  • Eugenics, Biopolitics, and the Challenge of the Techno-Human Condition
    Nathan VAN CAMP Redesigning Life The emerging development of genetic enhancement technologies has recently become the focus of a public and philosophical debate between proponents and opponents of a liberal eugenics – that is, the use of Eugenics, Biopolitics, and the Challenge these technologies without any overall direction or governmental control. Inspired by Foucault’s, Agamben’s of the Techno-Human Condition and Esposito’s writings about biopower and biopolitics, Life Redesigning the author sees both positions as equally problematic, as both presuppose the existence of a stable, autonomous subject capable of making decisions concerning the future of human nature, while in the age of genetic technology the nature of this subjectivity shall be less an origin than an effect of such decisions. Bringing together a biopolitical critique of the way this controversial issue has been dealt with in liberal moral and political philosophy with a philosophical analysis of the nature of and the relation between life, politics, and technology, the author sets out to outline the contours of a more responsible engagement with genetic technologies based on the idea that technology is an intrinsic condition of humanity. Nathan VAN CAMP Nathan VAN Philosophy Philosophy Nathan Van Camp is postdoctoral researcher at the University of Antwerp, Belgium. He focuses on continental philosophy, political theory, biopolitics, and critical theory. & Politics ISBN 978-2-87574-281-0 Philosophie & Politique 27 www.peterlang.com P.I.E.

  • Nurses and Midwives in Nazi Germany
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 03:18 04 October 2016 Nurses and Midwives in Nazi Germany This book is about the ethics of nursing and midwifery, and how these were abrogated during the Nazi era. Nurses and midwives actively killed their patients, many of whom were disabled children and infants and patients with mental (and other) illnesses or intellectual disabilities. The book gives the facts as well as theoretical perspectives as a lens through which these crimes can be viewed. It also provides a way to teach this history to nursing and midwifery students, and, for the first time, explains the role of one of the world’s most historically prominent midwifery leaders in the Nazi crimes.

  • And Other Targeted Minorities in the Third Reich Week 2 Unit Learning Ou
    WEEK 2 Prewar Persecution of “Enemies of the State” and Other Targeted Minorities in the Third Reich Prepared by Tony Joel and Mathew Turner Week 2 Unit Learning Outcomes ULO 1. evaluate in a reflective and critical manner the consequences of racism and prejudice ULO 3. synthesise core historiographical debates on how and why the Holocaust occurred Introduction This learning module is divided into a series of seven mostly short sections all of which are linked by the common theme of German victim groups who were ostracised and persecuted by their own government when living under Nazism. We start this week by examining the Nazi concept of supposed “Aryan” superiority and the creation of a national socialist “people’s community” or what the Nazis termed their ideal Volksgemeinschaft. Section 2 explores theories of Nazi “racial hygiene” and eugenics, which provided a pseudoscientific framework for Nazi racial theories including the identification of “undesirables” (Jews and others) who were classified as not belonging to the Volksgemeinschaft. Section 3 (the lengthiest this week) investigates the persecution of Jews living in the Third Reich, particularly in the prewar period 1933-39 but also up to 1941. Section 4 considers how German Jews responded to this persecution, both “officially” and privately. Section 5 outlines the Nazi system of concentration camps, used to intimidate and imprison political opponents and other individuals considered to be “enemies of the state.” The section reinforces the important point that, although they were included among the targets, Jews were by no means the main priority during the prewar period. Section 6 looks at the Nazi program of forced sterilisation introduced as early as July 1933, which provided Nazi doctors with the legal means to carry out the sterilisation of individuals who, according to racial “science,” threatened the purity of the “Aryan race.” Sterilisation victims included Germans with hereditary illnesses, mental illnesses, or perceived physical and intellectual disabilities.

  • O Porrajmos: the Romani Holocaust Ian Hancock
    | 1 Zagreb May 2013 O Porrajmos: The Romani Holocaust Ian Hancock To understand why Hitler sought to eradicate the Romanies, a people who presented no problem numerically, politically, militarily or economically, one must interpret the underlying rationale of the holocaust as being his attempt to create a superior Germanic population, a Master Race, by eliminating what he viewed as genetic pollutants in the Nordic gene pool, and why he believed that Romanies constituted such contamination. The holocaust itself was the implementation of his Final Solution, the genocidal program intended to accomplish this vision of ethnic cleansing. Just two “racial” populations defined by what they were born were thus targeted: the Jews and the Romanies1. The very inventor of the term, Raphael Lemkin, referred to the genocide of the “gypsies” even before the Second World War was over2. It is also essential to place the holocaust of the Romanies3 in its historical context. For perhaps most Romanies today it lacks the special place it holds for Jews, being seen as just one more hate-motivated crisis—albeit an overwhelmingly terrible one—in their overall European experience. Others refuse to speak about it because of its association with death and misfortune, or to testify or accept reparation for the same reason. The first German anti-Romani law was issued in 1416 when they were accused of being foreign spies, carriers of the plague, and traitors to Christendom; In 1500 Maximilian I ordered all to be out of Germany by Easter; Ferdinand I enforced expulsion

