Abstract
Abstract: During World War II, the Institute for Social Research conducted an innovative study of American working-class antisemitism. This article goes beyond existing literature by reconstructing the project’s evolving understanding of labor antisemitism—from ideology to psychopathology. This change, it argues, arose from the project’s methods, findings, and analytical concepts—especially the long-overlooked concept of the stereotype. The article documents this concept’s role in two better-known Institute works from the period: Dialectic of Enlightenment and Authoritarian Personality . Throughout, it traces continuities in the Institute’s research program and reconsiders the balance between its empirical studies and its critical theory in the 1940s.
摘要:二战期间，美国社会研究所(Institute for Social Research)对美国工人阶级的反犹主义进行了创新性研究。本文超越了现有文献，重构了该项目对劳工反犹主义的不断演变的理解——从意识形态到精神病理学。它认为，这种变化源于项目的方法、发现和分析概念——尤其是长期被忽视的刻板印象概念。这篇文章记录了这一概念在两个著名的研究所著作中的作用:启蒙辩证法和权威人格。全书追溯了该研究所研究计划的连续性，并重新思考了20世纪40年代其实证研究与批判理论之间的平衡。
期刊介绍：
Since its inception in 1940, the Journal of the History of Ideas has served as a medium for the publication of research in intellectual history that is of common interest to scholars and students in a wide range of fields. It is committed to encouraging diversity in regional coverage, chronological range, and methodological approaches. JHI defines intellectual history expansively and ecumenically, including the histories of philosophy, of literature and the arts, of the natural and social sciences, of religion, and of political thought. It also encourages scholarship at the intersections of cultural and intellectual history — for example, the history of the book and of visual culture.
