First of all, I thank Regina Schulte, my supervisor, who was always open and willing to support this study. I also thank Arfon Rees (EUI), my co-supervisor, whose interest in the project, open-mindedness and knowledge I greatly valued during the last years; our meetings and exchange of ideas have directly and indirectly influenced my formulations of ideas. Gratitude also goes to the two other members of the jury, Monika Richarz (Hamburg) and Mark Roseman (Indiana) for their valuable comments and interest in the project. Richarz, moreover, was willing to read a large part of the manuscript in an earlier stage, giving insightful comments on the project at large and its social Jewish dimension. I also thank Wichert ten Have (Amsterdam) and Frits Boterman (Amsterdam), who gave valuable advice in the initial stage of the thesis. The same counts for Robert Wokler (Yale), who stimulated me to pursue many of my approaches. Toralf Kleinsorge was willing to repeatedly discuss the nature of traditional Jewish culture in Posen, playing a crucial role in the background of the thesis. Tony Mohlo (EUI) was open to discuss the problem of Jewish identity. Arthur Mitzman (Amsterdam) and Jan Aarts (Amsterdam) were open to discuss the project with me during a later stage, which was very insightful, especially on the ‘use and abuse’ of psycho-analytical theory in history and biography. Though this is not a psycho-analytical undertaking, I learned much from both Freudian and post-Freudian theory, even though knowledge of psycho-analysis paradoxically undermined many of its assumptions over the course of this study. For their help and guidance I also thank all those people from the archives and libraries I consulted, including those from the European University Institute in Florence (Serge Noiret and Ruth Gbikpi), the International Institute for Social History and the Rosenthalia Library in Amsterdam, the Leo Baeck Institute in New York and Berlin, the Polish State archives in Bydgoszcz, Poznan and Pila, the German War archives in Karlsruhe (Mannfred Hennhöfer) and Munich (Dr Fuchs), the Academy of Arts (Akademie der Künste) and the State Library (and especially its map division) in Berlin, the Herder Institute in Marburg, the German Literature-Archive in the Schiller 7 Schouten, Frederik Steven Louis (2008), Ernst Toller: An Intellectual Youth Biography, 1893-1918 European University Institute DOI: 10.2870/14249 National Museum in Marbach am Necker, as well as the Documentary Center of Contemporary Jews (CDEC) and the State University (Università Statale degli Studi) in Milan. For other reasons, I thank Anna Jędraszczak, Toralf, Hanna and Marta Kleinsorge, Hans Verbeek and Just Schimmelpenninck, Davide Ghezzi, Arnout Mertens, Roch Hannecart, Paolo Merante, Rengenier and Nelienke Rittersma, Alessandro Chieffi, Dianne van der Spoel, Marijke Ophorst, Roberto Perissin, Arnoud Verhage, Irene van Arum, Wouter Kromkamp, Liesbeth van de Bosch, Francesca Parenti, Rita Peero, Kathy Fabiani-Wolf, and Sergio Amadei. I also thank my family, including Theo and Ellen Terlouw, who showed great commitment and understanding these last years, as well as my aunt, Marianne Schouten, and my late uncle, Guiseppe Catalini. But most of all I thank my wife, Anouk Terlouw, for her immense support and patience during the last years. It is to her, and with immense gratitude, that I dedicate this study. Finally, I thank Sara and Matteo, our two children, for being there, especially at this moment when years of research, for the present, find an end by presentating this thesis. 8 Schouten, Frederik Steven Louis (2008), Ernst Toller: An Intellectual Youth Biography, 1893-1918 European University Institute DOI: 10.2870/14249 Introduction – Aim of, and Approach to, an Intellectual Youth Biography Träumen wir nicht von einer Gemeinschaft, die sich nicht mehr in den minderwertigen kämpfen der Politik zerreibt, ja, die vom Berufspolitiker als gesellschaftlichem Typus befreit ist? Von einer Gemeinschaft, die ohne Hunger und ohne Angst, dem edlen Glück, dem edlen Leid lebt? - ERNST TOLLER, Der Deutsche Hinkemann. Why write another Study of Ernst Toller? Today few people have heard of the German playwright of Jewish descent, Ernst Toller (1893-1939). Yet he was well-known as a playwright and a public figure in Germany and beyond, especially during the 1920s. As a writer, his success equalled, if not surpassed that of many contemporary writers, whose names nowadays are often better known, including Georg Kaiser (1878-1945) and Bertold Brecht (1898-1956). In 1939 the literary critic and expert on Expressionist literature, Kurt Pinthus (1886- 1975), spoke of Toller as being the “most successful dramatist of the Expressionist generation in Germany”. In fact, his work was translated during his lifetime in twenty- seven languages and staged in a variety of countries, ranging from Germany to Russia, and from Japan to the United States. His autobiography, Eine Jugend in Deutschland (1933), somewhat misleadingly translated in English as I was a German (instead of “A Youth in Germany”), appeared in Italian, Dutch and Chinese.1 Perhaps 1 On the number of languages, see: Kurt Pinthus, “Life and Death of Ernst Toller” in: Books Abroad, XIV (1939) 3; on the fact that his success surpassed that of Carl Sternheim (), Kaiser and Brecht, see also: John M.

