What set antisemites apart from anti-antisemites in Imperial Germany was not so much what they thought about 'the Jews', but what they thought should be done about them. Like most anti-antisemites, German Social Democrats felt that the antisemites had a point but took matters too far. In fact, Socialist anti-antisemitism often did not hinge on the antisemites' anti-Jewish orientation at all. Even when it did, the Socialists' arguments generally did more to consolidate than subvert generally accepted notions regarding 'the Jews'. By focusing on a broader set of perceptions accepted by both antisemites and anti-antisemites and drawing a variety of new sources into the debate, this study offers a startling reinterpretation of seemingly well-rehearsed issues, including the influence of Karl Marx's Zur Judenfrage, and the positions of various leading Social Democrats (Franz Mehring, Eduard Bernstein, August Bebel, Wilhelm Liebknecht, Karl Kautsky, Rosa Luxemburg) and their peers.

"The son of an industrialist who wanted to abolish private property. A Jew who didn't want anything to do with Judaism. A professor who published little. An economist who squandered money on the stock market. A communist who thought Marxism was anachronistic. And finally: a critical intellectual. When dealing with the political culture of the Weimar Republic, the development of Critical Theory and German-Jewish emigration to the USA, there is no way around Friedrich Pollock. Max Horkheimer's companion and the founder of the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt plays an important part in German-Jewish intellectual history as one of the most prominent representatives of Critical Theory. The present volume presents the first biography of a major but overlooked figure"--

Ansgar Martins’s The Migration of Metaphysics into the Realm of the Profane is the first book-length study focusing on Adorno’s idiosyncratic appropriation of Jewish mysticism in the light of his relationship to Gershom Scholem and their shared intellectual contexts. Rather than merely posit vague associative connections, as previous authors have often done, Martins’s close reading of specific references in published and private texts alike allows him to highlight both commonalities and differences between Adorno’s and Scholem’s understanding of Kabbalistic tropes and the issue of metaphysics in the modern world, and to demonstrate the extent to which similarities resulted from mutual and/or third-party influences (especially Benjamin). Martins throws the specifics of their respective idiosyncratic appropriations of (Jewish) tradition into sharp relief.

In the age of the Anthropocene, in which humanity acts on cycles and systems with all its power and capital, architecture and energy together mean more than operational or embodied energy, active and passive solutions. In the face of the climate crisis, beyond the phase-out of fossil fuels, architecture has a mediating role; it is about socio-cultural rethinking. Disquietude addresses the entanglement between architecture and energy in the 20th century, using Portugal as an example. Featuring different local Portuguese voices, the publication identifies the potential for a transition that could be local, sustainable, diverse, and just and be meaningful also in an international perspective.

Cooperative standards refers to creative, programmatic, spatial elements that are constituted out of experiential knowledge and shared responsibility. As answers to specific problems and needs, they deviate from generalized rules and norms and make it possible to realize special qualities and relationships in their environment. A concrete ceiling that allows the bar to operate while construction is still going on upstairs, scaffolding and conservatories, balconies and pergolas expand the living spaces and intertwine them with the neighborhood, a depot where people can live and work in a way that is actually forbidden. Issues 1-7 unfold the topic of cooperative standards at very different levels of planning and design. The projects collected here by Assemble, Inken Baller, common room, Jesko Fezer, Gabu Heindl, Lacaton & Vassal and NL Architects, show that special spatial qualities, functions and programs as well as beauty and luxury can be realized above all when the residents are also the actors - be it in co-determined planning or in self-responsible daily use. The editors Marieke Behne, Christoph Heinemann and Justus Griesenberg developed the series Cooperative Standards as part of their work in the field of architecture and the city (HafenCity University Hamburg, 2017-2022), where they dealt in particular with situational and relational dispositions in urban action space. Kooperative Standards meint gestalterische, programmatische, räumliche Elemente, die sich aus Erfahrungswissen und geteilter Verantwortung heraus konstituieren. Als Antworten auf spezifische Probleme und Bedarfe weichen sie von verallgemeinernden Regeln und Normen ab und ermöglichen es, jeweils in ihrem Umfeld besondere Qualitäten und Beziehungen zu realisieren.Eine Betondecke, die den Barbetrieb erlaubt, während oben noch gebaut wird, Gerüste und Wintergärten, Balkone und Laubengänge die Wohnräume erweitern und mit der Nachbarschaft verflechten, ein Betriebshof, auf dem so gewohnt und gearbeitet werden kann, wie es eigentlich verboten ist.Die Hefte 1-7 entfalten das Thema der kooperativen Standards auf ganz unterschiedlichen Ebenen der Planung und Gestaltung. Die hier versammelten Projekte von Assemble, Inken Baller, common room, Jesko Fezer, Gabu Heindl, Lacaton & Vassal und NL Architects, zeigen, dass besondere räumliche Qualitäten, Funktionen und Programme wie auch Schönheit und Luxus, vor allem dann realisiert werden können, wenn die Bewohnenden auch die Handelnden sind - sei es in der mitbestimmten Planung oder im selbstverantwortlichen täglichen Gebrauch. Die Herausgeber*innen Marieke Behne, Christoph Heinemann und Justus Griesenberg haben die Reihe Kooperative Standards im Rahmen ihrer Tätigkeit im Arbeitsgebiet Architektur und Stadt (HafenCity Universität Hamburg, 2017-2022) entwickelt, wo sie sich insbesondere mit situativen und relationalen Dispositionen im urbanen Handlungsraum auseinandergesetzt haben.
