  • Luft a New Commotion
    To members of the Politics and Protest Workshop, Attached is the second chapter of my dissertation. The project itself examines how French bishops during the Holocaust in France deviated from their support for Vichy to help save Jews despite the high personal and institutional costs associated with defection (http://www.alizaluft.com/dissertation.php). Chapter one explains how bishops decided to endorse the Vichy regime's anti-Semitic legislation in the first place. Chapter two, which you will read, explains how the resulting alignment between political and religious authorities in France helped legitimize the Vichy regime & its policy of "National Revolution" in a time when such legitimacy was not guaranteed. Significantly, I am attempting in this chapter to develop a Bourdieusian argument about political authority and how political legitimacy is obtained, and I would be especially grateful for your feedback on this effort. Finally, the chapter is incomplete -- I have not yet written the conclusion and am still working through some theoretical ideas, but this is why I look forward to your comments. Thank you so much!

Dr Herzl outlined to the Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church the full details of the Zionist project, providing assurances that the various Holy Places in Palestine would be “ex-territorialised” to ensure their security and protection, and sought the Pope’s endorsement and support, preferably through the issuing of a pro-Zionist encyclical.

  • 269 Louis Massignon, the Melkite Church and Islam
    ARAM, 20 (2008) 269-297. doi: 10.2143/ARAM.20.0.2033133A. O'MAHONY 269 LOUIS MASSIGNON, THE MELKITE CHURCH AND ISLAM ANTHONY O’MAHONY (Heythrop College, University of London) LOUIS MASSIGNON: ASPECTS OF HIS LIFE AND THOUGHT Louis Massignon (1883-1962) saw the relationship between Christianity and Islam through the lens of the tragic figure of the mystic al-Hallâj (857- 922).1 Al-Hallâj, who was ‘martyred’ in Baghdad for heresy, represented for Massignon a direct parallel to the suffering of Jesus on the cross.2 As Christi- anity had suffering and compassion as its foundation, so too, according to Massignon, did Islam. Indeed, he regarded suffering as fundamental to Semitic and Jewish tradition: “This brings us to a fundamental problem of Semitic, and particularly Jewish psychology, in its most ‘Kirkegaardian’ aspect: there is a hidden but divine good in suffering, and this is the mystery of anguish, the foundation of human nature”3 Massignon’s mystical Catholicism belonged to the core and essence of his being, and it informed his entire understanding of Islam. It was ‘commitment’ to the other outside his own Christian faith which made Massignon such a powerful witness. The Dominican scholar Jean-Pierre de Menasce OP states, “If the attitude of Christians towards Muslims and Is- lam (and consequentially towards all the great religions) has changed in the last forty-years, through objective understanding, through gripping the highest and most central values, through a complete respect for people and institu- tions, and all this as a result of Christian intensity and not despite it, this is a great extent owed to Louis Massignon”.4 Indeed, the explicit recasting of 1 Herbert Mason, ‘Louis Massignon et al-Hallâj’, Presence de Louis Massignon.
