On the Waterfront On the Waterfront n e w s l e t t e r n o . 2 2 of the friends of the iish 2 0 1 1 on the waterfront 22 · 2011 Intro duction c o v e r : Among the many activities organized by the Institute to celebrate its 75th anniversary was the s l e e v e o f exhibition Wereldverbeteraars or Rebels with a Cause, which was featured at the Special Collec- g r a m o p h o n e tions building of the University of Amsterdam from the end of October 2010 through January r e c o r d o f 2011. It was viewed by over 65 visitors a day on average – a satisfactory result. The book accom- t h e d u t c h panying the exhibition was sent to all Friends as a New Year’s gift. Written by the editors of On c h o i r s t e m the Waterfront (and with an English version rendered by the magazine’s long-time translator), d e s v o l k s , sections must have seemed familiar to our readers: at recent Friends meetings we have from time 1975 (iish B g to time commented on some lesser-known episodes from the Institute’s history, and we intend to p g 1 / 8 6 ) continue this practice in the near future. At the same time, we would like to use the meetings as opportunities to highlight special areas of the iish collection. At the latest meeting, it was music, as illustrated in the issue before you; at the next it will be Yiddish and Jewish materials. Women’s history is on the agenda. 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 euros or more. In return, members are invited to semi- annual sessions featuring presentations of iish acquisitions and by guest speakers. These guest speakers deliver lectures on their field of research, which does not necessarily concern theiish collection. The presentation and lecture are followed by a reception. In addition to these semi-annual gatherings, all iish Friends receive a forty-percent discount on publications. Friends paying dues of five hundred euros Internat or more are also entitled to choose Institute publications from a broad selection offered at no charge. I The board consults the Friends about allocation of the revenues from the dues and delivers an annual nternat I onaal financial report in conjunction with theiish administration. The iish was founded by master collector I onal Nicolaas Posthumus (1880-1960) in the 1930s. For the past two decades, two of the institutes established I nst neha I by this ‘history entrepreneur’ have operated from the same premises: the (Netherlands Economic I nst tuut voor soc History Archive) since 1914 and the International Institute of Social History (iish), which is now 75 I tute of soc years old.

  • Primer on the 1871 Paris Commune
    PRIMER ON THE 1871 PARIS COMMUNE ON ITS 150TH ANNIVERSARY By PRISM Editors 2ND ENGLISH EDITION Part I. Historical background This primer starts with major events that shook Europe in the 19th century and set the stage for the war that broke out between France and Germany in 1870—the Franco-Prussian War. This war directly resulted in the fall of Napoleon III and the Second French Empire, and the rise of the Third Republic— which in turn triggered a rapid chain of events leading to the Paris Commune of 1871. 1. What situation brought France and Germany to war in 1870? From the 16th to the 19th centuries, great bourgeois revolutions had been shaking the foundations of the feudal order in Europe and North America. They had paved the way for the capitalist-led industrialization of major cities and entire countries, the gradual rise of the modern proletariat from the mass of peasants and artisans, and resultant class struggles and crises. Many governments in Europe, however, repeatedly faltered in democratic reforms, slid back to autocracy, and retained feudal vestiges. In France, the revolution of 1789-1799 mobilized the masses of the people, especially the peasantry, to overthrow the feudal aristocracy and monarchy and to create the first French Republic. However, this first republic was cut short by Napoleon Bonaparte’s coup d’etat. He became dictator, at first as head of the Consulate (1799-1804), then as “Emperor of the French” under the First French Empire (1804- 1815). Napoleon I’s type of politics (popularly called Bonapartism) skillfully used the various class struggles in France to perpetuate his own dictatorial rule and dynasty while also building a military-bureaucratic caste that satisfied the class interests of the old and emergent elites.

This dissertation explores the musical relationship between these two troubled countries and aims to explain the similarities and differences in their approaches to collective singing. The discussion of the very complex and problematic relationship between the German left and the Soviet government sets the framework for the analysis of music. Beginning in late 1920s, as a result of Stalin’s abandonment of the international revolutionary cause, the divergences between the policies of the Soviet government and utopian aims of the German communist party can be traced in the musical propaganda of both countries.

What was its purpose and vision? How did it manifest itself spatially and formally? These are some of the questions that this paper addresses through the historical and architectural analysis of the Soviet workers’ clubs. It looks at the complex phenomenon of the workers’ club from a number of viewpoints. Starting with the idea of club as ‘life itself’, the paper examines it as an instrument of the Proletkult and traces this radically new typology, which aimed to become both a ‘second home’ and a ‘church of a new cult’. It addresses the ideological and educational role of the workers’ club as a ‘school of communism’.

