The Conservatives’ representation of socialism and liberalism during PMQs since the 1990s
2022
The Conservatives’ representation of socialism and liberalism during PMQs since the 90s.Socialism and liberalism are ideologies which, in Michael Freeden’s terms “are not an exact representation of an ideational reality, but a symbolic reconstruction of it”. Drawing on this premise this paper seeks to analyse how and to what end the Conservatives have made a symbol out of (Labour’s) socialism and (the Conservatives’) liberalism through parliamentary discourse (esp. during PMQs). This process of symbolization through specific rhetoric means results in a clear-cut ideological divide between parties offering an (over)simplified view of the political world. However, symbols are fluid and can ev…
Benedetto Croce e Marx
2017
Traduzione di un saggio che illustra l'importanza internazionale dell'interpretazione che Croce diede di Marx, con riferimento al fatto che al contrario di quanto riteneva Marx secondo Croce il socialismo richiede anche una sollecitazione morale per instaurarsi. In questa differenza c'è già quanto basta per distinguere lo storicismo di Croce - prossimo a definirsi - e la filosofia marxistica della storia. Per Croce il marxismo è, notoriamente, un canone di interpretazione storica. It may be of some interest that Benedetto Croce, the «philosopher of the spirit», known as a determined Hegelian, found his way to Hegel via Marx. There he found a concrete and vivid Hegelianism, diVering from tho…
The Nation of the Socialist Intelligentsia: The National Issue in the Political Thought of Early Latvian Socialism
2012
This article deals with the political debates of early Latvian socialists concerning the national question in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. These debates were crucial for the later development of Latvian politics. The idea of Latvian democratic statehood was first pronounced and advocated in this context. The debate also strongly influenced those Latvian socialists, who as the ‘vanguard of Bolshevism,’ later became devout followers of Lenin. An interaction of several intellectual traditions can be observed in these debates, both German and Russian. The internationalist orientation of the later Bolsheviks (Fricis Roziņš, Pēteris Stučka) is mainly due to the influence of th…
With God and Guitars: Popular Music, Socialism, and the Church in East Germany
2017
AbstractIn the socialist German Democratic Republic (GDR), the Church entered into a long-term, complex and productive symbiosis with popular music. Beginning in the 1950s, reform-minded pastors opened their doors to jazz, and, later, almost the entire spectrum of popular music could be found in their churches: from pop hits, beat, rock, blues to singer/songwriters and punk. The interplay between the Church and popular music gave rise to a highly unique communicative space, a counterpart to the rigidly organized public realm. Here, political dissidents took refuge from a repressive system and were free to examine their society critically. This political force infused the alliance of the Chu…

Psychology and Management of the Workforce in Post-Stalinist Hungary
2019
Over recent years, there has been a growing academic interest in the history of psychological disciplines and mental health in the Soviet Union and eastern Europe. This article explores psychological sciences and social planning in post-Stalinist Hungary after 1956. The focus is on the psychology of work as a socially- and historically-situated discourse. The article demonstrates how psychologists started to promote their expertise to reform the practices of management and to “humanize” the conditions of work. They suggested practical remedies for everyday problems of worker motivation and social adjustment and introduced concepts from social psychology to improve the state of interpersonal…
