  • Der Umgang Des Schweizerischen Sozialarchivs Mit Rechtsextremem Material
    C. Koller LIBREAS. Library Ideas, 35 (2019). 1 Weder Zensur noch Propaganda: Der Umgang des Schweizerischen Sozialarchivs mit rechtsextremem Material Christian Koller Kurzfassung: Das Schweizerische Sozialarchiv hat eine lange Tradition der Samm- lung rechtsextremen Materials. Der Artikel skizziert Umfang und Schwerpunkte die- ser Sammlung und diskutiert Erwerbungsstrategien und Benutzungsbedingungen im Lichte der Frage, ob Bibliotheken solche Literatur „neutral“ behandeln oder we- gen politischer Kontaminationsgefahr aus ihren Beständen fernhalten sollen. Abstract: The Swiss Social Archives have a long tradition of collecting far-right mate- rial. This article considers extent and contents of this collection and discusses acqui- sition strategies and terms of use in view of the question whether libraries ought to treat such material „neutrally“ or should rather exclude them to prevent spreading anti-democratic ideas. Einleitung Im Sommer 2017 war das Buch Finis Germania bei amazon.de wochenlang auf Platz 1 der Best- sellerliste. Das im neurechten Antaios-Verlag publizierte Werk des zuletzt an der Universität St. Gallen tätigen deutschen Historikers Rolf Peter Sieferle gab bei der Veröffentlichung nach dessen Suizid sowohl wegen des von Kritikern als rechtsextrem und antidemokratisch ein- gestuften Inhalts zu reden als auch wegen Kontroversen um seine Präsenz in verschiedenen Sachbuchlisten. Weniger Diskussionen verursachte die (Nicht-)Erwerbung des Bestsellers durch wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken. Vom schweizerischen Nebis-Verbund, dem mit rund 130 ange- schlossenen Institutionen (darunter mehrere der größten wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken) be- deutendsten Bibliotheksnetzwerk des Landes, fand das Buch einzig Eingang in den Bestand des Schweizerischen Sozialarchivs in Zürich. Dies, obwohl Sieferles frühere Werke von einer ganzen Reihe von Bibliotheken erworben worden waren. Diese Beobachtung führt zur Frage, inwiefern das Schweizerische Sozialarchiv mit extremis- tischer Literatur einen speziellen Umgang pflegt.

  • EUROPEANIZATION AS STRATEGY Disciplinary Shifts in Switzerland and the Formation of European Ethnology
    © Museum Tusculanum Press 2015 :: University of Copenhagen :: www.mtp.dk :: [email protected] EUROPEANIZATION AS STRATEGY Disciplinary Shifts in Switzerland and the Formation of European Ethnology Konrad J. Kuhn This paper examines the epistemological and institutional activities in the field of Volkskunde/ folklore studies in Switzerland leading to the discipline’s reformation as “European ethnology”. Drawing on archival materials, the article takes Arnold Niederer (1914–1998) as a starting point by showing how Niederer, his networks and research contexts were involved in the formation of the loose alliance of interests that were subsequently institutionalized. This paper traces the new perception of the discipline “European ethnology” as it draws on early transnational contacts of Swiss Folklore Studies in order to overcome the crisis in which Volkskunde found itself in the 1960s. Europeanization and an orientation toward the present were strategies to stabilize the academic discipline but also to establish the discipline in the public sphere. Keywords: European ethnology, Volkskunde/folklore studies, history of knowledge, disciplinary historiography, Switzerland European ethnology has never been a coherent, con- cross-cultural interests were present already well be- clusive discipline but has rather been a loose network fore the institutionalization of the corresponding re- of interests, topics and collaborations.

  • Islamophobia Studies Journal
    ISLAMOPHOBIA STUDIES JOURNAL Volume 2 • Issue 1• Spring 2014 2 ISJ 2(1) About the ISJ The Islamophobia Studies Journal is a bi-annual publication that focuses on the critical analysis of Islamophobia and its multiple manifestations in our contemporary moment. ISJ is an interdisciplinary and multi-lingual academic journal that encourages submissions that theorizes the historical, political, economic, and cultural phenomenon of Islamophobia in relation to the construction, representation, and articulation of “Otherness.” The ISJ is an open scholarly exchange, exploring new approaches, methodologies, and contemporary issues. The ISJ encourages submissions that closely interrogate the ideological, discursive, and epistemological frameworks employed in processes of “Otherness” – the complex social, political, economic, gender, sexual, and religious forces that are intimately linked in the historical production of the modern world from the dominance of the colonial/imperial north to the post-colonial south. At the heart of ISJ is an intellectual and collaborative project between scholars, researchers, and community agencies to recast the production of knowledge about Islamophobia away from a dehumanizing and subordinating framework to an emancipatory and liberatory one for all peoples in this far- reaching and unfolding domestic and global process. 3 Advisory Board Hishaam Aidi Members School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University, Global Fellow at the Open Society Foundation.

Tepfenhart: Right-wing Extremists in Europe Comparative Civilizations Review 57 Right-wing Extremists in Europe Mariana Tepfenhart [email protected] Throughout world history, times of rapid change have stirred up antagonisms and paranoid views of either immigrants or minorities. We are witnessing the same phenomenon in Europe today -- the latest of which spurred a Norwegian to commit mass murder in the name of his beliefs. In the last 20 years, Europe has witnessed a surge in right-wing extremism. This trend is connected to the political dissatisfaction and loss of trust in government by a growing percentage of the population of European Union. These radical groups demand a strong but small government; they are in favor of strong nationalism and homogeneity, and express strong hostility towards asylum seekers and illegal immigrants. These groups oppose cultural pluralism and giving equal weight to the desires of the minority over the majority. This trend is stronger in the northern parts of Western Europe like Austria, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, and Germany, but it is not limited to the West.
