Apart from our usual update on recent accessions, we publish a brief summary of Turaj Atabaki’s talk on the Institute’s activities in Iran, Turkey, and Central Asia. We also pay attention to the exhi- bition Together and Apart, which was featured at the Drents Museum in Assen from November 17, 2012 to June 9, 2013. It was part of Work, Income and the State in Russia and the Soviet Union, 1900-2000, a project funded by the Friends and supervised by the exhibition’s curator, Gijs Kessler. Members of the Friends of the iish pay annual dues of 100 or 500 euros or join with a lifetime donation of 1,500 euros or more. In return, members are invited to semi-annual sessions featuring presentations of iish acquisitions and guest speakers. These guest speakers deliver lectures on their field of research, which need not be related to the iish collection. The presentation and lecture are followed by a recep- tion. In addition to these semi-annual gatherings, all Colophon Friends receive a 40 per cent discount on iish publica- tions. Friends paying dues of 500 euros or more are also entitled to choose Institute publications from a broad selection offered at no charge. The board con- sults the Friends about allocation of the revenues from the dues and delivers an annual financial report in conjunction with the iish administration. The iish was founded by master collector N.W. Post- Cruquiusweg 31 humus (1880-1960) in the 1930s. For the past two P.O.

Among the fi rst collections to be processed are the papers of Karl Kautsky (1854-1938), long the leading theoretician of Marxism. Inevitably, Kautsky became the centre of a vast network of enfant terrible, he was sent to a boarding school Karl and Luise socialist and left-leaning intellectuals in Europe in Vienna, from which he was returned home by Kautsky and beyond, as demonstrated by the number and the police in 1915 after allegedly having defaced variety of his correspondents, and – as noted by a wall with the slogan Vive la France!

This is the case of the message written by Valeriu Marcu (1899-1942) on a card that must have accompanied one of his books on its way to luise Kautsky, Karl’s wife, in Vienna. Marcu explains that in his youth he read “only Kautsky” and was his “purely orthodox pupil” (“Liebe Frau Kautsky, Sende Ihnen eins meiner letzten Bücher. Wurde mich sehr freuen, wenn es Herr Kautsky durchblättert. Ich habe jahrelang nur Kautsky gelesen. War in meiner Jugend rein orthodoxer Schüler. Wann kommen Sie nach Berlin? Mit bestem Gruß V.M.”). The card’s back has a note by Marcu’s wife, Eva Ger- son, seconding the invitation to come to Berlin (“Daß Sie nach Berlin kommen, halte ich auch für sehr richtig. 1000 Grüße Ihre Eva”).

  • Otto Kirchheimer and Carl Schmitt After 1945.” Redescriptions: Political Thought, Conceptual History and Feminist Theory 24(1): 4–26
    REDESCRIPTIONS Buchstein, Hubertus. 2021. “The Godfather of Left-Schmittianism? Political Thought, Conceptual History and Feminist Theory Otto Kirchheimer and Carl Schmitt after 1945.” Redescriptions: Political Thought, Conceptual History and Feminist Theory 24(1): 4–26. DOI: https://doi.org/10.33134/rds.320 RESEARCH The Godfather of Left-Schmittianism? Otto Kirchheimer and Carl Schmitt after 1945 Hubertus Buchstein Greifswald University, DE [email protected] In the vast secondary literature on Carl Schmitt as well as on the Frankfurt School, the political and legal thinker Otto Kirchheimer is described as a forerunner of contemporary Left-Schmittianism. This view is sometimes expanded in the litera- ture to the personal relationship between Schmitt and Kirchheimer after 1945 as well. A closer look at Kirchheimer’s late work, at his unpublished correspondence with Schmitt, and at additional unpublished sources contradicts such an interpre- tation. In fact, Kirchheimer strongly attacked Schmittianism in German debates on constitutional theory after 1945. This article finally uncovers the extent to which Schmitt tried to instrumentalize his former doctoral student to pursue his political rehabilitation in the Federal Republic via the United States. Kirchheimer, however, took a firm stand against this attempt. In his defense of modern parliamentary democracy, Kirchheimer definitely sided with the political left of his times; but he did so without any flirtation with Schmittianism. Keywords: Otto Kirchheimer; Carl Schmitt; Left-Schmittianism; antisemitism; West German political and legal thought I. Introduction: Against Some Legends The work of Carl Schmitt (1888–1985) has become a point of reference for a growing number of contemporary political theorists on the left.

