Abstract A growing body of work has investigated the travel of neo-Marxist theorists and theory to state socialist contexts such as Romania and China, but this scholarship has not focused on successful strategies of indigenization. While several explanations for this process have been proposed, this article advances the concept of “ideological fit” to illuminate how a new body of work is successfully popularized and integrated into national conversations. I explore the relationship between the indigenization of Immanuel Wallerstein’s world-systems theory in Romania within the context of Cold War ideological conflict. This study compares the popularization strategies of a group of U.S. social scientists (Daniel Chirot and Katherine Verdery) with local attempts (Ilie Bădescu) to promote Wallerstein’s theory in Romanian academia. World-systems theory advanced a critique of global capitalism in the United States, whereas in Romania, it was integrated into and discussed as a contribution to anticolonial struggles around the world. As a result, Bădescu’s assertion that Romanian national poet Mihai Eminescu was an anticolonial thinker became generative in local sociology. I conclude by discussing how key theoretical elements of Wallerstein’s theory, which I call the “leftovers,” have been redeployed in new scholarship on decolonization and discuss the risks of such an approach.
越来越多的工作研究了新马克思主义理论家和理论在罗马尼亚和中国等国家社会主义背景下的传播,但这些学术研究并未关注本土化的成功策略。虽然对这一过程已经提出了几种解释,但本文提出了“意识形态契合”的概念,以阐明一个新的工作体系如何成功地推广并融入国家对话。我在冷战意识形态冲突的背景下探讨伊曼纽尔·沃勒斯坦的世界体系理论在罗马尼亚的本土化之间的关系。本研究比较了一组美国社会科学家(Daniel Chirot和Katherine Verdery)在罗马尼亚学术界推广沃勒斯坦理论的推广策略和当地的尝试(Ilie b descu)。世界体系理论在美国提出了对全球资本主义的批判,而在罗马尼亚,它被纳入并作为对世界各地反殖民斗争的贡献而被讨论。因此,布雷代斯库关于罗马尼亚民族诗人米哈伊·埃米内斯库是一位反殖民主义思想家的主张在当地社会学中产生了影响。最后,我讨论了沃勒斯坦理论的关键理论要素(我称之为“剩余物”)是如何在非殖民化的新学术研究中重新部署的,并讨论了这种方法的风险。

Paradoxes of the Czechoslovak Sokol Association in the Interwar Period 两次世界大战期间捷克斯洛伐克索科尔协会的悖论

Abstract The article addresses some of the paradoxes of the interwar Czechoslovak Sokol Association. It shows how after 1918 Sokol historiography experienced a boom following national independence: a proliferation of accounts of the Sokol movement’s history to date told in largest part by the leadership of the association itself. These accounts re-narrated the history of the movement so that it became well-adjusted to the new culture of victory of the interwar state, positing throughout a separation between nation and empire and a struggle in which the former, aided by Sokol mobilization, was sure to emerge victorious. The article asks that we read this historiography ‘against the grain’, showing that the actual relationship of Sokol to late-Habsburg civil society was protean and shifting, and only re-cast as unswervingly adversarial in the post-1918 period. The second part of the article looks at the participation of Sokol members and leadership in the war in Slovakia (1919), presented in interwar historiography and commemoration as a culminating moment in Sokol’s participation in the national liberation of Czechs and Slovaks. In fact, there is a compelling case to be made that Sokol’s role in fighting and violence at this time also shows the ongoing contestation and conflict associated with the creation of Czechoslovakia. The article shows that re-narrating the history of the Habsburg period and the war itself to emphasize the voluntarist contribution of groups such as Sokol was an important part of establishing and maintaining the legitimacy of the interwar state.
文章解决了一些矛盾的战争期间捷克斯洛伐克索科尔协会。它展示了1918年后索科尔史学如何在国家独立后经历了一个繁荣时期:迄今为止,对索科尔运动历史的大量描述在很大程度上是由协会本身的领导层讲述的。这些叙述重新叙述了该运动的历史,使其能够很好地适应两次世界大战之间国家胜利的新文化,在整个民族与帝国的分离和斗争中,前者在索科尔动员的帮助下,肯定会取得胜利。这篇文章要求我们“逆行”地阅读这篇史学,表明索科尔与哈布斯堡晚期公民社会的实际关系是千变万化和不断变化的,只有在1918年后的时期才被重新塑造为坚定不移的对抗。文章的第二部分着眼于索科尔成员和领导在斯洛伐克战争(1919年)中的参与,在两次世界大战之间的历史编纂和纪念活动中,索科尔参与捷克和斯洛伐克民族解放的高潮时刻。事实上,有一个令人信服的案例可以证明,索科尔在当时的战斗和暴力中所扮演的角色也表明了与捷克斯洛伐克的建立有关的持续的争论和冲突。文章表明,重新叙述哈布斯堡时期的历史和战争本身,强调索科尔等团体的自愿主义贡献,是建立和维持两次世界大战之间国家合法性的重要组成部分。

