They are complemented by a couple of specialized, independent contributions by scholars working in the field of cults. It may be noted that the Finnish participants were newcomers in the cult research group since the Hungarian cult studies draw on traditions in the history of literature (e.g. Péter Dávidházi on Shakespeare-cult, the publications of the Petőfi Museum of Literature, Budapest and the Déri Múzeum, Debrecen) and critical studies. Also studies in personality cults of the Communist leaders in the Eastern Europe have been launched there. In Finland the situation has been different. There have been lively cults of J. L. Runeberg (national poet), J. V. Snellman (philosopher for the Finnish nation) and other luminaries but genuine political cults have been relatively rare and ambiguous. In such a legalist country as Finland has been, revolutionary popular movements imitating National Socialism and Fascism impregnated by obsessive cultic practices, could not gain long-standing, firm foothold. That Vihtori Kosola, the leader of the ‘fascismo of Finland’ – the label of a British contemporary correspondent – could call almost 13,000 peasants to demonstrate in 1930 at the main square in Helsinki, was the utmost he could manage and it was not enough to transform his popularity into a personality cult. And that he was donated a bust of Mussolini by the Italian Embassy rather was a symbolic diplomatic gesture not prone to elevate Kosola’s figure to wider public acceptance. Nevertheless, usually in times of crisis, some strong men have been promoted to represent the ‘ability to defend’ the country. One of them was, for example, President P.E. Svinhufvud for the White Finland in the early 1930s. In contrast, the feminine symbol of Finland, the white- dressed virgin, was a rather fragile figure but all the same politically utilized. Lenin and Mannerheim are exceptional types as they represent the heroism of the opposing political camps. It has been a great intellectual pleasure and refreshment to the Finnish participants to get acquainted with the Hungarian insights and methods to study cults during the project. Hopefully, the impact has been mutual. The Finnish contingent wishes to thank the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Finland for their support.

    Fascist Lapua Movement in the 1930S SAMI

Applying constructionist social problems theory, it discusses the constructions of communism as a religious social problem, Christian piety as a solution to the problem of godless communism, and the religious legitimation of violence. The article argues that by identifying Christianity with the Finnish nation the construction of communism as a religious problem—itself an outcome of the influence of revivalist Lutheran ministers in the leadership of the movement—resonated with the broader audience, but that this indigenous religious nationalism lost support with the increasing belligerence of the movement. At the end of the 1920s Finland was a divided country. The Civil War of 1918, fought between the socialist “Reds” and the bourgeois and agrarian “Whites” in the aftermath of independence from (now Bolshevik) Russia, was a cultural trauma on par with the Spanish Civil War.1 The proportional death toll in the repression of the defeated Reds exceeded that of all other European civil conflicts in the inter-war era.2 Yet, despite the victory and the official banning of the Communist Party, some factions on the White side saw the re-emergence and 1 Sami Koskelainen has a Bachelor of Arts from University College London, School of Slavonic and East European Studies.
  • Cults of Personality, Preference Falsification, and the Dictator's

    Cults of Personality, Preference Falsification, and the Dictator's

    Cults of personality, preference falsification, and the dictator's dilemma Charles Crabtreex, Holger L. Kerny, and David A. Siegelz Abstract: We provide a novel rational explanation for why cults of personality exist: they solve the dictator's adverse selection problem in assigning subordinates to roles within the regime. Participation in a cult of personality is psychologically costly whenever it involves preference falsification, with the costs varying across individuals. Importantly, low psychological costs of preference falsification are correlated with traits the dictator values, such as unscrupulousness and ruthlessness, which we collectively term disposition-based competence. Under a wide variety of circumstances, this correlation makes participation in cults of personality informative from the dictator's point of view, allowing him to hire loyal and competent subordinates for the most important regime positions. In contrast to earlier formal work, our model implies that dictators can use cults of personality to avoid the loyalty-competence trade-off when promoting subordinates.

  • Reading Arendt's on Revolution After the Fall of the Wall

    Reading Arendt's on Revolution After the Fall of the Wall

    Keeping the Republic: Reading Arendt’s On Revolution after the Fall of the Wall Dick Howard Introduction: From where do you speak, comrade? Two decades after the fall of the Wall seemed to announce – by default, as an unexpected gift – the triumph of democracy, optimism appears at best naïve, at worst an ideological manipulation of the most cynical type. The hope was that the twin forms of modern anti-politics – the imaginary planned society and the equally imaginary invisible hand of the market place – would be replaced by the rule of the demos; citizens together would determine the values of the commonwealth. The reality was at first the ‘New World Order’ of George H.W. Bush; then the indecisive interregnum of the Clinton years; and now the crass take over of democratic rhetoric by the neo-conservatives of George W. Bush. ‘Man is born free, yet everywhere he is in chains,’ wrote Rousseau at the outset of The Social Contract; how this came about was less important, he continued, than what made it legitimate: that was what needed explanation. So it is today; what is it about democracy that makes it the greatest threat to its own existence? In this context, it is well to reread Hannah Arendt’s On Revolution, published in 1963. On returning recently to my old (1965) paperback edition, I was struck by the spare red and black design of the cover, which was not (as I thought for a moment) a subtle allusion to the conflict of communism and anarchism for the realization of ‘true’ democracy, but simply the backdrop against which the editor stressed these sentences: ‘With nuclear power at a stalemate, revolutions have become the principal political factor of our time.

