolonizacije i imigracije Evropljana.[26] Uprkos tome što se nalazi na Dalekom istoku, zemlje poput Japana, u nekim kontekstima, smatraju se delom Zapada jer su usklađene sa idealima demokratije zapadnog stila, dok se za zemlje poput Kube, koja se nalazi na zapadnoj hemisferi, tvrdi da nisu deo Zapada jer su u skladu sa idealima komunizma.[27] U zavisnosti od konteksta i istorijskog perioda o kome je reč, na Rusiju se ponekad gledalo kao na deo Zapada, a ponekad na suprotstavljenu njemu.[28][29][30] Uporedo sa usponom Sjedinjenih Američkih Država kao velike sile i razvojem informaciono-komunikacionih tehnologija, SAD su postale istaknutije u konceptualizaciji Zapada.[28]

Između 18. do sredine 20. veka, istaknute zemlje na Zapadu, kao što su SAD, Kanada, Brazil, Argentina, Australija i Novi Zeland, nekada su bile zamišljene kao etnokratije za belce.[31][32][33] Rasizam se navodi kao faktor koji doprinosi zapadnjačkoj kolonizaciji Novog sveta, koji danas čini veliki deo „geografskog” zapadnog sveta.[34][35] Počevši krajem 1960-ih, određeni delovi zapadnog sveta postali su prepoznatljivi po svojoj raznolikosti zbog imigracije.[36][37] Ideja „Zapada” je tokom vremena evoluirala od usmerenog koncepta do društveno-političkog koncepta koji je bio temporalizovan i prikazan kao koncept budućnosti sa predstavama o progresu i modernosti.[28]

In general, researchers consider that it has three main components, in Europe, North America and Latin America. [...] However, Latin America has followed a quite different development path from Europe and North America. Although it is a scion of European civilization, it also incorporates more elements of indigenous American civilizations compared to those of North America and Europe. It also currently has had a more corporatist and authoritarian culture. Both Europe and North America felt the effects of Reformation and combination of Catholic and Protestant cultures. Historically, Latin America has been only Catholic, although this may be changing. [...] Latin America could be considered, or a sub-set, within Western civilization, or can also be considered a separate civilization, intimately related to the West, but divided as to whether it belongs with it.”

ISBN 9780534646028. „people in these early civilizations viewed themselves as subjects of states or empires, not as members of Western civilization. With the rise of Christianity during the Late Roman Empire, however, peoples in Europe began to identify themselves as part of a civilization different from others, such as that of Islam, leading to a concept of a Western civilization different from other civilizations. In the fifteenth century, Renaissance intellectuals began to identify this civilization not only with Christianity but also with the intellectual and political achievements of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Important to the development of the idea of a distinct Western civilization were encounters with other peoples. Between 700 and 1500, encounters with the world of Islam helped define the West. But after 1500, as European ships began to move into other parts of the world, encounters with peoples in Asia, Africa, and the Americas not only had an impact on the civilizations found there but also affected how people in the West defined themselves. At the same time, as they set up colonies, Europeans began to transplant a sense of Western identity to other areas of the world, especially North America and parts of Latin America, that have come to be considered part of Western civilization.”

ISBN 9781134374755. „During the 18th and 19th centuries, Western civilization expanded geographically, in whole or in part. [...] a host of major trends... occurred essentially in parallel, suggesting significant cohesion within an expanded Western civilization. The industrial revolution, though launched in Britain, turned out to be a transatlantic process very quickly. ... The same applies to the new movement to limit per capita birth rates – the demographic transition that ran through Western civilization during the 19th century... and the outcomes by 1900, in unprecedentedly low birth rates per family combined with rapidly falling infant death rates, was essentially the same through out this expanded Western world.”

I have defined it as those "religious traditions, institutions, cultures and nations, including their contemporary shared values, that together emerged as the intellectual descendants and transformers of Latin Christendom." Geographically, this entails Western Europe (including Poland and other central European countries), North America and many other parts of the world that share these traditions and histories, or have adopted them. Much of Central and South America seem to reflect these traditions and values.”

By the Middle Ages, it was already being used by Europeans to describe Europe, and by the late six-teenth century, it had become associated with forward movement, with youth and vigor, and ultimately, as Europe expanded—westward—with "civilization". Ever since the eighteenth century, the word has been applied not only to Europe but also to Europe's settlers overseas, to the wider European World.”

The opposite here is a non-western world in Africa, Asia and Latin America – now dubbed “the global south” – though many people in Latin America will claim a western inheritance, too. This way of talking notices the whole world, but lumps a whole lot of extremely different societies together, while delicately carving around Australians and New Zealanders and white South Africans, so that “western” here can look simply like a euphemism for white.”
