Abstract

This volume provides a compendium of the history of and discourse about antisemitism - both as a unique cultural and religious category. Antisemitic stereotypes function as religious symbols that express and transmit a belief system of Jew-hatred, which are stored in the cultural and religious memories of the Western and Muslim worlds, migrating freely between Christian, Muslim and other religious symbolic systems.

Abstract

Is research on antisemitism even necessary in countries with a relatively small Jewish population? Absolutely, as this volume shows. Compared to other countries, research on antisemitism in the Nordic countries (Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) is marginalized at an institutional and staffing level, especially as far as antisemitism beyond German fascism, the Second World War, and the Holocaust is concerned. Furthermore, compared to scholarship on other prejudices and minority groups, issues concerning Jews and anti-Jewish stereotypes remain relatively underresearched in Scandinavia - even though antisemitic stereotypes have been present and flourishing in the North ever since the arrival of Christianity, and long before the arrival of the first Jewish communities.This volume aims to help bring the study of antisemitism to the fore, from the medieval period to the present day. Contributors from all the Nordic countries describe the status of as well as the challenges and desiderata for the study of antisemitism in their respective countries.

Abstract

Blick ins Buch Wen oder was schützen die Menschenrechte? Wie weit reicht die Pflicht zur Nothilfe? Wie passen universalistische Prinzipien und kulturelle Diversität zusammen? Welche Aspekte kultureller Identität sind schützenswert, reformbedürftig oder gar rassistisch? Der vorliegende Band thematisiert prinzipielle Unterscheidungen, empirische Befunde und konkrete Unterrichtsplanungen für die Schule und den gesellschaftlichen Diskurs. Die Gestaltung und Bewertung von Migration haben Gesellschaft und Bildungssystem vor erhebliche Herausforderungen gestellt. Die politischen, sozialen und kommunikativen Verwerfungen wurden und werden zunehmend von konfrontativen Positionen geprägt. Vorurteile und Stereotypen greifen um sich. Allzu oft fehlt es an der Bereitschaft, die Argumente der Gegenseite ergebnisoffen zu prüfen und die eigene Position einer kritischen Reflexion zu unterziehen. Der vorliegende Band thematisiert die Frage, wie sich der Ethikunterricht dieser Aufgabe stellen kann. Berücksichtigt werden theoretische Unterscheidungen, empirische Befunde und unterrichtspraktische Konzepte.

Abstract

›Skandale‹ um geheim gehaltene Verstrickungen in den Nationalsozialismus haben u. a. mit Grass, Andersch oder Walser zentrale Mitglieder der Gruppe 47 betroffen. Die Studie fragt erstmals systematisch nach der Bedeutung dieser Einflüsse für die literarischen Texte der Gruppe. Ausgehend vom gegenwärtigen Bild der Gruppe 47, von Theorien narrativer Ethik und der Geschichtsforschung zur ›NS-Moral‹ untersucht die Studie diskursive Verknüpfungen von Moral und Zugehörigkeit in den wichtigsten Texten der Gruppe 47. Qualitative und quantitative Analysen zeigen die Vorherrschaft eines partikularen Moralverständnisses sowie in mehreren Texten einen Zusammenhang dieser Moralvorstellungen mit literarischem Antisemitismus. Daneben finden sich - u. a. in Bezugnahmen auf Bubers dialogisches Prinzip, das gerade die Hinwendung zum ›radikal Anderen‹ als ethisches Handeln konzipiert - auch alternative Ethiken; allerdings oft in Texten marginalisierter oder als untypisch geltender Mitglieder wie Bachmann und Celan.

Abstract

In the Spring of 2015, a post-modern version of the Salem witchcraft trials took place at Connecticut College on the Thames River. Only this time instead of sorcery it was Zionism; instead of punishing in the name of God’s law it was in the name of anti-hate speech and inclusive excellence; instead of young teenage girls leading the hysteria it was college-aged social warriors stampeding 200 professors into sacrificing one of their colleagues, and thereby contributing to a wave of administration-promoted hate-speech at their college.The Pessin affair offers us a case study in a tendency towards “public shaming” that not only deeply compromises the integrity of academia, but increasingly spreads to many aspects of our society, so susceptible to media-driven feeding frenzies.

Abstract

This biographical history follows the iconoclastic career of John R. Friedeberg Seeley, pre-eminent "Pop Sociologist" and Mental Health Activist of the 1950s. Seeley's "strange journey" began as a British Home Child, estranged from his cosmopolitan German-Jewish family. Seeley progressed through the ranks of the Canadian Army Medical Corps, and the University of Chicago, to achieve prominence as the author of Crestwood Heights, a defining work of postwar social science. He led an ambitious mental health project in Canadian schools, and was a founding father of York University. However, Seeley's struggle with mental illness and Jewish identity brought him into conflict with the Canadian establishment. His career ended in academic exile, but his dream of a mental health revolution still resonates.

Abstract

"This book is about the blood libel in medieval Europe. The blood libel comprises the stories that Jews would kill Christian children for ritual purposes, such as using the blood of Christian children to make matzah. The book is about Christian fears about forced conversion to Judaism, and also about Jewish attitudes toward conversion"--