Alexander Szalai: A Transsystemic Career and Hungarian Sociology in the Cold War Era 亚历山大·萨莱:冷战时期的跨系统职业生涯与匈牙利社会学
Q2 HISTORY Pub Date : 2023-10-09 DOI: 10.30965/18763308-50020008

Abstract Through a detailed analysis of Alexander Szalai’s career as a major transsystemic academic entrepreneur in the Kádár era, this paper has been written to discern and assess how such activities impacted the ways in which science and scholarship worked at both sides of the systemic divide (the “Iron Curtain”). The single most important finding is the emergence of transsystemic spaces (fields), the undoing of national and systemic boundaries. These transsystemic configurations tended to provide social (formal and informal) frameworks within which reputations are generated and distributed, reputational hierarchies are established and reproduced. For scholars in the East such transsystemic spaces brought with them a great deal of good news: they could mean increased freedom and/or an unbiased assessment and genuine acknowledgement for what one has accomplished. Transsystemic fields brought with them a whole array of new (kinds of) opportunities. Acting as a nod of networks that generated transsystemic spaces could yield increased reputation and power at home. As all structures in the social world, however, transsystemic spaces could enable as well as constrain, they could propel you to the skies and might also crush you. As any other resources constituting social capital in academia, the space spanning along transsystemic networks of scholars and scientists could also be weaponized for the wrong purposes: they could enable impostors to acquire a status and reputation way over and above the person’s actual accomplishments, due to imperfect information available in foreign environments. Time would, of course, always show who they really are – but before that happens, they could bring havoc upon their field back home by distorted reputational hierarchies, by skewed distribution of competitive power between rivaling intellectual tendencies or “schools” and, eventually, by “paradigmatic” streamlining and contra-selection. This is, in a nutshell, what the story of A. Szalai shows.
本文通过对Alexander Szalai作为Kádár时代重要的跨系统学术企业家的职业生涯的详细分析,来辨别和评估这些活动是如何影响科学和学术在系统鸿沟(“铁幕”)两侧的工作方式的。最重要的发现是跨系统空间(场)的出现,国家和系统边界的瓦解。这些跨系统配置倾向于提供社会(正式和非正式)框架,在其中声誉产生和分布,声誉等级被建立和复制。对于东方的学者来说,这样的跨系统空间给他们带来了很多好消息:它们可能意味着更多的自由和/或对一个人所取得的成就进行公正的评估和真正的承认。跨系统领域带来了一系列新的(各种)机会。作为产生跨系统空间的网络节点,可以在国内提高声誉和权力。然而,就像社会世界中的所有结构一样,跨系统空间既可以限制你,也可以使你成为可能,它们可以把你推向天空,也可能把你压垮。正如任何其他构成学术界社会资本的资源一样,跨越学者和科学家跨系统网络的空间也可能被用于错误的目的:由于在外国环境中可获得的信息不完善,它们可能使冒名顶替者获得远远超过个人实际成就的地位和声誉。当然,时间总会证明他们的真实身份——但在这一切发生之前,他们可能会通过扭曲的声誉等级,通过在竞争的智力倾向或“学派”之间扭曲的竞争力分配,以及最终通过“范式”精简和反选择,给他们的家乡带来严重破坏。简而言之,这就是a . Szalai的故事。

“Politics of Plastic Nationhood”: Sokol Mass Gymnastics and Eugenics Between Empire and Nation-States “塑性国家政治”:索科尔大众体操与帝国与民族国家之间的优生学

