In this respect we also ask our friends to help us think p o s t e r about how to make these collections available. We would like to invite our readers to devote ( 1 9 3 8 ) , special attention to these sections of On the Waterfront 14. Depending on the reactions (to be s e e p a g e 1 3 sent to Titia van der Werf: [email protected]), friends and other interested parties will be able to be directly involved. Members of the Friends of the iish pay annual dues of one or five hundred euros or join with a lifetime donation of one thousand five hundred euro 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 does not necessarily concern the iish collection. The presentation and lecture are followed by a reception. In addition to these semi-annual gatherings, all Friends receive a forty-percent discount on iish publications. Friends paying dues INTERNAT of five hundred euros or more are also entitled to choose Institute publications from a broad I selection offered at no charge.

I argue that the emergence of the category of abstract art in the 1920s is grounded in a voluntaristic impulse to remake the world. I argue that the consolidation of abstract art as a movement emerged out of the Parisian reception of a new Soviet art practice that contained a political impetus that was subsequently obscured as this moment passed. The occultation of this historical context laid the groundwork for the postwar “multiplication” of the meanings of abstraction, and the later tendency to associate its early programmatic aspirations with a more apolitical mysticism. Abstraction has a long and varied history as both a conceptual-aesthetic practice and as an ideal.

Tommaso Milani A thesis submitted to the Department of International History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, September 2017. 1 DECLARATION I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgment is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 99,843 words. 2 ABSTRACT The thesis discusses the trajectory of the Belgian socialist thinker and activist Hendrik de Man (1885-1953) between 1914 and 1936 ca, with particular attention to his endeavours to renew Western European social democracy after the Great War. The first half of the thesis deals with de Man’s theoretical evolution. Having become convinced of the inadequacy of orthodox Marxism as a conceptual framework for the Left while serving as soldier and diplomat during WWI, de Man sought to overcome the split between reformism and revolutionary socialism by developing an ethical conception of socialism outlined in the book Zur Psychologie des Sozialismus (1926) and, subsequently, by elaborating planism, a democratic socialist ideology supposedly more in tune with the socio-economic conditions of the 1930s.

    Anti-Semitism in Europe Before the Holocaust

    This page intentionally left blank P1: FpQ CY257/Brustein-FM 0 52177308 3 July 1, 2003 5:15 Roots of Hate On the eve of the Holocaust, antipathy toward Europe’s Jews reached epidemic proportions. Jews fleeing Nazi Germany’s increasingly anti- Semitic measures encountered closed doors everywhere they turned. Why had enmity toward European Jewry reached such extreme heights? How did the levels of anti-Semitism in the 1930s compare to those of earlier decades? Did anti-Semitism vary in content and intensity across societies? For example, were Germans more anti-Semitic than their European neighbors, and, if so, why? How does anti-Semitism differ from other forms of religious, racial, and ethnic prejudice? In pursuit of answers to these questions, William I. Brustein offers the first truly systematic comparative and empirical examination of anti-Semitism in Europe before the Holocaust. Brustein proposes that European anti-Semitism flowed from religious, racial, economic, and po- litical roots, which became enflamed by economic distress, rising Jewish immigration, and socialist success. To support his arguments, Brustein draws upon a careful and extensive examination of the annual volumes of the American Jewish Year Book and more than forty years of newspaper reportage from Europe’s major dailies. The findings of this informative book offer a fresh perspective on the roots of society’s longest hatred. William I. Brustein is Professor of Sociology, Political Science, and His- tory and the director of the University Center for International Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. His previous books include The Logic of Evil (1996) and The Social Origins of Political Regionalism (1988).

Cohn, Chairperson Ken K. Ito Yung-Hee Kim Nobuko M. Ochner Lonny E. Carlile ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to express gratitude to the members of my committee, past and present, for their help in the completion of this dissertation: Chairperson Joel Cohn, Ken Ito, Yung-Hee Kim, Nobuko Ochner, Lonny Carlile, and Arthur Thornhill. I would also like to thank the Korea Foundation, the Center for Japanese Studies at the University of Hawaii, Tokiko Bazzell, Patricia Polansky, Scott Kramer, Hanae Kurihara Kramer, Suk Lee, Robert Huey, Andre Haag, Evelyn Nakanishi, Lois Agena, Coleen Sekigawa, Audris Wataoka, and my family for their love and support. Finally, I would like to thank my wife, Kyoungwon, who stood by me throughout my time in graduate school, and my son Julian, who served (and continues to serve) as a constant reminder that there is more to life than a dissertation. ii ABSTRACT The Clarté movement was an international writers’ association founded in France after the Great War, which had as its goal the rallying of the intellectual elite of the world in order to prevent further war. The movement had branches in countries from Western Europe to East Asia. Scholars have examined the transfer of the movement to and within East Asia, but have not considered the underlying ideological mechanisms that enabled this transfer.

