  • Some Analytical Implications of the Statutory Construction of Genocide

    Open Access•Morton G Wenger•ARTICLE•Critical Sociology•1997

    The explicit legal definition of 'genocide' as a 'crime' derived specifically from the conditions of the Holocaust. Despite the conjuncturally bound nature of the concept, the ideological basis for the definition rested in a model of 'genocide' as an historically ubiquitous and perpetually imminent possibility in human affairs. The tension between the immediate political ends of the concept's legal architects and the desire to use the criminaliza…

  • Idealism Redux: The Class-Historical Truth of Postmodernism

    Open Access•Morton G Wenger•ARTICLE•Critical Sociology•1994•Cited by: 3•References: 5

    This paper argues that postmodernism represents a contemporary manifestation of a long-standing political despair among Western intellectuals. It shows commonality with various 'power-conflict' perspectives of the past, as well as associated connections with well-known theses of 'post-industrialism.' The strength of postmodernism partly rests on its identification of several gaps in Marxist historical theory. In the end, however, the fundamental …

  • Decoding postmodernism: The despair of the intellectuals and the twilight of the future

    Open Access•Morton G Wenger•ARTICLE•The Social Science Journal•1991•Cited by: 1•References: 1

    This article distinguishes postmodernisin from antimodernism for the purpose of examining the politics of postmodernism. It argues that postmodernism is, in part, a metaphor for despair, and especially intellectual despair. The critical and revolutionary intellectual tradition established by Marx and carried on by neo-Marxists is considered to be doomed from a postmodern perspective. As a result, intellectuals are in an iron cage of despair; and …

  • The Ideology of Virginity

    David G Berger, Morton G Wenger•ARTICLE•Journal of Marriage and the Family•1973•Cited by: 4

    Virginity is most often treated as a commonly agreed-upon given in the literature on sexuality. Here the concept is seen to be a variable one, assigned different meanings in different social contexts. The concept of virginity is also placed in a larger, macrosocial framework incorporating elements of a broad sexual ideology. Data supporting these positions are presented as well as evidence pertaining to the lack of differential adherence to relev…