    Somaly Mam, Nick Kristof, and the Cult of Personality | Jacobin 6/16/14 4:20 PM jacobinmag.com 6.16.14 A couple of self-promoting showoffs pale beside proliferating government machinery that now churns out salaries and prestige for thousands worldwide caught up in a movement based on fraud. A Cambodian activist against sex slavery, Somaly Mam, recently resigned from her foundation after an outside investigation confirmed she had lied to attract donors and supporters. The revelations of Mam’s fraudulence are old news, however — Simon Marks’s reports have been appearing in the Cambodian Daily since 2012, and many other debunkings and doubts circulated much earlier among institutions, researchers, and activists trying to reverse unfounded sensationalism about CC-BY-SA-3.0 , via Wikimedia Commons sex trafficking. Newsweek published some of Marks’s work on May 21, provoking outrage in the New York media establishment — less towards Mam than one of her greatest fans, self-styled slave rescuer Nicholas Kristof. He is accused of hoodwinking liberal-identifying readers and letting down the cause of journalism. Both accusations miss the point. An editor from this media in-group asked if I would write for them about Somaly Mam’s resignation, having seen tweets indicating I don’t consider it significant. She suggested I write about problems of “accountability” with institutions like Mam’s, along with the “history and failures of the organization and others like it.” I asked if she was acquainted with my work, mentioning my research on projects to help and save women who sell sex, documented in Sex at the Margins, which originatedthe concept of a “rescue industry.” Since my analysis rarely gets into the mainstream, the focus of anything I do for such outlets would have to explain the basics about that industry.

Tyler Lutz History Senior Seminar Senior Thesis Paper Cult of Personality: North Korea under Kim Il-Sung Lutz 1 North Korea, The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, or “The Hermit Kingdom” as it is occasionally referred to, is the most isolated country in the world today. Its people have lived under the dictatorial rule of the world’s only dynastic communist regime, that of the Kim family for over half a century. The country is highly militaristic, highly idealistic, and always appears to be on the edge of instigating a new conflict in the region. The country itself is relatively young, having only split from the South immediately following World War II. Up until that point, Korea had been a unified nation for over 1100 years. Their history was for the most part peaceful and stable, until the late 19 th century when increasing pressures from the West and the Japanese forced Korea to open up to the world.

    Love and Exploitation: Personality Cults, Their Characteristics

    LOVE AND EXPLOITATION: PERSONALITY CULTS, THEIR CHARACTERISTICS, THEIR CREATION, AND MODERN EXAMPLES By SARAH GAIL HUNTER (Under the direction of Sherry Lowrance) ABSTRACT This thesis seeks to uncover the mystery behind a commonly used term: personality cults. Made famous during the reign of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, personality cults are written about but not fully explained from a theoretical perspective. In this study, I detail a theory of personality cults by exploring the characteristics that make up personality cults, how they are created, and demonstrate this through three case studies. The cases used are Russian president Vladimir Putin, Cuba’s former leader, Fidel Castro, and Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez.

Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8397-8730 Some European roots of the personality cult phenomenon – the attempt of comparative approach I. The most visible examples of modern cult of personality had been connected with the three totalitarian political systems that emerged in Europe after the first world war, namely Soviet communism (Lenin and Stalin), Italian fascism (Mussolini) and German Nazism (Hitler). Certainly, every political regime tries to preserve its power as long as it is possibly. Nevertheless, in case of democratic political systems the best way is simply to win the next elections (parliamentary or presidential or even both at the best). On the other hand, authoritarian political systems can use even force (or so- called “naked power” in B. Russel terminology) to achieve this goal. Moreover, totali- tarian political systems not only aim to stay at power at all cost but also try to change whole economic – social – political situation in the country and sometimes even try to create “new man” for a new society. Certainly, especially in case of totalitarian politi- cal systems (and quite often also in case of authoritarian political systems), the posi- tion of strong leader – quite often representing also some charismatic virtues (in terms of Weberian ideal type) – is of upmost importance. Moreover, on the base of such strong leadership the personality cult phenomenon can be developed. The personality cult not only can strengthen the position of such the totalitarian political leader but also can create very useful base for the legitimation of power (Beetham, 1991, 2005).

The analysis covers crucial periods before and after the independence: late 19th and early 20th century, when Russia sought to tighten its control over autonomous Finland, and the Finnish intelligentsia organised to resist such attempts, through the civil war of 1918, to the turbulent right/left-divided years of the 1920s and 1930s. Then, the liberalisation of the körtti movement from the 1960s and 1970s onwards, and the effect of this upon the debates and battles over the equal marriage law before and after the law came into effect is discussed.

Duff-Gordon and the Modernist Cult of Personality Megan Richardson* and David Tan**+ Lucy Duff-Gordon occupied the fringes of modernism, a movement defined by a prominent group of radical writers, mu- sicians and artists who reveled in the new century's atmosphere of no formal constraints and constant reinventing. I But, while those at modernism's centre may have been anti-bourgeois, those at the fringes converted modernism's radical agenda to a more bourgeois agenda of hard work, ingenuity and profit. 2 As a fashion designer, Lucy incorporated modernist styles and mo- tifs into her designs and sold them to a flourishing middle-class market as examples of a modernist ideal of form (simple ele- gance) following function (wearability).3 Her colourful, softly. revealing, "personality" dresses broke with traditional dress- styles of the nineteenth century and conveyed the new mood of freedom and modernity.