  • A Contribution to the Identification of the Pseudonyms Used in the Minutes and Reports of the Communist International*
    VILEM KAHAN A CONTRIBUTION TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE PSEUDONYMS USED IN THE MINUTES AND REPORTS OF THE COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL* The historian who studies the history of the Comintern has to rely mainly on printed sources. For this purpose the published minutes and reports of the seven Congresses of the Comintern (1919-35) and the thirteen plenary sessions of its Executive Committee (1922-33) are of particular interest. The use of these minutes and reports is rendered difficult by the fact that a number of the participants did not act under their real name, respectively under the assumed one they made use of permanently, but under pseudo- nyms. The pseudonyms that were used over a long period cause hardly any problem (e.g., the pseudonym Karski, which was used by Julian Marchlewski already from the 1890's). These pseudonyms are generally known. Little is known, however, about those chosen ad hoc. Up to now no systematic attempt has been made to decipher them. The results of my research, summarized in the following list, show that such an attempt certainly is not hopeless. The list contains all the pseudo- nyms occurring in the minutes and reports that I have been able to identify. I have confined my study to the pseudonyms of persons who spoke or were elected on a commission; so I have not taken into account the pseudonyms that occur only on the lists of participants. In general, I have made use of the German version; for the 9th ECCI plenum the report in English was consulted, for the 1 lth, 12th and 13th plenary sessions the Russian version of the minutes was used.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. Thefollowing explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page ($)''. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. Whan an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that die photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You w ill find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections w ith a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Otto Neurath As a Political Writer (1919–1932)
    Chapter 4 Science and Socialism: Otto Neurath as a Political Writer (1919–1932) Günther Sandner Abstract In the case of Otto Neurath, there was always a close relationship between science and politics. It is worth noting, however, that he also intervened in politics of the day. The essay focuses on Neurath’s time in Revolutionary Bavaria and Red Vienna and analyzes his articles in two newspapers in the interwar period: the German periodical Economy and Order of Life (a supplement of the Art Guardian) and the Austrian socialist daily Workers’ Newspaper. The examination starts when Neurath definitely became a socialist and member of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) after the war in Germany and ends shortly before his forced migration from Austria in 1934. The two series of articles differed in some respects. While in Economy and Order of Life Neurath focused only socialization, he addressed a number of different topics in the Arbeiter-Zeitung (AZ – Workers’ Newspaper) rang- ing from guild socialism over housing, architecture and settlement to education and the scientific world-conception. The question of his role and his self-image was a common theme in many of these articles. Beyond that, however, there were even approaches to closely related themes that he developed more precisely only in his later life: the question of experts, citizens, and democracy. 4.1 Intellectual Interventions into Politics As most readers of this book would probably agree, Otto Neurath was the most effective political character among the Viennese philosophers of Logical Empiricism. Although there was a politicized left wing within the Vienna Circle (Carnap 1963; Uebel 2005), which included Rudolf Carnap, Philipp Frank, Hans Hahn and – at its periphery – Edgar Zilsel, even among these, nobody ever played a role in politics comparable to that of Otto Neurath.
