Make history great again! The emergence of a new paradigm of memory politics in International Relations
This article introduces Conspiratorial Memory (ConMem) as a new paradigm of memory politics in contemporary International Relations. Building on the research on nationally oriented heroic memory regimes of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (Nationalist Memory (NatMem)) and the victim-centered, Cosmopolitanized Memory (CosMem) culture that emerged after the Cold War, we argue that the 2020s have witnessed the rise of a hybrid formation …
Post‐National Solidarity
Solidarity is a core concept in sociology. The foundational work on solidarity was fundamentally concerned with questions of historical transformation. By contrast, postwar sociological theorizing has tended to take national solidarity as the concept's final and definitive form. This methodological nationalism is poorly suited to explaining and interpreting solidarity in a period marked by world risk. Given contemporary global social problems, it…
Cosmopolitan Connections and Immigrant Audiences
This article examines Ben Hador, a Yiddish historical operetta written and produced in 1901 by “Professor” Moyshe Hurwitz, uncovering its deep-rooted connections to the cosmopolitan European operetta tradition of the early twentieth century. Drawing from previously unexplored archival sources, we analyze Ben Hador as a quintessential exemplar of the popular Yiddish operetta, revealing its extensive incorporation of dramatic, musical, and performa…
Catastrophe
Retail pricing format and rigidity of regular prices
We study the rigidity of regular and sale prices, and how it is affected by pricing formats (i.e. pricing strategies). We use data from three large Canadian stores with different pricing formats (Every‐Day‐Low‐Price, Hi‐Lo and Hybrid) that are located within a 1 km radius of each other. Our data contain both the actual transaction prices and actual regular prices as displayed on the store shelves. We combine these data with two ‘generated’ regula…
On the Intersubjective Creation of Time and the Importance of Enactment
In this discussion of Dr. Chefetz’s and Dr. Bartlett’s responses (this issue, 2022), we further explore the inevitability of enactment in the process of treating dissociation in the face of relational trauma. Trauma, we propose, attacks human subjectivity by rapturing its being-in-time. Instead of being the creator of time, the subject finds himself doomed to be the object of time and living in the perpetuation of repetition compulsion. Paradoxic…
Imagination and Fantasy
This paper proposes a distinction between fantasy and imagination, and endeavors to investigate its interconnectedness with trauma, as well as its implications to the therapeutic encounter with the psychic areas of trauma, dissociation, and repetition. Whereas imagination is an active phenomenon which resides within the dialectic of inner and outer worlds, increases psychic movement and works in the service of linking self-states within the subje…
Civilizational mnemonics and the longue durée
Constructivist assumptions have dominated the field of memory studies, producing an avalanche of case studies focusing on the instrumental and expedient factors shaping memory politics. However, this constructivist bias has also yielded new blind spots. For one, it tends to privilege “events” and “contingencies” over the longue durée of a particular memory configuration. Two, it remains caught in a binary juxtaposition with some states adopting g…

Traumatism and the Changing of Temporal Figurations
The recent consolidation of trauma studies parallels the growth of memory studies. Tracing their entwined genealogy reveals a focus on the (same) tragic events. This essay focuses on how their histories and entwinements reflect and are constrained by particular and changing notions of temporality and risk. Focusing on the link of traumata and memories, exemplified in the concepts of post-traumatic stress disorder and cultural trauma, I shall argu…
Attitudes Toward Genetics and Genetic Testing Among Participants in the Jackson and Framingham Heart Studies
Genetic analysis has become integral to many large cohort studies. However, little is known about longitudinal cohort study participants' attitudes toward genetics and genetic testing. We analyzed data from a survey of participants in the Jackson Heart Study ( n = 960), Framingham Heart Study ( n = 955), and Framingham Heart Study-Omni Cohort ( n = 160). Based on a three-question attitude scale, most participants had positive attitudes toward gen…
New alcohol-related genes suggest shared genetic mechanisms with neuropsychiatric disorders
Excessive alcohol consumption is one of the main causes of death and disability worldwide. Alcohol consumption is a heritable complex trait. We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of gram/day (g/d) alcohol consumption in UK-Biobank, AlcGen and CHARGE+ consortia accumulating 480,842 people of European descent to decipher the genetic architecture of alcohol intake. We identified 46 novel, common loci, and investigate…
Methodological Cosmopolitanism
Global processes and the attendant growth of interdependencies have propelled a critical engagement with the nation‐centric features of mainstream social sciences. Methodological cosmopolitanism (MC) is an important epistemological and conceptual intervention against this methodological nationalism. Tracing the trajectory of MC from its inception to its maturation during the last decade, several interrelated dimensions can be identified: one enga…

