  • Dictatorship in History and Theory: Bonapartism, Caesarism, and Totalitarianism

    Christof Mauch, David Lazar et al.BOOKDictatorship in History and Theory2004

    A distinguished group of historians and political theorists examine the complex relationship between nineteenth-century democracy, nationalism, and authoritarianism, paying especial attention to the careers of Napoleon I and III, and of Bismarck. An important contribution of the book is to consider not only the momentous episodes of coup d'etat, revolution, and imperial foundation which the Napoleonic era heralded, but also the contested politica…

  • Identity and Intolerance: Nationalism, Racism, and Xenophobia in Germany and the United States

    Open AccessChristof Mauch, David Lazar et al.BOOKIdentity and Intolerance1998

    In a world of increasingly heterogeneous societies, matters of identity politics and the links between collective identities and national, racial, or ethnic intolerance have assumed dramatic significance - and have stimulated an enormous body of research and literature which rarely transcends the limitations of a national perspective, however, and thus reproduces the limitations of its own topic. Comparative attempts are rare, if not altogether a…

  • Institutions of Confinement: Hospitals, Asylums, and Prisons in Western Europe and North America, 1500–1950

    Open AccessChristof Mauch, David Lazar et al.BOOKInstitutions of Confinement1997

    A major interdisciplinary study of the development of prisons, hospitals and insane asylums in America and Europe, this book resulted from discussions between its two editors about their work on the history of hospitals, poor relief, deviance, and crime, and a subsequent conference held in 1992 by the German Historical Institute that attempted to assess the impacts of Foucault and Elias. Seventeen contributors from six different countries with ba…

  • Forced Migration and Scientific Change: Emigré German-Speaking Scientists and Scholars after 1933

    Open AccessChristof Mauch, David Lazar et al.BOOKForced Migration and Scientific…1996

    The dismissal of civil servants on racist or political grounds in April 1933 marked the beginning of a massive, forced exodus of mainly Jewish scholars and scientists from Nazi Germany - a phenomenon unprecedented in the modern history of academic life. The essays in this volume examine whether that 'exodus of reason' lead to significant scientific change, and if so, how that change should be characterised. The volume challenges the focus of earl…

  • Competing Economic Ideologies in South Africa's Economic Debate

    David LazarARTICLEBritish Journal of Sociology1996Cited by: 7References: 2

    This paper develops an analytical framework for the sociological analysis of the clash of economic ideologies. The framework is then used to make sense of the economic debate in South Africa in the l990s. The argument is that, following Karl Polanyi, we must treat economic life as 'embedded' in social life; that is, economic action is a form of social action. However, the notion of 'embeddedness' must not blind us to the tendency in all economies…

  • In and out of the Ghetto: Jewish-Gentile Relations in Late Medieval and Early Modern Germany

    Open AccessChristof Mauch, R Po‐chia Hsia et al.BOOKIn and Out of the Ghetto1995

    During the 1920s much attention was paid to the history of Jews in Germany since the Enlightenment and the subject became popular again, with renewed emphasis, after 1945. Many historians were deeply committed to understanding and explaining the tragic path that led from the emancipation of the Jews to the Holocaust. For a long time, much less work was done on the history of Jews in Germany in earlier periods, particularly the period between the …

  • Weber's Protestant Ethic: Origins, Evidence, Contexts

    Open AccessHenri Lehmann, Christof Mauch et al.BOOKWeber's Protestant Ethic1993Cited by: 14

    The historical relationship between Protestantism, capitalism, and democracy remains one of the most controversial intellectual themes of out time. Max Weber's famous thesis about the link between the 'Protestant ethic' and the 'spirit of capitalism' and its dissolution in his own era has been both widely acclaimed and heatedly disputed since its publication in 1904–5. This volume, the result of an international, interdisciplinary effort, throws …

  • Genoa, Rapallo, and European Reconstruction in 1922

    Open AccessChristof Mauch, David Lazar et al.BOOKGenoa, Rapallo, and European…1991

    One of the largest twentieth-century summit meetings, the Genoa Conference of 1922, was a notable failure, due to the gulf between the Allies and Germany, between the West and Soviet Russia, and among the World War I victors and their small allies. This book, a unique international collaboration, presents various perspectives on the Genoa Conference: its leadership, goals, and outcome. The authors present new findings on such questions as the sen…

  • Sociological Dilemmas: Toward a Dialectic Paradigm

    David Lazar, Piotr SztompkaARTICLEBritish Journal of Sociology1982

  • Coming of Age in Anthropology

    David LazarARTICLEPracticing Anthropology1981

    I must confess that I am not completely familiar with the full range of activities carried out by the anthropologists who work for or with the Latin American/Caribbean (LAC) Bureau. My view of the anthropologist's role, however, is that of an inspector standing toward the end of a meat processing line stamping "kosher" on the rump steak section of each carcass as it moves down the line. (Not to carry the analogy too far, the physical placement of…
