  • Historisk Samling Fra Besættelsestiden
    Historisk Samling fra Besættelsestiden Arkivregistrant Denne registrant er en vejviser til arkivet på Historisk Samling fra Besættelsestiden. Arkivet indeholder et bredt materiale fra og om modstandsbevægelsen – fra illegale blade over Frihedsrådets proklamationer til beretninger fra modstandsfolk landet over. Desuden omfatter arkivet fx britisk propagandamateriale, rapporter og skrivelser fra danske myndigheder, materiale fra de politiske partier, tysk og dansk-nazistisk propaganda, kopier af sager fra retsopgøret samt forsknings- og personarkiver. Dele af materialet er kun groft registreret, og den store samling af illegalt materiale venter stadig på en gennembearbejdning og er kun nævnt i hovedtræk i denne arkivregistrant. En stor del af arkivalierne er indsamlet af tidligere modstandsmand og seminarierektor Palle Schmidt. Men indsamlingen er fortsat efter hans død i 1991, og HSB modtager hvert år – og med glæde – fra hele landet nyt materiale fra og om besættelsestiden. Således vil registranten løbende blive opdateret. Opbygning Arkivregistranten er bygget op om hovedgrupperne 01-60 med tilhørende undergrupper. Opdelingen i hovedgrupper er kronologisk/tematisk, suppleret af forsknings- og personarkiverne (Grupperne 50 og 60). Gruppeinddelingen kan ses umiddelbart nedenfor denne indledning. Med visse ændringer og tilføjelser følger opbygningen registranten for dokumentsamlingen på Frihedsmuseet i København – helt fra HSB’s grundlæggelse under Palle Schmidt har denne registrant udgjort et vigtigt ordningsinstrument på HSB. Søgning Det er en god ide at begynde med at gennemse gruppeinddelingen nedenfor. På den måde kan man orientere sig om arkivets opbygning. Derefter kan man gå direkte til de hoved- og undergrupper i selve arkivregistranten, man interesserer sig for. Vær opmærksom på, at der er overlap i mellem en del arkivgrupper.

  • Eugenics As a Science and As a Social Movement 135
    Social Movements in the Nordic Countries since 1900 133 David Redvaldsen links: David Redvaldsen rechts: Eugenics as a Science and as a Social Eugenics as a Science Movement and as a Social Movement The Cases of Denmark and Norway 1900–1950 Abstract The article compares Danish and Norwegian eugenics in the first half of the twentieth century. It especially investigates sterilisation and racism, both of which are associated with the doctrine. However, it argues that the laws of 1929, 1934 and 1935 allowing steri- lisation in Denmark were accepted as means to combat sexual offences. The comparative method supports such a contention, as the Norwegian sterilisation law of 1934 is found to have developed along parallel lines. Neither country had a functioning eugenics soci- ety. Therefore the doctrine was the provenance of scientists and other experts. Popular- isation attempts met resistance from specialists. Eugenics could nevertheless be applied to debates about criminality or race. Similarities between the Danish and Norwegian versions outweighed differences. But in Denmark there was a greater focus on the per- nicious societal effects of “feeblemindedness” than in Norway. Conversely, Norwegian eugenics was more racist than Danish. Introduction From its inception, the system of thought known as eugenics had a dual nature: it was both a field of scientific endeavour and an ideology.1 Francis Galton (1822–1911), its British originator, advocated eugenics being brought into the national consciousness as a new religion. He also conducted careful statistical investigations underpinning racial improvement as a science. The doctrine was global in its reach, as exemplified by the 1912 International Congress of Eugenics held in London and its follow-up in 1921 in New York.

