He is a philosopher of everyday life. His fabric of thought and language weaves together a diversity of strands: high theory; dreams and political visions; the anxiety and torments of that statistical unit of humanity, the little man or woman; astute criti- cism – sharp as a razor and merciless to boot – of the world’s powerful; and a sociological analysis of their tiresome ideas, their vanity, their unbridled quest for attention and popularity, and their insensitivity and self-deception. Little wonder: Bauman’s sociology is above all a sociology of the imagination, of feelings, of human relations – love, friendship, despair, indifference, insensitivity – and of intimate experience. Moving easily from one discourse to another has become a signal feature of his thinking. He is perhaps the world’s only sociologist (and Bauman is one of that field’s living greats, along with Anthony Giddens and Ulrich Beck) and one of the world’s great thinkers simpliciter (along with Umberto Eco, Giorgio Agamben, Michel Serres, Jürgen Habermas) who not only actively uses the language of high theory but agilely jumps from this language to that of advertising, commercials, SMS messages, the mantras of motivation speakers and business gurus, clichés, and Facebook comments; then comes back again to the language (and themes) of social theory, modern literature, and classics of philosophy. F Bauman_&_Donskis–Moral Blindness BDBIN.indd 1 8/1/2012 9:02:48 AM 2 Introduction His is a sociology aiming to reconstruct all layers of reality and to make its universal language accessible to all types of reader, not just the academic specialist. Its discursive power and ability to decipher reality performs that function of philosophy that André Glucksmann likens to the title cards in silent movies, cards that help both to construct and to reveal the reality depicted. Bauman is an admitted methodological eclecticist: empathy and sensitivity are much more important to him than methodo- logical or theoretical purity. Determined to walk the tightrope across the abyss separating high theory and TV reality shows, philosophy and political speeches, and religious thought and com- mercials, he understands well how comically isolated and one- sided he would appear if he tried to explain our world in the words of its political and financial elite or using only hermetical and esoteric academic texts. He learned his theory and was most influenced, first, by Antonio Gramsci and later largely by Georg Simmel – not so much by his theory of conflict as his conception of the mental life (Geistesleben) and his Lebensphilosophie. It was this phi- losophy of life of the Germans – again, not so much Friedrich Nietzsche’s as Ludwig Klages’ and Eduard Spranger’s (particularly his conception of the Lebensformen) – that supplied Bauman with many of his theoretical themes and forms of theorizing. It is enough recall Simmel’s essay Die Grosstädte und das Geistesleben (The metropolis and mental life, 1903): this later found an echo in Thomas Mann’s essay Lübeck als geistige Leb- ensform (Lübeck as a spiritual way of life, 1926); still later, in Lithuanian letters, it turned into Tomas Venclova and Czesław Miłosz’s epistolary dialogue Vilnius kaip dvasinio gyvenimo forma (Vilnius as a spiritual way life, 1978). A city becomes a form of life and thought, something in which history, architecture, music, the plastic arts, power, memory, exchanges, encounters between people and ideas, dissonances, finances, politics, books, and creeds all speak out – a space where the modern world is born and also acquires its forms for its future. This motif permeates many of Bauman’s later works. On the map of Bauman’s thought we find not only the philo- sophical and sociological ideas of Gramsci and Simmel but also the ethical insights of his beloved philosopher Emmanuel Levinas, F born and raised in Kaunas and also, according to Bauman, the Bauman_&_Donskis–Moral Blindness Bauman_&_Donskis–Moral Blindness BDBIN.indd 2 8/1/2012 9:02:48 AM Introduction 3 greatest ethicist of the twentieth century. Levinas’s insights concern the miracle of recognizing the Other’s personality and dignity even to the point of saving his life – without at the same time being able to explain the cause of this recognition, since such an expla- nation would destroy this miracle of morality and of the ethical tie. Bauman’s books refer not only to these and other modern thinkers but to theologians, religious thinkers, and works of fiction as well, with the latter especially playing an important role in his creativity. Just like the Polish sociologist Jerzy Szacki, Bauman was heavily if not decisively influenced by Stanisław Ossowski, his professor at the University of Warsaw. In receiving, from the king of Spain, the Prince of Asturias Award for notable achievements in the humanities, Bauman in his speech recalled what Ossowski had taught him first and foremost: namely, that sociology belongs to the humanities. Bauman then went on to say that sociology is an account of human experience – just as a novel is. And the greatest novel of all time is, he acknowledged, Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quixote. If Vytautas Kavolis held sociology and the social sciences in general to be ‘a field bereft of melody’, then Bauman is a counter- example to this: his sociology not only emits sounds but also looks you straight in the eye. This gaze is an ethical one: you can’t turn away your eyes and fail to reply, because unlike a psychologically exploring look or one that absorbs (consumes) objects in its envi- ronment, the Baumanian look incorporates the principle of an ethical mirror. What comes back to you are all your activities, your language, and everything you said or did without thinking but only safely imitating: all your unreflected upon but silently endorsed evil. Bauman’s theoretical sensitivity and empathy may be likened to a way of speaking, an attitude that eliminates the prior asym- metry between the looker and the looked at. It’s like Jan Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, overwhelming us by unexpectedly giving back to us our own gaze and leaving us voicelessly won- dering: who is looking at whom? We at her, hanging along with many other immortal masterpieces of Dutch art at the Mauritshuis gallery in The Hague, or she at us? The gazed-at gazes at the gazer, thereby returning to the world all the forgotten dialogue. It is a dignified and silent gaze between equals – instead of that F Bauman_&_Donskis–Moral Blindness Bauman_&_Donskis–Moral Blindness BDBIN.indd 3 8/1/2012 9:02:48 AM 4 Introduction boundless consuming, using, knowing, and aggressively indoctri- nating that we get back in the guise of an alleged dialogue.

