February 1974Nikolai Bucharin/ Abram Deborin. Kontroversen über dialektischen und mechanistischen Materialismus
Einleitung von Oskar Negt
by Christian Riechers, Abram Deborin, Nikolai Bucharin, Georg Lukács, Antonio Gramsci, M. Mitin, J. W. Stalin, Oskar Negt
Der Band enthält wichtige Dokumente zur Geschichte der ideologischen Auseinandersetzung innerhalb der sowjetischen kommunistischen Partei, die sich nach Lenins Tod in der spektakulären Kontroverse über mechanistischen und dialektischen Materialismus zuspitzte. In dieser Kontroverse ging es, wie der Herausgeber bemerkt, nur »vordergründig um die Polarisierung der philosophischen Positionen nach Dialektikern und naturwissenschaftlichen orientierten Mechanizisten«. In seinem Einleitungsessay geht Negt dem Problem »Marxismus als Legitimationswissenschaft« nach und untersucht neben dem philosophischen Gehalt der abgedruckten Schriften auch deren politisch-ideologische Funktion. Die Texte von Deborin sind in erster Linie Aufsätze zu Problemen der Dialektik, die von Bucharin Auszüge aus seiner »Theorie des historischen Materialismus«. Kritische Bemerkungen zu dieser Theorie enthalten die Beiträge von Lukács und Gramsci.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2024Egypt and the rise of fluid authoritarianism
Political ecology, power and the crisis of legitimacy
by Maria Gloria Polimeno
Egypt and the rise of fluid authoritarianism focuses on the struggle of the post-2013 political authorities for internal political legitimacy after the crisis following the 2013 coup d'état. It explores the microstructural and macro-systemic dynamics of leadership, power, protests and the authority-making process in political systems. These cannot simply be defined as structural, political, social and economic projections of the authoritarianism of the past, but rather as a rupture with that past. The book offers a complex, ground-breaking socio-political and economic analysis into how the forging of an internal political legitimacy claim has eventually modified the regime in Egypt along the authoritarian spectrum, turning into a fluid autocracy closer to a non-exclusivist personalist regime. This shift had implications that resonated both politically and economically.

The political economy of Turkey’s integration to Europe
Uneven development and hegemony
by Elif Uzgören
This book examines Turkey's integration with Europe within structural dynamics of globalisation from a critical political economy perspective. Critical approaches have been sidelined within European Studies. Turkish enlargement is not an exemption. The analyses are based on original data generated by 109 interviews conducted in 2010, 2017 and 2023 with five categories of actors: representatives of capital and labour, political parties, state officials, and struggles around ecology, patriarchy and migration. It argues that the pro-membership was hegemonic in the 2000s which was contested by two rival class strategies, Ha-vet and neo-mercantilism. In the 2010s, pro-membership is no longer hegemonic within rising critical tone of social forces supporting rival class strategies. Unevenness of Turkey's trajectory of integration to Europe is likely to be consolidated through market integration and management of migration through transactional approach.

July 1985Was ist Neokonservatismus?
by Helmut Dubiel
Oben, auf der Mastspitze, im Ausguck sitzen die Kolumnenschreiber. Karten auf den Knien studieren sie Untiefen, Küstenlinien und Fahrtrinnen. Manchmal, wenn sie in Verlegenheit kommen, bedienen sie sich der Hilfe sozialwissenschaftlich versierter Geographen, die ihnen die fehlenden Stichworte zurufen. Die »formierte Gesellschaft« war ein solches Stickwort in den sechziger, »Unregierbarkeit« und »Wertewandel« bestimmten die siebziger Jahre. Es gibt Anzeichen dafür, daß dieses Jahrzehnt das des »Neokonservatismus« ist. Der vorliegende Essay geht davon aus, daß nicht das Wort »Neokonservatismus«, wohl aber das, was es objektiv bezeichnet, die politisch-intellektuelle Szenerie westlicher Gesellschaften noch bestimmen wird, wenn die tagespolitischen Umstände, unter denen es seine gegenwärtige Karriere antrat, längst in den Archiven der Zeitgeschichte verschwunden sind. Deshalb zeichnet er zunächst nach, wie die neokonservative sozialwissenschaftliche Intelligenz in den USA und der Bundesrepublik die zentralen politischen Diskurse »besetzt« hat. Der praktisch-politische Erfolg ihres semantischen Feldzuges in den siebziger Jahren liest sich wie eine Bestätigung von Gramscis Behauptung, daß die politische Macht der »kulturellen Hegemonie« auf dem Fuße folgt. Die ideologiepolitische Topographie wird im Licht der kritischen Theorie des Spätkapitalismus kritisiert. Anhand einer Reinterpretation der Begriffe »Kultur«, »Demokratie«, »Gleichheit«, »Wohlfahrt« und »Intelligenz« wird die These entfaltet, daß der konservative Bann über die gegenwärtige Politik nur durch eine neue Buchstabierung des Fortschritts gebrochen werden kann.