Abstract This article examines how mass gymnastics in East Central Europe became increasingly entangled with eugenics. It traces the proliferation of eugenic discourses alongside the medicalization of gymnastics within Sokol, a mass nationalist voluntary association. In this context, the bodies of gymnasts became crucial sites of knowledge production and ideological projection. The article introduces the “politics of plastic nationhood,” a concept that foregrounds the fierce debates within Sokol over strategies to shape the imagined body of the nation though physical exercise. It also highlights key actors in these discussions, including medical doctors, physical anthropologists, and gymnastics trainers. The article shows that four major themes shaped these biopolitical disputes: health, diversity, gender, and ability. Focusing specifically on Sokol associations in interwar Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia and their prewar predecessors, the article outlines a chronology of the politics of plastic nationhood, which emerged in the Habsburg Empire and reached their zenith in the successor states. After imperial collapse, in particular, Sokol eugenicists sought to merge the diverse Slavic populations of the new states into a single “national body.” Owing to their perceived failure to achieve national unity, starting in the mid-1930s onward, eugenicists turned to rigid racial hierarchies, statism, and authoritarian politics.
摘要本文考察了东中欧的大众体操是如何日益与优生学纠缠在一起的。它追溯了在Sokol(一个大规模民族主义自愿协会)内部,优生学话语与体操医学化的扩散。在这种背景下,体操运动员的身体成为知识生产和意识形态投射的重要场所。文章介绍了“塑料国家政治”(politics of plastic nationhood),这一概念突显了索科尔内部围绕通过体育锻炼塑造国民想象中的身体的战略展开的激烈辩论。它还强调了这些讨论中的关键角色,包括医生、体质人类学家和体操教练。这篇文章表明,四个主要主题塑造了这些生物政治争端:健康、多样性、性别和能力。本文特别关注两次世界大战之间的捷克斯洛伐克和南斯拉夫及其战前前身的Sokol协会,概述了塑料国家政治的年表,这种政治出现在哈布斯堡帝国,并在继承国达到顶峰。特别是在帝国崩溃后,索科尔优生学家试图将新国家的不同斯拉夫人口合并为一个单一的“国家实体”。从20世纪30年代中期开始,优生学家们意识到他们无法实现国家统一,于是转向了严格的种族等级制度、国家主义和威权政治。

Abstract The interwar period is considered to be the “golden age” of the Sokol movement in Yugoslavia, when the organization enjoyed the support of the state and much of the population. One of the key elements in the process of shaping the visual identity of the Yugoslav Sokol was its purpose-built architecture, namely Sokolski dom (Sokol hall or center) and Sletište (Sokol stadium). It is estimated that there were around 280 such structures built in Yugoslavia, and a number of them are considered highlights of Yugoslav architecture. The stylistic variety of these structures demonstrated the different approaches to and interpretations and overall understanding of how Sokol’s visual identity should be shaped and, more importantly, how Yugoslavism could be visually communicated through Sokol architecture. This article explores the different methods and approaches to Sokol architecture in the context of the country’s post-imperial transition following the end of the Great War. It demonstrates how the relationship between Sokol societies and the state was reflected in Sokol architecture.
两次世界大战之间的时期被认为是南斯拉夫索科尔运动的“黄金时代”,该组织得到了国家和大部分民众的支持。在塑造南斯拉夫索科尔球场视觉形象的过程中,一个关键因素是其专门建造的建筑,即索科尔斯基dom(索科尔大厅或中心)和Sletište(索科尔体育场)。据估计,南斯拉夫建造了大约280座这样的建筑,其中一些被认为是南斯拉夫建筑的亮点。这些结构的风格多样性展示了对索科尔视觉身份应该如何塑造的不同方法和解释,以及对索科尔视觉身份的整体理解,更重要的是,南斯拉夫主义如何通过索科尔建筑在视觉上传达。本文探讨了在第一次世界大战结束后国家后帝国转型的背景下,Sokol建筑的不同方法和方法。它展示了索科尔社会与国家之间的关系如何反映在索科尔建筑中。