  • The Mont Pelerin Society
    A SPECIAL MEETING THE MONT PELERIN SOCIETY JANUARY 15–17, 2020 FROM THE PAST TO THE FUTURE: IDEAS AND ACTIONS FOR A FREE SOCIETY CHAPTER FOURTEEN CAPITALISM, SOCIALISM AND NATIONALISM: LESSONS FROM HISTORY NIALL FERGUSON HOOVER INSTITUTION • STANFORD UNIVERSITY 11 Capitalism, Socialism and Nationalism: Lessons from History Niall Ferguson I Joseph Schumpeter was pessimistic. ‘Can capitalism survive?’ he asked in his book Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy (1942). His answer was stark: ‘No. I do not think it can.’ He then posed and answered a second question: ‘Can socialism work? Of course it can.’1 Perhaps the Austrian-born economist’s pessimism was simply the effect of teaching at Harvard. (By temperament a conservative who was hostile to the New Deal and allergic to Keynesianism, Schumpeter gradually tired of the ‘cocoon’ on the banks of the Charles, and came very close to moving to Yale on the eve of World War II.)2 Yet Schumpeter offered four plausible reasons for believing that socialism’s prospects would be brighter than capitalism’s in the second half of the twentieth century, even if he signaled his strong preference for capitalism in his ironical discussion of socialism. First, he suggested, capitalism’s greatest strength—its propensity for ‘creative destruction’—is also a source of weakness. Disruption may be the process that clears out the obsolescent and fosters the advent of the new, but precisely for that reason it can never be universally loved. Second, capitalism itself tends towards oligopoly, not perfect competition. The more concentrated economic power becomes, the harder it is to legitimize the system, especially in America, where ‘big business’ tends to get confused with ‘monopoly.’ Third, capitalism ‘creates, educates and subsidizes a vested interest in social unrest’—namely, intellectuals.

I had been struggling to collect my thoughts; thoughts concerning what to devote my thesis to and many hours of blood, and tears. Indeed, there had been times where I felt as though I could not finish my work. Thus, discussions, laughter, and frustration have enwrapped me for two years. And now, finally, I can end six years of education, knowing I have created something that I can be proud of. So, as I lay down my virtual pen for the last time – at least for the time being – I want to extend my humblest ‘thank you’ to all of those alluring and inspiring people that have been pushing me towards my goal.

  • The Internationale Words by Eugene Pottier (1871) Music by Pierre Degeyter (1888) Piano Arrangement by Jerry Engelbach (2001)
    The Internationale Words by Eugene Pottier (1871) Music by Pierre Degeyter (1888) Piano Arrangement by Jerry Engelbach (2001) Degeyter’s original piano arrangement of The Internationale (if indeed it was by him) is harmonically tame, so I wrote this one for myself. I wanted to avoid the stodginess of other versions but keep a 19th-century classical feeling. Recordings on the Web tend to be didactic (a sin in a song about revolution) or (shudder) pseudo-folky. The best singing I have heard has been by Marxist groups at street rallies. You don’t see too many of these in the United States. The two versions in this file are in A Major and Bb Major. My chord symbols are the basic harmony and do not reflect all the changes in the arrangement. The lyrics I use are but one of many different versions available online. This is an Adobe Acrobat PDF file. The original Finale 2002 files are on Coda Music’s Finale Showcase. Just input “The Internationale” in the Search box: http://www.codamusic.com/coda/fs_home.asp. The arrangement is not under copyright and may be freely distributed. The more people who know, sing, and play The Internationale, the better. You may give out my email address (below) and I will send the PDF file to anyone requesting it. You may reprint it, post it on a Web site, or perform it at Carnegie Hall. Being subject to ordinary human vanity, I ask that you give me credit.

  • Alphonse-François Renard (1842-1903) and the Rise of Marine Geology
    W mp 'X ' sarton2010.book Page 47 Wednesday, September 29, 2010 8:10 AM The Face o f the Ocean: Alphonse-François Renard (1842-1903) and the Rise of Marine Geology Jean-Pierre Henriet Renard Centre o f Marine Geology, Faculty of Sciences, Ghent University Prof. A.-F. Renard The Report on Deep-Sea Deposits based on the specimens collected during the voyage o f H.M.S. Challenger in the years 1872 to 1876, signed by John Murray - one of the Naturalists o f the Expedition - and Rev. A.F. Renard - Professor o f Geology and Mineralogy in the University o f Ghent - was published in 1891. This report, which is considered as the founding work of marine geology, may be regarded as a team work implying three excep­ tional scientists: Sir Wyville Thomson, John Murray and Alphonse- François Renard. This paper focuses on the role of Alphonse-François Renard, who was ciuator at the Musée Royal d’Histoire Naturelle in Brus­ sels at the time of the initial contacts with the Challenger Office in Edin­ burgh. In 1888, Renard was appointed professor of geology and mineralogy at Ghent University. While several biographies have already narrated Renard’s life, a few key moments remained elusive. Some newly consulted documents, such as a set of 52 letters of Alphonse-François Renard to Sir Archibald Geikie kept at the Library of the University of Edinbiugh, confronted with archives in Brussels and available literature, shed some new light e.g. on Renard’s early discovery of the world of geological science at the Abbey of Maria Laach in the Eifel and on the chronology and circumstances of his stays in Austria and Scotland.