Risk and the cosmopolitanization of solidarities
For classical sociologists, national solidarity was a response to the risks and uncertainties of modernity. National solidarity was said to provide the foundations for social order and justice (Durkheim), serve as the basis for political legitimacy (Weber), and address issues of (in)equality (Marx). Throughout the twentieth century, national solidarity seemed to perform these functions adequately, if often at the expense of those not belonging to…
Cosmopolitanization of Memory
This chapter investigates how 1990s post-Yugoslav evocations of cosmopolitanism projected openness in opposition to hegemonizing nationalisms, and which closures were encapsulated within this process. In the 1990s Serbia and Croatia violence against national others was banalized and war criminals were widely celebrated as national heroes. Lamont and Aksartova argued that the 'opposition of nationalism to cosmopolitanism conveys the fundamental te…
Cosmopolitanizing Catastrophism
Ulrich Beck's quest to unshackle the social sciences from their methodological nationalism has yielded numerous influential concepts. In his last work he theorized the transformation of a globally connected world through the notion of 'metamorphosis' understood as a form of radical (paradigmatic) change. This transfiguration is driven by different perceptions of catastrophism, carrying the potential to re-shape world risk society. In this essay I…
Remembering a sociology of Human Rights
A sociology of human rights sounds almost like a contradiction in terms. Sociology is about social groups, about particular experiences, about how people, embedded in space and time, make sense of their lives and give meaning to their world. It deals with power and interest and the social bases of our experiences. On the other hand, human rights are about human beings in general, without temporal or spatial references, not about groups and their …
A "culpa" no artigo 944, parágrafo único, do Código Civil
O presente trabalho vem questionar o papel da culpa como elemento da responsabilidade civil no que tange à análise do dano e a sua liquidação, sob a ótica do art. 944 e seu parágrafo único, do Código Civil brasileiro. Propondo novas formas interpretativas da referida norma, cogita-se do desdobramento da culpa como forma de contribuição causal no intuito de afastar aquele elemento subjetivo do processo de quantificação do dano.Objetiva-se, pois, d…
Evolving Privatization in Eastern and Central European Higher Education
With the fall of communism in 1989, Eastern and Central Europe would quickly become part of an already strong global tide of privatization in higher education. Nowhere else did private higher education rise so suddenly or strongly from virtual nonexistence to a major regional presence. A fresh database allows us to analyze the extent and dimensions of that presence, including various national and subregional quantitative dimensions. Yet the priva…
Beyond the Nation-State
Cosmopolitanized Nations
The concept of the national is often perceived, both in public and academic discourse as the central obstacle for the realization of cosmopolitan orientations. Consequently, debates about the nation tend to revolve around its persistence or its demise. We depart from this either-or perspective by investigating the formation of the 'cosmopolitan nation' as a facet of world risk society. Modern collectivities are increasingly preoccupied with debat…

Memory Unbound
This article analyzes the distinctive forms that collective memories take in the age of globalization. It studies the transition from national to cosmopolitan memory cultures. Cosmopolitanism refers to a process of 'internal globalization' through which global concerns become part of local experiences of an increasing number of people. Global media representations, among others, create new cosmopolitan memories, providing new epistemological vant…
Sovereignty transformed
This paper examines how global interdependencies and the consolidation of a human rights discourse are transforming national sovereignty. Social researchers frequently address the supremacy of state sovereignty and the absoluteness of human rights as mutually exclusive categories. However, rather than presupposing that a universal rights discourse is necessarily leading to the demise of sovereignty, we suggest that an increasingly de-nationalized…

Reflexive particularism and cosmopolitanization
In this article we examine the cosmopolitanization of national memory cultures as a matter of reflexive particularism, referring to negotiations over 'the national' driven by the endogenization of European norms and discourses. Reflexive particularism emerges from a historically specific memory imperative that issues two demands - first, that national polities reckon with the Other, and second, that they engage with, critique and challenge exclus…

Recursive cosmopolitization
This paper illustrates how varieties of cosmopolitanism are shaped through a mutually constitutive set of cultural dispositions and institutional practices that emerge at the interstices of global human right norms and local legal practices. Converging pressures of 'cosmopolitan imperatives' and the multiplicity of particularized manifestations are co-evolving in the context ofintercrossingsduring which distinctive cosmopolitanisms are establishe…
Evidence for decline in disability and improved health among persons aged 55 to 70 years
OBJECTIVES: This study detected secular change in disability and health among persons aged 55 to 70 years, the life period when increases in disability and morbidity begin and retirement occurs. METHODS: Cross-sectional comparisons were completed with data from similarly aged members of the original (n = 1760) and offspring (n = 1688) cohorts of the Framingham Heart Study, which represent 2 generations. Analyses were conducted by gender and on ch…
The Future of the Past
During the last two decades, a surge of historical revisionism has commanded considerable attention in both academia and the public sphere, as historians have linked their understandings of the past to salient problems and identity crises of the present. Increasingly, the histories of nations have been problematized and have become the object of commemorative battles. Historiographical disputes thus reveal no less about contemporary political sen…

Public Policy for Private Higher Education
Public policy for private higher education reveals many characteristics associated with decentralized, pluralist systems. Private higher education emergence often comes through initiative outside government, with government unprepared to act. Government and government policy have not usually been the central driving forces for the sector's appearance. However, government supervision is growing, commonly through delayed regulation, and indirect fo…

Memories of Universal Victimhood
Images of German victims have become a ubiquitous feature of political debates and mass-mediated cultural events in recent years. This paper argues that changing representations of the Holocaust have served as a political cultural prism through which histories of German victimhood can be renegotiated. More specifically, we explore how the centrality of the Holocaust in Germany informs how the postwar expulsion of twelve million ethnic Germans has…

While universities in several South American nations are experiencing the effects of redemocratization, Chilean universities have entered their second decade under military rule.

University Autonomy in Mexico
Until recently, the Córdoba Reform of 1918 was the symbolic landmark in twentieth-century Latin American higher education. Achieving a pioneering victory in Argentina, the Reform soon became influential throughout much of the region, and university autonomy from government emerged as its most cherished legacy. Despite frequent violations, the principle of autonomy often promoted a substantial degree of university self-rule and even sanctuary for …

For decades, the National Autonomous University of Mexicon (UNAM) has made headlines when its students demonstrated or staged strikes and when the Mexican government responded with force. Few observers, though, have recognized these events as scenes in a larger drama of university-state conflict, described for the first time in this volume. Since the beginning of the Mexican Revolution in 1910, the Mexican state has successfully gained control of…

Educational Policy
Profound dissatisfaction marks most contemporary thinking about educational policy in Latin America. This view reflects a generalized dissatisfaction, at least in much of the academic world, with the overall pace and direction of national development. In education as in so many other fields, the optimism that characterized modernization theory in the 1950s and 1960s has given way to more somber analyses of the