EducationSocial Justice Education for Teachers
Paulo Freire and the Possible Dream
by Torres, C. A.
Social Justice Education for Teachers: Paulo Freire and the Possible Dream is a book that will help teachers in their commitment to and praxis of an education for social justice. The book traces the reception of Freire’s ideas in the USA, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia and provides some glimpses of topical yet seminal interventions in the philosophy of education, including studies of the relationships between Freire and Rousseau, Freire and Dewey, or Freire and Gramsci. In addition it addresses how Freire's ideas could be implemented in urban education, both in the industrialized and developing world, and how the debates about globalization today need to addressed also with the politics of liberation as a possible dream. Three of the authors, Moacir Gadotti, Carlos Alberto Torres, and José Eustaquio Romão with the help of Paulo Freire, created the first Paulo Freire Institute in São Paulo, Brazil in 1991, and worked very closely with Freire for more than two decades, while the remaining scholars/activist are noted Freirean scholars and urban educators devoting their research, teaching and political activism to promote tools of conviviality and models of policy that will make this a better world, a less ugly world, a world, in the words of Freire, where it will be easier to love.

Wie die Neue Rechte Geschichte instrumentalisiert, um Deutungshoheit über unsere Zukunft zu erlangen
by Andreas Audretsch/Claudia Gatzka (Hg)
Slinking Into Power How the New Right is Instrumentalizing History to Gain Interpretational Sovereignty over Our Future The New Right’s culture war A European perspective from renowned experts Contributions from Andreas Audretsch, Claudia Gatzka, Paul Jürgensen, Jürgen Kocka, Markus Linden, Stephan Ozsváth, Hedwig Richter The New Right is striving for power within Europe. One of its strongest strategies: the instrumentalizing of history to secure its perspective in the minds of people. Myths about nations, their heroes and their struggles for independence are being leveraged to make nationalism and ethnocentric thinking socially acceptable again. What this indicates is that we need to battle for the past so that the liberal basis of our society can have a future. In Germany, the Alternative for Germany party evokes over a millenia of glorious German culture. Matteo Salvini in Italy is stylizing himself in the tradition of his country’s freedom fighters. Hungary’s Viktor Orbán wants to lead his nation back to its “historical greatness.” And even in the midst of the Corona crisis, the New Right is promoting the concept of a nationalistic renaissance as a solution. The populist illusion of “pure” homogenous societies is supposed to emerge as the future’s political consensus. This book analyzes the New Right’s strategies across Europe and also functions as a call to politicians and scholars, teachers and civil servants, to stand up to the misuse of the historical narrative.

KARL MARK – AN (IM)POSSIBLE CONVERSATION
by Nicola Spada
The economic crisis of 2008 made Karl Marx’s works highly successful. Considering the growing impoverishment of developed countries, the increase of social inequalities, the threats of war and the spreading unemployment, one wonders whether Marxism cannot be a possible alternative to the current “sprawling globalization regime”. Therefore, Nicola Spada met him and interviewed him. It wasn’t easy, at the beginning, because Marx doesn’t like to be in the spotlight. Nevertheless, after a while he seems to have already forgotten the camera and lets himself go. His words are sharp, analytical, sometimes surprising (when he dismantles his dependence on Giorgio Hegel, for example, or when he clarifies the concept of religion as “opium of the people”). In this dialogue the basis of Marxist thought are deeply analyzed; a difficult but successful work, a book everyone can read. Politics, science, ethics, theology; what would you like to ask to the father of socialism? Here you will find the answers.
