Frege and Fascism
This book is the first to examine in minutiae the politics of Gottlob Frege (1848–1925), and his connections with various traditions of far-right and fascist thought. Frege was a philosopher of logic, language, and mathematics. But he also believed that one could reconcile the politics of the far right with a firm commitment to reason-guided inquiry and scientific objectivity. The fundamental claim of the text is that Gottlob Frege was, from the early 1890s to the mid-1920s, an anti-democratic, nationalist political thinker and that his political thought eventually took on a fascist character. This book makes no attempt to vilify or demonize Gottlob Frege, nor does it try to rescue him fro...
A.K. Chesterton and the Evolution of Britain’s Extreme Right, 1933-1973
Arthur Kenneth (A.K.) Chesterton was a soldier, journalist and activist whose involvement with fascist and extreme right-wing politics in Britain spanned four decades. Beginning with his recruitment to Oswald Mosley’s ‘Blackshirts’ in the 1930s, Chesterton’s ideological relationship with fascism, nationalism and anti-Semitism would persist far beyond the collapse of the interwar movements, culminating in his role as a founder of the National Front in 1967. This study examines Chesterton’s significance as a bridging figure between two eras of extreme right activity in Britain, and considers the ideological and organizational continuity that existed across the interwar and post-war periods. It further uses Chesterton's life as a means to explore the persistence of racism and anti-Semitism within British society, as well as examining the political conflicts and tactical disputes that shaped the extreme right as it attempted to move ‘from the margins to the mainstream’. This book will appeal to students and researchers with an interest in fascism studies, British political history, extremism and anti-Semitism.
Sicherheit und Humanität im Ersten und Zweiten Weltkrieg
Das vorliegende Werk behandelt die repressiven Maßnahmen, die während der beiden Weltkriege in den kriegführenden Staaten gegen die Angehörigen von Feindstaaten durchgeführt wurden. Dabei handelte es sich zum größten Teil um ethnische Minderheiten, die sich in den jeweiligen Staaten angesiedelt hatten und nach Kriegsausbruch zu ‘feindlichen Ausländern’ erklärt wurden. Das Werk stellt einen wichtigen Beitrag zu einer Vielzahl von Forschungsfragen dar, das über das engere Thema der Feindstaatenangehörigkeit hinaus geht und größere Themen wie totale Kriegsführung, innere Sicherheit und Humanitätsbemühungen neu beleuchtet.
Demokratie lernen
Die Bediensteten des Öffentlichen Gesundheitsdienstes in Bayern, die „Hüter der Volksgesundheit", lernten nach 1945 Demokratie, und zwar im informellen Alltag: im Innenministerium, an Gesundheitsämtern oder in Krankenhäusern, beim Verfassen von Gesetzesentwürfen ebenso wie beim Röntgen. Manches erlernten sie, manches lernten sie erneut, manches verlernten sie. Es ging um die Würde des Menschen, um Gewalt und Eugenik, um die Gleichstellung von Mann und Frau, um Grundrechte und Bindung an geltendes Recht. Sophie Friedl erzählt das Ineinandergreifen von illiberalen Traditionen und demokratischen Impulsen, von Ungleichzeitigkeit, Eigendynamik und Ambivalenz als eine Geschichte des Lern...
Movements and Ideas of the Extreme Right in Europe
The term «extreme right» is frequently employed in political discourse, in the media, and in academic debates. This volume presents a broad range of movements, political parties and persons, all of them representing positions and continuities within the framework of the extreme right, ranging from the end of the First World War to the 21st century.
An Ethnic At Large
This work begins with a boy named Geraldo growing up Sicilian in Rochester, New York, and ends with the author breakfasting with Eleanor Roosevelt in the White House. It is a portrait of what it was like to come of age in the 1930s and 1940s.
Making Markets Making Place
This book examines place and place-making in London’s Borough Market. In particular, it uses topo/graphy (‘place-writing) to interrogate the ways in which Borough Market’s material, social-sensual and discursive relations assemble to reproduce Borough Market as a place, market and marketplace. Its central premise is that market-processes – the negotiation and exchange of commodities –are place-processes. This means that the often-abstract relationships that ultimately define what we think of as the economy are embedded in the rich and every materiality, sociality, sensuality and meanings associated with place. By tracing out these different elements, topo/graphy illustrates the ways in which economic reproduction is grounded in particular and often discrete practices. However, by assembling them together, this highlights the ways in which place and place-making are the driving force behind the economy at large.
Theories, Sites, Toposes
According to Grothendieck, the notion of topos is "the bed or deep river where come to be married geometry and algebra, topology and arithmetic, mathematical logic and category theory, the world of the continuous and that of discontinuous or discrete structures". It is what he had "conceived of most broad to perceive with finesse, by the same language rich of geometric resonances, an "essence" which is common to situations most distant from each other, coming from one region or another of the vast universe of mathematical things". The aim of this book is to present a theory and a number of techniques which allow to give substance to Grothendieck's vision by building on the notion of classify...
Commemorating War and War Dead
Since Bouthoul's seminal work on polemology (1951), war studies have been increasingly influenced by sociology, psychology and psychoanalysis, memory studies, and even literary theory; while also weathering the storms of the cultural turn and, more generally, postmodernism. These are challenges that raised new questions, or offered new answers. How is war memorialized and commemorated? How do individuals react to war trauma? How are individual reactions and narratives implemented in collective thoughts, narratives and memories? How do societies remember wars, and how do these memories, in turn, affect political structures? How are public commemorations organized? These are some of the questions contemporary war studies are still engaged in. By presenting case studies both ancient and modern, from the ancient Greeks and Romans through medieval and modern times to contemporary history, this volume stimulates reflection on how and why individuals and societies remember and commemorate war.