  • Building Bridges Thoughts About the Other Russia
    Andrei Sakharov Research Center Vytautas Magnus University Building Bridges Thoughts about the other Russia Second Leonidas Donskis Memorial Conference With Vyacheslav Bakhmin, Yevgeni Gindilis, Mikhail Shishkin and Andrew Wood Conference report Organizers Introduction Robert van Voren For more than forty years I have been involved in Soviet – and Russian – affairs and gradually I started to understand the subject of my interest a bit more. But part of that is that I understand there is no way you can understand Russia. You need to stop thinking logically because there is no logic. You need to learn to feel it, you love it and you hate it, and that combination is shared by many if not most Russians themselves. The difference however is that, for a Russian, it is acceptable to make fun of his country, to an extent that many other nationals would not about their homeland. Self-mockery is exceptionally well developed in Russia. But as a foreigner you are always an outsider, and you have to watch your tongue because any critical remark can have a serious backlash. Best is to laugh along when Russians make fun of themselves. So gradually, when I was hiring staff for my foundation, I would carefully listen to their views. If they would start telling me extensively how much they loved Russia, its culture, its people, the hospitality, without anything else, they would not be hired. The moment they would start telling me that they had this morbid conflicting feeling inside of loving and hating the country, a combination of two extremes, I knew I had a good candidate in front of me.

Starring Hitler! Adolf Hitler as the Main Character in Twentieth-First Century French Fiction Abstract Adolf Hitler has remained a prominent figure in popular culture, often portrayed as either the personification of evil or as an object of comedic ridicule. Although Hitler has never belonged solely to history books, testimonials, or documentaries, he has recently received a great deal of attention in French literary fiction. This article reviews three recent French novels by established authors: La part de l’autre (The Alternate Hypothesis) by Emmanuel Schmitt, Lui (Him) by Patrick Besson and La jeunesse mélancolique et très désabusée d’Adolf Hitler (Adolf Hitler’s Depressed and Very Disillusioned Youth) by Michel Folco; all of which belong to the Twenty-First Century French literary trend of focusing on Second World War perpetrators instead of their victims.

Cummins Adviser: Professor Steven M. Cahn In the argumentative dialectic between moral realists and non-cognitivist moral antirealists each side in the debate is typically thought to enjoy a different prima facie advantage over its rival. Moral realism gains plausibility from its truth-conditional semantics because it can explain the meaning of moral judgments on the same basis as ordinary propositions.

A re-reading of the manifesto allows us to interrogate the supplementary logic (in Derrida’s term) between Francophone literatures and French literature through analyzing the controversies around the manifesto and some French literary awards of the last decade. This reconstruction allows us to examine the possibilities and limits of the notions of Francophonie and world-literature in French. Finally, this overall critical approach is demonstrated in the analysis of Atiq Rahimi’s novel Syngué sabour. Pierre de patience. Keywords || French Literature | Francophonie | Transnational Literatures | Atiq Rahimi 215 The manifesto “Pour une littérature-monde en français” appeared in the respected French newspaper Le monde des livres in March NOTES 1 2007.

The final version of record is available only from the publishers, Taylor and Francis: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23256249.2017.1395530 The Extraordinary Recent History of Holocaust Studies in Lithuania Dovid Katz Department of Philosophy and Cultural Studies, Faculty of Creative Industries, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Vilnius, Lithuania ABSTRACT KEYWORDS The paper argues that the recent history of Holocaust Studies in Holocaust in Lithuania; Lithuania is characterized by major provision (for research, Prague Declaration (2008); teaching and publishing) coming from state-sponsored agencies, Green House (Vilnius); particularly a state commission on both Nazi and Soviet crimes. Double Genocide Problematically, the commission is itself simultaneously active in revising the narrative per se of the Holocaust, principally according to the ‘Double Genocide’ theories of the 2008 Prague Declaration that insists on ‘equalization’ of Nazi and Soviet crimes. Lithuanian agencies have played a disproportionate role in that declaration, in attempts at legislating some of its components in the European Parliament and other EU bodies, and ‘export’ of the revisionist model to the West. Much international support for solid independent Lithuanian Holocaust researchers and NGOs was cut off as the state commission set out determinedly to dominate the field, which is perceived to have increasing political implications in East-West politics. But this history must not obscure an impressive list of local accomplishments.

Wśród nich znajdują się na przykład równość i solidarność1. Kreują one obraz egalitarnego społeczeństwa2. Zyg- munt Ziembiński podkreśla jednak, że sprawiedliwość społeczna rozumiana jako urzeczywistnienie społecznej równości lub solidarności nie jest w ogóle odmianą sprawiedliwości, ale odrębną od niej ideą3.