When Science Meets Evil: Nazi Medicine and Eugenics Nazi medicine and the Holocaust have always been intriguing subjects to me. Even though they are filled with evil and corruption, I have always been interested in trying to understand the mentality of the killers involved. This research project has allowed me to learn about the history of the eugenics movement and the key factors involved in its popularity in Germany. While some followers truly believed in the idea of racial cleansing, others were more enticed by the power, money and fame that came along with the positions involved with the movement. Citizens were willing to give up their opinions and freedoms in return for a more stable country instead of the disintegrating pieces left after World War I. I have particularly found the physician’s behaviors to be especially captivating.

  • [Note: This Is the Accepted Manuscript of Ville Suuronen “The Rise of The
    [Note: This is the accepted manuscript of Ville Suuronen “The Rise of the Homme Machine: Carl Schmitt’s Critique of Biotechnology and Utopias,” published in Political Theory. Final published version available at https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0090591719890831] Ville Suuronen, University of Helsinki The Rise of the Homme Machine: Carl Schmitt’s Critique of Biotechnology and Utopias 1. Introduction In a series of diary-entries from the 1920s Carl Schmitt paints a striking picture about the immense biotechnological revolution of the future. This revolution that becomes possible with “the receding of natural limits” will alter not only the human condition but also the human organism itself. With the “technical completion” of modernity and with the “fanaticism of immanence” that describes this era, Schmitt envisions the development of “a machine born as a human being” (Menschgeborene Maschine): “Ultimately, a miserable shred of the human being (elender Fetzen von Mensch) clings to the wonderful machine.”1 However, Schmitt’s very interesting remarks concerning biotechnology remain largely undeveloped throughout the Weimar era,2 and this theme is missing entirely from his Nazi-era works. Perhaps it is only the devastating technological destruction of World War II that brings Schmitt’s focus back to this issue. Be as it may, in his Glossarium, a kind of “thought diary” that Schmitt kept from 1947 to 1958, Schmitt suddenly begins to address the “burning question concerning the meaning (Sinn) of modern technology and the machine”3 in a very detailed fashion. This essay argues that Schmitt’s postwar works, especially his Glossarium, develop an original and thus far neglected account of biotechnology and that this account opens a new way of reading Schmitt’s postwar thought.4 Despite the popularity of Schmitt’s writings in recent decades5 his postwar thought has often been interpreted in reductive terms.

    the quest for racial purity: Germans with Mental and Physical Disabilities, African Germans, and Roma rom the moment that hitler took power in germany, he began implementing his vision for a new Germany—one that elevated “Aryan” Germans to the top of the Nazis’ racial hierarchy and that ranked all other groups along a spectrum of relative inferiority. Nazi leaders wasted no time conceiving and adopting measures that would safeguard the “Aryan” German race, thereby ensuring that future genera- tions would be—in their eyes—racially pure, genetically healthy, and socially productive and loyal to the state. This goal meant, above all, stigmatizing, discriminating against, and ultimately killing those whom the Nazis identified as being biologically and racially flawed. In such a context, especially Jews (see chapter 5), but also Roma (Gypsies), people with mental and physical disabilities, and African Germans, faced direct and immediate danger at the hands of the Nazis. In time, the Nazi decision to go to war would advance those long-term goals in pre- viously unimaginable ways. Territorial acquisition went hand in hand with population engineering as the Nazis sought to increase the number of “Aryan” Germans while simul- taneously thinning the ranks of those they considered inferior by virtue of race or biology. The state of national emergency created by the war would eventually provide the pretext and cover for increasingly radical steps. Nazi racial persecution was unique, for there was no escape—not even for those who were German by birth—from the harsh verdict of inferiority. For those who were targeted, national loyalty or communal solidarity were of no consequence: only “Aryans” who met the racial and biological standards of the Nazis could claim membership in the National Community (Volksgemeinschaft).