  • Mahnkopf.Change Everything
    Institute for International Political Economy Berlin Everything Must Change, so that the World Can Remain the Same: In Memory of the Life and Work of Elmar Altvater Author: Birgit Mahnkopf Working Paper, No. 123/2019 Editors: Sigrid Betzelt, Eckhard Hein (lead editor), Martina Metzger, Jennifer Pedussel Wu, Martina Sproll, Christina Teipen, Achim Truger, Markus Wissen, Reingard Zimmer Everything Must Change, so that the World Can Remain the Same: In Memory of the Life and Work of Elmar Altvater* Birgit Mahnkopf Retired Professor of European Politics, Berlin School of Economics and Law, Institute for International Political Economy (IPE) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Elmar Altvater was a renowned political economist and professor at the Otto-Suhr-Institute of Freie Universität Berlin from 1970 until 2006. Until his death in 2018 he was a point of reference for several generations of students, left-wing academics and politicians, trade union activists, representatives of civil society organizations in Germany, across Europe and in Latin America. He became one of the few academics in Germany who based the analysis of contemporary economic and political developments on a critical reading of Marxian approaches to understand the historical cycles of growth, recession and crisis in modern capitalism. The following text attempts to sketch some elements of a remarkable leftist intellectual history of the Federal Republic of Germany through the prism of Elmar Altvater while referring to some of the political initiatives Elmar Altvater was involved in and touching on some of the most important topics he has dealt with: the causes and consequences of the numerous debt crisis; the role of neoliberalism which emerged in the course of crisis of world finance since the late 1970s; the impact of “finanzialization” on social cohesion and politics at national, European and international level and, most importantly, his attempt to analyze the degradation of nature as the “price of progress” – on the basis of an ecologically expanded critique of political economy.

  • Being a Mar Xist
    WOLFGANG FRITZ HAUG BEING A MAR XIST WOLFGANG FRITZ HAUG This article first appeared in German in the Historisch- kritisches Wörterbuch des Marxismus (HKWM), Vol. 8/II, under the keyword “Marxistsein/Marxistinsein”. More information can be found at www.hkwm.de. The Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung reprinted the German version of the article under the title “Marxist*insein”. More can be found at www.rosalux.de/publikationen. BEING A MARXIST Active subjects move into focus with “bM”, the object of this article. The political thus appears in the personal. It is not bare conditions that are Marxist, but people. The ethical dimension of their action and their forbearance comes into the field of vision. Objectivism finds itself restricted to their conditions. To give an idea of historical situation and generational affinities, the Marxists cited in this article who came of age in the 130 years after Marx’s death will be introduced with their birth years. The way they expressed the characteristics of their specific forms of existence is the material. The same thing can be said of this which has been said of how Wolfgang Heise (b. 1925) approached the ideas collected in his library: that through them he “could fully make present, at the very least as foreign thinking, even those ideas which are not overtly conveyable, which perhaps cannot even be conceived of in one’s own words” (Reschke 1999, 16). Precisely for this reason, and in the expectation of uncomfortable truths, “renegades” too are carefully listened to. Innumerable people have considered themselves Marxists. At the high point of the revolutionary struggles of the twentieth century they counted in the millions.

A description of recently acquired archives and collections as well as major accruals to archives received by the IISH will be published annually to keep this survey up to date. Like the GIA this supplement is subdivided into the categories ‘persons’, ‘organizations’ and ‘subjects’, arranged alphabetically. As to the summaries the following components can be discerned: 1. Access: As a rule consultation is not restricted; any restrictions are indicated by * 2. Name: Names of persons include dates of birth and death when known. In the case of international organizations with names in more than one language, the name chosen corresponds to the language in which most of the documents were written. Among organizations that have changed their names, the one used most recently has been selected. Previous names of organizations are mentioned in the condensed biography or history. The names of subject collections are mostly in English. 3. Period: First and last date of the documents present. Where only a few documents are from a certain year or period, they are listed between parentheses. 4. Size: In linear metres. 5. Finding aid: Available inventories, lists, and indexes. 6. Biography/history: A condensed biography or history of the persons or organizations concerned. 7. Summary of the contents: A summary of the contents of the archives, papers, or collection concerned.