Doing Business across the Iron Curtain: Trade and Financial Relations between the United Kingdom and Hungary, 1945–1956 《跨越铁幕做生意:1945-1956年英国和匈牙利之间的贸易和金融关系》

Abstract This article explores economic relations between the United Kingdom and Hungary between 1944 and 1956. After the Second World War, the UK attempted to maintain some of its influence in Soviet-occupied Hungary by resuming trade relations with the country as early as 1946. Financial discussions around settling Hungary’s debts began a year later, but they ended abruptly in December 1949. British-Hungarian trade and financial talks resumed only in 1953, and a trade agreement was not signed until June 1956. In addition to providing an outline of British-Hungarian economic relations, this article also assesses the relationship between a relatively small country in the Soviet sphere of influence and the United Kingdom, as well as the role of economic diplomacy in East-West relations in the first decade of the Cold War.
本文探讨1944年至1956年间英国与匈牙利的经济关系。第二次世界大战后,英国试图通过早在1946年恢复与该国的贸易关系,来维持其在苏联占领的匈牙利的一些影响力。一年后,围绕解决匈牙利债务的金融讨论开始,但在1949年12月突然结束。英匈贸易和金融谈判直到1953年才恢复,直到1956年6月才签署贸易协定。除了概述英匈经济关系外,本文还评估了苏联势力范围内一个相对较小的国家与英国之间的关系,以及冷战头十年中经济外交在东西方关系中的作用。

Scientists for Sakharov, Orlov and Shcharansky 萨哈罗夫、奥尔洛夫和什查兰斯基的科学家

This article explores the challenge presented to governments and the scientific establishment by physicists who campaigned internationally on behalf of their Soviet scientific colleagues in the early 1980s. Cold War science operated in a highly charged environment: while the work of scientists on both sides of the Cold War divide was sponsored and closely guarded by government and military agencies, scientists were also at the forefront of activist challenges to human rights infringements suffered by their colleagues. The article explores the motivations for and limitations of a moratorium on participation in scientific exchange with the Soviet Union launched by the California-based group “Scientists for Sakharov, Orlov and Shcharansky” (sos). It considers the ways that both professional identity and Cold War dynamics shaped this solidarity campaign. sos sought to build their activism on a transnational basis and worked closely with scientific colleagues in Europe to do so. They pitched a campaign that appealed beyond the university and national scientific laboratories to a broad range of people who identified as scientists. Unlike many contemporary scientific organizations, the sos leadership embraced the political nature of such activism. As a whole, this article shows how scientists navigated different political and scientific contexts when organizing support for their Soviet colleagues.
这篇文章探讨了20世纪80年代初代表苏联科学家在国际上开展活动的物理学家向政府和科学机构提出的挑战。冷战时期的科学工作是在一个高度紧张的环境中进行的:虽然冷战双方科学家的工作都得到政府和军事机构的资助和严密保护,但科学家们也站在积极分子挑战其同事所遭受的侵犯人权行为的最前沿。这篇文章探讨了总部设在加利福尼亚的“支持Sakharov、Orlov和Shcharansky的科学家”(sos)组织发起的暂停参与与苏联的科学交流的动机和局限性。它考虑了职业身份和冷战动态影响这场团结运动的方式。sos寻求在跨国基础上建立他们的行动主义,并与欧洲的科学同事密切合作。他们发起了一场运动,吸引了大学和国家科学实验室之外的广泛人群,他们认为自己是科学家。与许多当代科学组织不同,sos的领导层接受了这种行动主义的政治性质。作为一个整体,这篇文章展示了科学家们如何在不同的政治和科学背景下为他们的苏联同事组织支持。

Cold War science operated in a highly charged environment: while the work of scientists on both sides of the Cold War divide was sponsored and closely guarded by government and military agencies, scientists were also at the forefront of activist challenges to human rights infringements suffered by their colleagues. The article explores the motivations for and limitations of a moratorium on participation in scientific exchange with the Soviet Union launched by the California-based group “Scientists for Sakharov, Orlov and Shcharansky” (sos). It considers the ways that both professional identity and Cold War dynamics shaped this solidarity campaign. sos sought to build their activism on a transnational basis and worked closely with scientific colleagues in Europe to do so. They pitched a campaign that appealed beyond the university and national scientific laboratories to a broad range of people who identified as scientists. Unlike many contemporary scientific organizations, the sos leadership embraced the political nature of such activism.

