Österreich zählt
In seinem im Oktoberheft 2024 der Vierteljahrshefte für Zeitgeschichte erschienenen Aufsatz „Waren Österreicher unter nationalsozialistischen Tätern überrepräsentiert? Versuch einer Synthese“ behauptete Kurt Bauer, dass keine Überrepräsentation der von ihm als Österreicher Erfassten unter nationalsozialistischen Tätern feststellbar sei. Deshalb sei die Täterthese zurückzuweisen, die nach Jahrzehnten der Dominanz der Opferthese, also des Mythos vo…

The Political Economy of the Frankfurt School
The paper presents the findings of two recent books on the financial history of the Frankfurt School: Jeanette Erazo-Heufelder, Der argentinische Krösus: Kleine Wirtschaftsgeschichte der Frankfurter Schule, 2017, and Bertus Mulder, Sophie Louisa Kwaak und das Kapital der Unternehmerfamilie Weil. Ein Beitrag zur Wirtschaftsgeschichte der Frankfurter Schule, 2021 (Dutch original 2015). In contrast to the "court histories" of the school, the two aut…
Lazarsfeld’s wives, or
The paper compares the lives of three female social scientists born in the first two decades of the twentieth century and belonging to the first generations that had the opportunity not only to study at universities, but also to realistically consider a professional career in academia. Marie Jahoda, Herta Herzog and Patricia L. Kendall made their ways separately and interacted only rarely with each other, but shared at least one characteristic wh…

Shaping Human Science Disciplines
Marienthal
"One of the main theses of the Marienthal study was that prolonged unemployment leads to a state of apathy in which the victims do not utilize any longer even the few opportunities left to them. The vicious cycle between reduced opportunities and reduced level of aspiration has remained the focus of all subsequent discussions." So begin the opening remarks to the English-language edition of what has become a major classic in the literature of soc…
Scholars as European public intellectuals? Media interventions in the 2014 European Parliament election campaign
This paper presents results from a collaborative research project investigating European scholars from the social sciences and humanities (SSH) who acted as public intellectuals during the 2014 European Parliament (EP) election campaign. We analyze op-ed contributions published in 21 broadsheet newspapers and in 9 EU member states, written by 195 authors who contributed 262 articles. The result is a portrait of European SSH scholars acting as pub…

Für eine soziologische Geschichte der Soziologie
Die Entwicklung der Soziologie wird (mit den bereits vorhandenen soziologischen Mitteln) unter Beachtung der Annahme, die Entwicklung der Theorien sei von Faktoren beeinflusst, die in der "Vergesellschaftung ihrer Mitglieder ihren Ursprung haben", analysiert. Ziel ist es, eine soziologische Geschichtsschreibung der Soziologie (SGS) auf einige Inhalte festzulegen. Diese Geschichtsschreibung unterscheidet sich von der traditionellen, in der selten …
Etablierung in der Fremde
Long description: Nach 1933 wurden zahllose Akademiker vertrieben, die gezwungen waren, im Exil beruflich wieder Fuß zu fassen. Berühmte wie Unbekannte waren dabei auf Hilfe von Einheimischen angewiesen. Neben Fallstudien deutschsprachiger Sozialwissenschaftler – Gustav Ichheiser, Paul F. Lazarsfeld, Joseph A. Schumpeter und Edgar Zilsel – analysiert Christian Fleck auch die Arbeit und Wirkung der in London und New York errichteten Flüchtlingshil…

A Transatlantic History of the Social Sciences
From the beginning of the twentieth century, scientific and social scientific research has been characterised by intellectual exchange between Europe and the US. The establishment of the Third Reich ensured that, from the German speaking world, at least, this became a one-way traffic. In this book Christian Fleck explores the invention of empirical social research, which by 1950 had become the binding norm of international scholarship, and he ana…

