Jews in Germany and the German State from 1945 to Today
This article addresses the interrelation between the state and its ethnic minorities, and the ideological labor furnished by these minorities, as it applies to postwar German Jewry. The German Jewish community of today is not organically related to German Jewry as it existed before 1933; although, to ennoble its genealogy, its representatives lay claim to that Jewish past. There is a contradiction, therefore, between attempts to connect to prewar…
Holocaust Memory or Holocaust Parody? The Tales of ‘Ernst Müller’
This is the account of the case surrounding ‘Ernst Müller’ (real name unknown, born around 1920), who insisted that he was a survivor of several concentration camps including Auschwitz. There are, however, only few details about his life that are backed up by evidence. While he had knowledge of many details regarding the Holocaust, there is no evidence relating to his life before 1952, except the Auschwitz number tattooed on his forearm. Doubts a…

Ethnos, race and nation: Werner Sombart, the Jews and classical German sociology
Bodemann addresses the problem of how classical German sociology in the early twentieth century dealt with the question of the Other, as well as with the questions of ethno-national solidarities and race. In contemporary debates the Jews constituted a central trope. Bodemann focuses in particular on Werner Sombart, one of the three central figures in sociology at the time, but he also looks at the early meetings of the German Sociological Society…

Mediation between Millstones: Werner Cahnman's Tale of an Antagonistic Jewish-Gentile Symbiosis
Halfway into this book, in a chapter on The Splendor and Misery of the Jews of Spain, Werner Cahnman observes acerbically, The catastrophe of the Jews of Spain shows with great clarity the price Jews have to pay for their role as agents of the powers that be; it can happen that they are ground between the upper and nether (p. 75). That metaphor of the Jews between the up per millstones of the rulers and attached to them, and the lower millstone o…

The case of Holocaust Education Week in Toronto
How does one explain the extraordinary success of Toronto's Holocaust Education Week (HEW), 2004, in its 23rd year? This article sketches three distinct time periods of the development of this annual event and argues that the increasingly dominant role of “survivors” and of the “second generation” in these events has played a major role in its success, as well as the involvement of women. The nature of Christian‐Jewish relations and the ways in w…

Like Everyone Else, but Different. The Paradoxical Success of Canadian Jews
Liberal democratic societies with diverse populations generally offer minorities two usually contradictory objectives: the first is equal integration and participation; the second is an opportunity, within limits, to retain their culture. Yet Canadian Jews are successfully integrated into all domains of Canadian life, while at the same time they also seem able to retain their distinct identities by blending traditional religious values and ritual…

Priests, Prophets, Jews and Germans: The political basis of Max Weber's conception of ethno-national solidarities
When we raise the question of how ethnic groups are formed, how they evolve and how they persist over time, it is here as elsewhere good practice to start by interrogating the classical contributions to sociology. Of the sociological classics, Max Weber provides unquestionably the most significant early discussions and the most explicit contribution on ethnicity. Michael Hechter (1976, 1978) has, most directly perhaps, drawn attention to Weber's …

The State in the Construction of Ethnicity and Ideological Labor: The Case of German Jewry
While there is an abundance of literature on ethnicity and ethnic group formation, the relationship of ethnicity to the state is rarely addressed. This paper discusses some classical and contemporary approaches to this question and proposes the concept of 'ideological labor': ethnic groups performing a specific ideological function within society. The case discussed here is that of postwar German Jewry. The presence of Jews in postwar West German…

Class rule as patronage: Kinship, local ruling cliques and the state in rural sardinia
It is argued here that much of the literature on patron-client relations is unsatisfactory because it tends to conceptualise the ruling classes of underdeveloped areas as individualised power brokers or 'strong men'. Instead, one must identify those specific means of production which mark the class position of patrons, and which ultimately, are the basis of their power. Clientelism therefore not only refers to the economic position of the patrons…

Ethnology and/or Cultural Anthropology in Italy: Traditions and Developments [and Comments and Reply]
The paper attempts to summarize the development of ethnology in Italy, from its early antecedents in past centuries to the present day, and its relation to other sciences of man as understood and organized in the country. Since 1870, the year in which the nation's political unification was completed, the unity of anthropological disciplines has been recognized in principe and reflected in the programs of learned societies, specialized museums, sc…

The micro-organisation of backwardness in Central Sardinia: A reappraisal of Luxemburg's 'three phases' of underdevelopment1
It is argued here that unlike theories which view underdevelopment from the 'world system' perspective, Rosa Luxemburg's critical elaboration of the concept of primitive accumulation is a key contribution to the understanding of dependency and backwardness at the local level. Luxemburg outlines three phases in the destruction of pre-capitalist formations by capitalism: the separation of the producer from the traditional bonds and hierarchies; int…

The Organicity of Classes and the Naked Proletarian. Towards a New Formulation of the Class Conception
State, Power, Socialism
Developing themes of his earlier works, Poulantzas here advances a vigorous critique of contemporary Marxist theories of the state, arguing against a general theory of the state, and identifying forms of class power crucial to socialist strategy that goes beyond the apparatus of the state. This new edition includes an introduction by Stuart Hall, which critically appraises Poulantzas' achievement
The Mind of Lewis H. Morgan [and Comments and Reply]
A careful restudy of Morgan's writings (including unpublished manuscripts) has led to several rather obvious conclusions that would be not be starling were it not for the fact that scholarly writings since Engels about Morgan's personality and thought have presented such polarized contentions. (1) Morgan was not a "functionalist"-determinist, thus neither materialist nor idealist. (2) He was neither pro- nor anti-Darwinist and never addressed him…

Familismo y patronazgo como sistemas de poder local en Cerdeña
Gran part de la literatura antropològica de l’Amèrica Llatina i del Mediterrani en particular està preocupada per la identificació de sistemes insulars de patronatge i la individualització dels agents del poder. En l’article que segueix es mostra que és més profitós concebre aquests «patrons» o «agents del poder» en el marc d’una elit local i per tant com a representants de les classes rurals altes. Per al cas de la Sardenya actual, aquesta elit …