Failures, Limits and Competition: Campaigns on Behalf of Eastern European Dissidents in Cold War Belgium, 1956–1989 失败、限制与竞争:1956-1989年冷战时期比利时代表东欧持不同政见者的运动

This article examines the ways in which campaigns supportive of dissidents and human rights in Eastern Europe developed in Belgium during the Cold War. The Belgian case study reveals the critical role of internationally oriented Catholic organizations and social movements in these campaigns. This Catholic activism has often been neglected in mainstream accounts focusing on left-wing or liberal support for Eastern European dissidents or human rights, but it is key to understanding the development of campaigns and their relationships, both real and imagined, with other causes, especially movements with a North – South orientation. Catholic ngo s and social movements constituted a site where activism on behalf of dissidents and human rights in Eastern Europe encountered and entangled with solidarity movements oriented toward the “Third World”. Revealing crossovers and connections, this article argues that the engagement with and images of Eastern European dissidents cannot be understood apart from the development of North – South movements. It also reveals tensions and limitations that have remained neglected in universalizing human rights narratives stressing connections and flows.
本文考察了冷战期间在比利时开展的支持东欧持不同政见者和人权运动的方式。比利时的个案研究揭示了面向国际的天主教组织和社会运动在这些运动中的关键作用。在关注左翼或自由派对东欧持不同政见者或人权的支持的主流报道中,这种天主教激进主义经常被忽视,但它是理解运动的发展及其与其他原因的关系的关键,无论是真实的还是想象的,尤其是南北取向的运动。天主教非政府组织和社会运动构成了一个场所,代表东欧持不同政见者和人权的行动主义与面向“第三世界”的团结运动相遇并纠缠在一起。揭示交叉和联系,本文认为,与东欧持不同政见者的接触和形象不能脱离南北运动的发展来理解。它还揭示了在强调联系和流动的人权叙述普遍化过程中仍然被忽视的紧张和限制。

The ‘People’s Sport’: Petty Theft in the German Democratic Republic, 1963–1985 “人民的体育”:1963-1985年德意志民主共和国的小偷小摸

Friedrich Engels claimed that communism would eliminate criminality. With “exploitative” capitalist societal conditions removed, there would no longer be any material or psychological reasons for people to commit crime. The reality in the Eastern Bloc in the late Cold War was, however, very different. Petty theft was a particular problem area. Citizens filched alcohol from supermarkets, bricks from construction sites, and money from colleagues’ lockers on an epidemic scale.This article employs archival and oral history evidence to examine petty theft in the German Democratic Republic (gdr). Scholars have generally attributed its occurrence to “economy of scarcity conditions,” that is, citizens stole items that were in short supply or not on general sale. This article, however, considers whether petty theft constituted a challenge to socialist rule since this crime contravened state ideology. It finds evidence that a desire to defy the state did motivate some citizens to steal, but that the majority of thefts were inspired by more prosaic reasons. The analysis does show, however, that citizens mocked and dismissed the concept of People’s Property, thereby rejecting a central tenet of the regime’s political project.
弗里德里希·恩格斯声称共产主义将消灭犯罪。随着“剥削性”资本主义社会条件的消除,人们犯罪将不再有任何物质或心理上的原因。然而,冷战后期东方集团的现实情况却大不相同。小偷小摸是一个特别严重的问题。市民们从超市里偷酒,从建筑工地偷砖,从同事的储物柜里偷钱,这种现象呈流行病的规模。本文采用档案和口述历史证据来考察德意志民主共和国(gdr)的小偷小盗。学者们普遍将其归因于“稀缺条件下的经济”,也就是说,市民偷窃了供应短缺或不公开出售的物品。然而,本文认为,小偷小摸是否构成对社会主义统治的挑战,因为这种犯罪违反了国家意识形态。它发现有证据表明,反抗国家的愿望确实促使一些公民偷窃,但大多数盗窃行为是由更平淡无奇的原因引起的。然而,分析确实表明,公民嘲笑和摒弃了人民财产的概念,从而拒绝了该政权政治计划的核心原则。
