Abstract

In TV Socialism, Anikó Imre provides an innovative history of television in socialist Europe during and after the Cold War. Rather than uniform propaganda programming, Imre finds rich evidence of hybrid aesthetic and economic practices, including frequent exchanges within the region and with Western media, a steady production of varied genre entertainment, elements of European public service broadcasting, and transcultural, multi-lingual reception practices. These televisual practices challenge conventional understandings of culture under socialism, divisions between East and West, and the divide between socialism and postsocialism. Taking a broad regional perspective encompassing Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, Imre foregrounds continuities between socialist television and the region's shared imperial histories, including the programming trends, distribution patterns, and reception practices that extended into postsocialism. Television, she argues, is key to understanding European socialist cultures and to making sense of developments after the end of the Cold War and the enduring global legacy of socialism.

Abstract

Die Studie behandelt den religiösen Charakter der wichtigsten sozialistischen Strömungen unter der Julimonarchie und ihr erstaunliches Fortbestehen in neuen religiösen Bewegungen in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Als roter Faden dient dabei die Entwicklung des radikalen Sozialisten Alphonse-Louis Constant (1810-1875), der unter dem Pseudonym Eliphas Lévi als Begründer des Okkultismus gilt. Die umfangreiche Kontextualisierung seiner Schriften zeigt, dass er seine okkultistischen Ideen nicht etwa in einem „esoterischen“ Kontext entwickelte, sondern vor dem Hintergrund sozialistischer und so genannter „neo-katholischer“ Diskurse. Die dabei gewonnenen Einblicke erlauben die Hinterfragung festgeschriebener Rollen auf der Bühne der europäischen Religionsgeschichte. So erweist sich die weit verbreitete Annahme eines Antagonismus zwischen fortschrittlichen sozialistischen und reaktionären religiösen Kräften, der seinen Höhepunkt in der laïcité gefunden habe, als irreführend. Ebenso wird in diesem Zusammenhang die Notwendigkeit einer Neubewertung von Esoterik verdeutlicht. Dies ermöglicht nicht nur neue Sichtweisen auf die Politikgeschichte, sondern auch auf kontrovers diskutierte Prozesse der Modernisierung und Säkularisierung. This study radically reformulates the importance of socialist trends in European religious history. By examining the emergence of the radical socialist Alphonse-Louis Constant (1810–1875), who is regarded as the founder of occultism under the name Eliphas Lévi, it reveals the religious character of socialism during the July monarchy and its surprising persistence in new religious movements after 1848.

Abstract

Paul Auerbach's Socialist Optimism offers an alternative political economy for the twenty-first century. Present-day capitalism has generated growing inequality of income and wealth, persistent high levels of unemployment and ever-diminishing prospects for young people. But in the absence of a positive vision of how society and the economy might develop in the future, the present trajectory of capitalism will never be derailed, no matter how acute the critique of present-day developments. The detailed blueprint presented here focuses upon the education and upbringing of children in the context of social equality and household security. It yields a well-defined path to human development and liberation, as well as democratic control of working life and public affairs. Socialism as human development gives a unity and direction to progressive policies that are otherwise seen to be a form of pragmatic tinkering in the context of a pervasive capitalist reality.

Abstract

The republication of Karl Korsch's Karl Marx (1938) makes available to a new generation of readers the most concise account of Karl Marx's thought by one of the major figures of twentieth-century Western Marxism. Originally written for publication in a series on 'Modern Sociologists', Korsch's book sought to bring Marx's work to life for an audience of non-specialist readers. As Michael Buckmiller writes in his new introduction to the work, Korsch wanted his book to serve as a passport into the non-dogmatic sections of the American labour movement. The result is a bracing, concise, and accessible overview of the entirety of Marx's thought, and a pungent history of 'Marxism' itself.

Abstract

By charting the ideas that informed and shaped Ed Miliband's attempt to re-imagine social democracy this book shows that he tried but failed in that task. This failure is one of the several reasons why 'Milibandism' was so overwhelmingly rejected by voters at the 2015 general election.

Abstract

"India, June 1975. Fundamental rights are suspended. The Opposition is in jail. The Press is shut down. And Prime Minister Indira Gandhi has just declared Emergency. Only one political party supports Indira Gandhi's action--the Communist Party of India (CPI). Why did the CPI take up this lonely and much-criticised stand? Were there any pressures from the Soviet Union or was the CPI looking for some political mileage? CPI's stance on the issue has never been discussed, analysed and understood. In an exhaustive study of the period, David Lockwood lays bare the facts before us. Through personal interviews with CPI members, internal documents of the party and archives, he presents the most thorough study of the CPI and the Emergency so far"--Provided by publisher.