    The Decline of the French Communist Party: the Party Education System As a Brake to Change 1945-90 Thesis Submitted to Universit

    The Decline of the French Communist Party: the Party Education System as a brake to change 1945-90 Thesis submitted to University of Portsmouth for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Maija Sinikka Kivisaari July 2000 THE DECLINE OF THE FRENCH COMMUNIST PARTY: THE PARTY EDUCATION SYSTEM AS A BRAKE TO CHANGE 1945-90 Marja Kivisaari The decline of the French Communist Party (PCF) was a key feature in French politics in the 1980s, one which was analysed in a number of scholarly studies. These focused on the four established contributory causes, i.e. the transformation of socio-economic structures in France since the late 1960s; institutional factors (presidentialism and bipolarisation); the rise of the French Socialist Party since 1974; and the sharp deterioration of the Soviet image in French public opinion. Although these studies were also in unanimous agreement that, to a large extent, the party leadership with its orthodox regime and intransigent practices must bear responsibility for the Party’s failure to adapt, they failed to offer any explanation and analysis of the reasons or mechanisms behind the leadership’s motives and behaviour and therefore gave an incomplete picture of tire decline. The novelty of the approach adopted in this study is that, whilst not denying the importance of the other contributory factors, it focuses primarily on elements which enabled the party leadership to sustain its immobilism in the face of changes which were taking place in the Party’s social, institutional, political and international environment. Thus, by focusing on the internal dynamics of the PCF, this investigation shows how, by the skilful utilisation of the Party s organisational principle of democratic centralism, and by the methodical use of its political training system, the leadership ensured the availability of ideologically sound cadres who would perpetuate the conservative outlook of their superiors.

    Bibliography

    BIbLIoGRAPHY There is a rich collection of ‘Jules Guesde Papers’ at Amsterdam’s International Institute of Social History (IISG). It features an abundance of correspondence, press cuttings, manuscripts, and documents from Guesde’s election campaigns or connected to his parliamentary activity. This is the most important archival collection for research on Guesde. Since late 2015 the full set of documents has been digitised. The IISG is also brimming with personal collections for socialist leaders from Guesde’s era; the most important include those of Wilhelm Liebknecht, Karl Kautsky and, indeed, Bracke—collections which we have our- selves worked through. Another part of Guesde’s correspondence was long in the possession of Jean-­ Marie Guesde. Unfortunately, we were unable to find any trace of this collec- tion, despite our best efforts. Gabriel Deville’s archive at the Institut Français d’Histoire Sociale (now at the Archives Nationales) and the Maurice Dommanget collection also include some interesting pointers. OTHER USEFuL CoLLEcTIoNS INcLuDE – The recently rediscovered Paul Lafargue papers at the PCF’s archives (Archives Départementales de Seine-Saint-Denis, Bobigny) – The Marcel Sembat papers contain an interesting critical manuscript on the Guesdists (Office Universitaire de recherches socialistes, OURS) The OURS conserves not only a very rich set of pamphlets from Guesde’s era, but also further collections on Guesde allowing for the study of his legacy (notably the documents on the Amis de Guesde in the René Hug papers). © The Author(s) 2020 199 J.-N.

As the Third International (Comintern) provided the theory and much of the organizational support for this task, it is also a study of the Comintern’s changing policies towards revolution in colonial countries. It has grown out of research in the Moscow archives of the Comintern, which first became available to researchers in late 1991-1992. It also makes extensive use of the French colonial archives at the Centre d’Archives d’Outre-Mer in Aix-en-Provence. This study begins with Nguyen Ai Quoc’s appearance in Paris in 1919, when he lobbied the Paris Peace Conference for greater Vietnamese freedom and was then drawn into the political world of the French left.
