  • Rudolf Slansky: His Trials and Trial
    COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER #50 Rudolf Slansky: His Trials and Trial By Igor Lukes THE COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER SERIES CHRISTIAN F. OSTERMANN, Series Editor This paper is one of a series of Working Papers published by the Cold War International History Project of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. Established in 1991 by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Cold War International History Project (CWIHP) disseminates new information and perspectives on the history of the Cold War as it emerges from previously inaccessible sources on “the other side” of the post-World War II superpower rivalry. The project supports the full and prompt release of historical materials by governments on all sides of the Cold War, and seeks to accelerate the process of integrating new sources, materials and perspectives from the former “Communist bloc” with the historiography of the Cold War which has been written over the past few decades largely by Western scholars reliant on Western archival sources. It also seeks to transcend barriers of language, geography, and regional specialization to create new links among scholars interested in Cold War history. Among the activities undertaken by the project to promote this aim are a periodic BULLETIN to disseminate new findings, views, and activities pertaining to Cold War history; a fellowship program for young historians from the former Communist bloc to conduct archival research and study Cold War history in the United States; international scholarly meetings, conferences, and seminars; and publications. The CWIHP Working Paper Series is designed to provide a speedy publications outlet for historians associated with the project who have gained access to newly-available archives and sources and would like to share their results.

  • From Critical Theory to Political Science: A.R.L. Gurland’S Project of Critical Political Science in Postwar Germany1
    FROM CRITICAL THEORY TO POLITICAL SCIENCE: A.R.L. GURLAND’S PROJECT OF CRITICAL POLITICAL SCIENCE IN POSTWAR GERMANY1 Hubertus Buchstein The establishment of political science in the postwar Federal Republic of Germany was for the most part an initiative of those who had re- mained at home in Germany and had resisted Hitler during the Nazi years.2 However, emigres such as Eric Voegelin, Ernst Fraenkel or Arnold Bergstraesser were soon counted among the most influential members of the new scientific community of political scientists. Lead- ing members of the Frankfurt School like Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer, and Friedrich Pollock, too, started to prepare their return to Germany after the collapse of the Nazi regime. But those among the former Institute of Social Research who had been engaged profes- sionally with US and German politics, such as Otto Kirchheimer and Franz L. Neumann, were more reluctant about returning to Germany. Instead, they stayed in exile in the US, where they became acclaimed political scientists.3 It was only their former colleague at the Institute for Social Research in New York, Arcadius R.L. Gurland (1904-1979) who immediately took the opportunity to become part of the new and growing discipline of political science in Germany after the Second World War. From the perspective of today’s historiographies, it may appear as if Gurland placed himself between two autonomous scientific fields in the 1950s - the returning Frankfurt School and the new emerging discipline of political science in Germany - and that he got lost in this 55 FROM CRITICAL THEORY TO POLITICAL SCIENCE..

NOTES Introduction 1. Lepenies named the social sciences the third culture, referring to the well-known two-culture thesis where the sciences are seen as standing in opposition to the humanities and literature (Lepenies 1985). The third culture established the social sciences as a distinct mode of knowledge and practice occupying a place in between the two traditional fields. Chapter 1 The Building of an American Empire 1. Initially in a 1935 lecture, Walz still subscribes to the German model (Walz 1936), whereas Hartshorne explicitly argues that, with respect to the institutions of American higher education, ‘descendants by far outgrew their ancestors’ after the First World War (Hartshorne 1946: 9). 2. The second edition of Webster's New International Dictionary of 1934 contains the following passage: ‘The science and art dealing with homemaking and the relation of the home to the community; theory and practice concerning the selection and preparation of food and clothing, conditions of living, the use of income, the care and training of children, etc. also the study or teaching of home economics, or an academic department concerned with this.’ 3.

Lazarsfeld and Theodor W. Adorno in the Radio Research Project was just one of those cases where émigré German- speaking social scientists got involved in some sort of cooperation after they had come to stay in the United States. In Central Europe, co-authorship of publications by German-speaking social scientists was rare in the first third of the twentieth century, and the project as a specific form of research organiza- tion was no less unusual, if not unknown. The predominant form of publica- tions was the single-author monograph, with the same pattern holding true for journal articles. The only existing forms of cooperative production were the festschrift and the proceedings of academic conferences, but even in these cases the common grounds did not extend in most instances beyond the book’s hardcover. Textbooks written by more than one author appeared only when the original author had died and the textbook was updated by one of his followers.

  • Modern Political History of the Jews Emancipation and the Making Of
    Modern Political History of the Jews Emancipation and the Making of Modern Jewish Politics, 1589-1919 History/Jewish Studies 373 (2011) 2:30-3:45 T/Th 115 Van Hise David Sorkin [email protected] office hours: T/Th, 4-5 This course, the first semester of a two-semester sequence about Jews and modern politics, will explore the ways in which the modern period reshaped the nature of Jewish politics. It will follow four themes: 1. The Jews’ internal traditions of political self- understanding and behavior, especially their relationship to political authority 2. The changing political status of Jews in Europe from 1589-1922, especially the acquisition of increased privileges under the ancien regime and equal rights or emancipation in civil society. 3. The internal politics of the Jewish community. 4. Jews’ participation in politics in the larger society, and especially their relationship to the ideologies or movements that promoted their emancipation, namely, liberalism and socialism, or opposed it, namely, Zionism and Anti-Semitism. We will explore how the modern period (circa 1589-1922) reshaped the political principles that had governed diaspora Jewish life (the “quietism” of “autonomy,” “intercession,” & the “vertical alliance” vs. revolt-rebellion and/or “messianism”). We will begin with the resettlement of Western and Central Europe and the movement of Jews into Eastern Europe (1600- 1700) that marked a new era in European Jewish life, namely, the acquisition of extensive “privileges” in estate society. This was the first phase of the prolonged process of emancipation, the Jews’ acquisition of equal civic and political rights, that took over three centuries and dominated their experience of the modern period.

  • Hanns Eisler and the FBI,” in Modernism on File: Writers, Artists, and the FBI, 1920–1950 , Ed
    Hans Eisler and the FBI JAMES WIERZBICKI To judge from the waves of scholarship and performances that marked the 1998 centennial of his birth, the composer Hanns Eisler has already attained the status of national hero in his native Germany. But in the United States, where he lived from 1937 until 1948, Eisler remains by and large a shadowy figure. 1 Musicological treatment of Eisler in the United States—indeed, in the west in general—amounts to a brush-off. When serious interest in Eisler has been expressed, typically it has centered on the handful of scores he wrote for Hollywood films and a theoretical book about film music that he co- authored with Theodor Adorno. 2 Beyond that, the standard “read” on Eisler is that he was once upon a time an adventurous musical modernist but then consigned himself to the sidelines when, in the mid-1920s, he espoused the idea that music is useless if it is directed only toward sophisticated ears. As rapidly as Eisler’s music gained in aural simplicity, it seems, so it lost status in the minds of western critics. More than a quarter-century ago British composer-musicologist David Blake, one of Eisler’s few non-German champions, concluded his Grove Dictionary article on Eisler with what amounts to an exhortation: “No composer has suffered more from the post-1945 cultural cold war. As the cross-currents between Eastern Europe and the west increase, a proper international A shorter version of this article appeared as “Sour Notes: Hanns Eisler and the FBI,” in Modernism on File: Writers, Artists, and the FBI, 1920–1950 , ed.