Lewis A. Coser-A Stranger within More Than One Gate
This article presents a short portrait of Lewis A. Coser (1913-2003), the American sociologist who became renowned as one of the founders of 'conflict sociology'. Born in Berlin, Coser had to leave his homeland for political reasons and he spent the years before Nazi Germany's invasion of France in Paris. Coser then fled to the United States and started his academic career there at the College of the University of Chicago. An abridged version of …
The Impact Factor Fetishism
One of the most popular indicators is the Impact Factor. This paper examines the coming into being of this highly influential figure. It is the offspring of Eugene Garfield's experimentation with the huge amounts of data available at his Institute for Scientific Information and the result of a number of attempts to find appropriate measurements for the success ("impact") of articles and journals. The completely inductive procedure was initially a…

Sociology and Communism
In this introduction we provide a brief overview over the various periods of the sociological engagement with communism. We argue that the relationship has often been an uneasy, in some cases even a highly questionable one. However, on occasion the discipline also produced some decent research on the subject of communism. We conclude that it is still a long way to a proper sociology of communism worthy of the name

"Rund um "Marienthal
A Marginal Discipline in the Making
"This paper aims to trace the development of the main strands of sociological thought in Austria, to present characteristic research conducted by Austrian sociologists and to provide an answer to the question which European schools have influenced sociology in Austria and, if this is found to be the case, which Austrian ideas have possibly prevaded European sociology."

Aus Österreich emigrierte Sozialwissenschaftler. Überblick und Stand der Forschung
The article presents an general view over the enforced migration of Austrian social scientists after 1933. The author argues that the Austrian case is a specific one: first in consequence of the two successive dictatorships, second because of the devastating consequences of the emigration movement for the Austrian scientific community and culture. Only a few of the refugees returned to Austria after 1945. Further could be demonstrated that the Au…
Forced Migration and Scientific Change
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…
Bruno Bettelheim and the concentration camps
The paper analyzes the circumstances under which Bruno Bettelheim's (1903–1990) well-known paper, “Individual and Mass Behavior in Extreme Situations” (1943) came to be written and discusses its central arguments. The authors compare Bettelheim's analysis of the Nazi concentration camps with the interpretations of other authors, particularly those who had experienced the camps themselves, and identify areas of divergence. They also note the later…

Karl Mannheim im Mahlstrom
Ich will dem Thema „Karl Mannheims Beitrag zur Analyse moderner Gesellschaften“ möglichst gerecht werden und diskutiere daher im folgenden die Frage, ob die Vorlesung von 1930 methodisch und sachlich einen derartigen Beitrag darstellt. Ich beginne bei Mannheims Gegenwartsaufgaben der Soziologie, um in Erinnerung zu rufen, für welchen soziologischen Unterricht er plädierte. Danach erörterte ich einige Bedingungen, die erfüllt sein müssen, damit ei…
Auf der Suche nach Anomalien, Devianz und Anomie in der Soziologie
Der Verfasser arbeitet eine Reihe von Kriterien heraus, anhand derer sich das Phänomen "Devianz in der Soziologie" operationalisieren lassen könnte: (1) Akzeptanz eines Wissenschaftlers als zur Disziplin der Soziologie gehörig; (2) mangelnde Eignung internationaler Foren als Institutionen der Zuschreibung von Devianz; (3) Schwierigkeiten in der Anwendung der von Ethik-Kommissionen gesetzten Normen. Vor diesem Hintergrund fragt der Verfasser, an w…

No Brains, No Initiative, No Collaboration' - The Austrian Case
Established formally in 1950, the Austrian Society of Sociology did not really exist during its first decade, though at the end of the 1950s one man entered the International Sociological Association under the guise of the Austrian Society of Sociology. In the middle of the 1960s, when the government began a reform of the university system, sociology was established as a full programme and the Society was resuscitated. At the end of the 1960s, th…

Die Soziologie und ihr Publikum
Soziologen sind selten einer Meinung, doch darüber, dass ihre Disziplin in einigen Punkten anders ist als all die anderen, darüber wäre wohl ein Konsens herstellbar. Worin genau nun die Besonderheiten der Soziologie bestehen und wie sie, sollte es mehr als eine sein, zu reihen sind, darüber gingen die Ansichten vermutlich bereits auseinander. Ein Kandidat mit Aussicht auf weitestgehende Zustimmung sind die Außenbeziehungen. Unter diesen hat es de…