  • Allied Relations and Negotiations with Spain A
    Allied Relations and Negotiations With Spain A. From Spanish "Non-Belligerency" to Spanish Neutrality1 Shortly after the outbreak of the War in September 1939, Spanish dictator General Francisco Franco released an official decree of neutrality in the conflict, despite his open ideological affinity with the Axis leaders who had provided him with critical support in the Spanish Civil War. Nevertheless, he hovered on the brink of intervention on the side of the Axis through much of 1940 and 1941, and even contributed a force of Spanish volunteers estimated to be as many as 40,000, known as the Blue Division, which served as the German 250th Division on the Russian Front from mid-1941 until October 1943. The possibility of Spanish belligerency was premised on an early German victory over Britain and on German agreement to Spanish territorial expansion in Africa into French Morocco and perhaps even in Europe at the expense its neighbors, Vichy France and neutral Portugal. The United States and Britain joined in a continuing effort to keep Franco's Spain out of the War by providing essential exports like gasoline and grain to prop up the Spanish economy, which had been in a state of collapse since the end of the Spanish Civil War. The close ideological and political ties between the Franco dictatorship and those of Germany and Italy were never misapprehended by the United States and Britain. After 1941 Spain drifted gradually from imminent belligerency toward a demonstratively pro-Axis neutrality. Spain cooperated with the Allies in humanitarian efforts, allowing safe passage through Spain of downed Allied fliers, escaped Allied prisoners, and civilian refugees, including Jews.2 The nature of Spain's neutrality in World War II turned in significant measure on Allied and Spanish perceptions of the danger of German invasion.

  • Social Movement Participation and Social Protests in Georgia
    UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI MILANO Graduate School in Social and Political Sciences Dipartimento Scienze Sociali e Politiche Corso di Dottorato di ricerca in Sociologia-XXVI ciclo Social Movement Participation and Social Protests in Georgia A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PH.D) IN SOCIOLOGY By: Nino Zhghenti Supervisor: Paola Rebughini Abstract There is a long-lasting debate on reasons and causes of social movement participation. Scholars suggest different explanations from the perspective of one or another theory. However, the theoretical and empirical fact is that there is a dearth of sociological literature on systematic, integrated approach covering multiple factors from different levels of movement participation. To address this problem and contribute to the multifactored approach, the objective of this paper is to develop a Model of movement participation, which is based on and derived from the theoretical and empirical analysis. The Model is developed which further is examined in case study of Georgian social protests. In this way the generated and further developed Model is not only analyzed in context of the corresponding literature but also examined in a practical setting. Due to novelty of the study, qualitative approach has been applied. Overall, research proved theoretical and empirical application of the two Models. The first one is a General Model where external and internal factors are given in hierarchy. As for the second Model, it is a continuation of the General Model. Specifically, it focuses on one of the stages of the General Model – framing process. The later is the major focus of the paper.

We must be ready for that moment; before it comes is when the diplomatic arrangements must be made, before it that the peoples of Europe must be educated, that we must plant in their minds the basic ideas that will make it possible to restore democratic institutions, the hope that a constructive programme for European reorganisation will bring them property and peace, and the conviction that they will only find such solutions in action through international cooperation. In so doing we will have contributed to the groundwork thanks to which we may, by reasserting our faith in democracy and the hope of a better world, eliminate the greatest dangers besetting European reconstruction and peace, namely the belief that by affirming nationalism and national sovereignty in all its political and economic forms, the anxieties of the peoples can be allayed and the problems of the future settled.

  • A Rhetorical Criticism of the Danish Government's Justification of Cooperation, March – August 1943
    THE LEGITIMATION OF COOPERATION: A RHETORICAL CRITICISM OF THE DANISH GOVERNMENT'S JUSTIFICATION OF COOPERATION, MARCH – AUGUST 1943 BY FLEMMING SCHNEIDER RHODE A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Communication August 2011 Winston-Salem, North Carolina Approved By: Allan Louden, Ph.D., Advisor John Llewellyn, Ph.D., Chair Thomas Mullen, Ph.D. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people who have made this project possible. First and foremost I am indebted to the seasoned academic veterans on my committee who all helped to keep me grounded and focused without ever stifling my own interest or aims. To my adviser Dr. Allan Louden I would like to give special thanks. Dr. Louden is above all a great human, and it his humanity that has made him a sought-after person for advice and direction. Witnessing Dr. Louden take considerable time and effort to settle an insignificant junior varsity policy debate my sophomore year made me understand why he is held in such high regard. Beneath the humble exterior lies a razor sharp mind and a kind soul who makes all feel welcome and appreciated. For my project, the patience and insightful questions afforded helped me keep going and ask myself the essential questions I had never thought of. Long after much else is forgotten, I will remember Dr. Louden and his canine companion convincing me that there is a place for someone like me at Wake Forest and the academic community.
