ABSTRACT This article assesses the prospects of social democracy in Turkey in light of two prominent debates regarding social democracy: the challenge of populism and the proper balance between a politics of redistribution and a politics of recognition. By focusing on the Republican People’s Party (CHP), it shows that the main problem the party faces is to find ways of addressing the issues of recognition and redistribution. Success in addressing these issues would provide an effective alternative to the populist agenda of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and build channels for participatory democracy and institutions of accountability. We argue that social democracy, with its legacy of democratic rule and institutions, can serve as a significant anchoring point in such an effort. We point out, however, why current social, institutional, political, and cultural factors make the CHP’s task of pursuing a social democratic agenda in Turkey particularly difficult.

which Goldsmith is concerned (in about five years, Alinsky tells us). Or Alinsky will himself become the prophet of a new age with fanatical followers. Nihilism is nihilism is nihilism. On this, I’m with Dostoevsky: the solution to the problem of fanaticism is not a more reasonable, less impassioned, less abstract, less violent nihilism. As Quentin Tarantino shows us, even though perfectly calm and perfectly reasonable while killing human beings, Lt. Aldo Raine is no less a fanatic than the Gestapo officer Hans Landa— he’s still an inglourious basterd. Landa, as if written by Dostoevsky himself, sums it up: “I’m aware what tremendous feats human beings are capable of once they abandon dignity.” An uncomfortable truth.

The “Italian invert’s confessions” have long been known to historians of sexuality, yet this new edition lends them an authenticity never before enjoyed. The Prime Mover in the publication is Michael Rosenfeld, a young literary scholar trained in Israel, Belgium and France, who teemed up with a group of academics and William A. Peniston, a retired American archivist and librarian who also appears in these pages and who, until recently, has been the doyen among experts in the affairs and intrigues of this anonymous Italian. It is to Columbia University Press’s credit that it played a part in making these “confessions” accessible after almost a century of neglect. A French edition appeared five years ago yet had little impact in the Anglo-Saxon world. Zola’s role in the transmission is curious and should be clarified, otherwise an erroneous impression arises about the part he played. The anonymous author delivered the manuscript to him in 1886 in the hope that France’s then most celebrated novelist would trumpet the Confessions’ existence as only an auteur le plus connu can. Balzac had been dead for three decades and Andre Gide—eventually to become France’s best-known “invert”—was then married to a woman and not yet in the public eye, an obscure smalltown mayor living in a commune in remote Normandy. In a four-paragraph précis Zola claimed to have been deeply moved by the Confessions yet judged himself ill-placed to announce them publicly. Instead he passed the manuscript to a young French physician, Georges Saint-Paul trained at the School of Military Medicine in Lyon. Saint-Paul studied there under Alexandre Lacassagne who encouraged him to pursue a doctoral dissertation on the uses of “Interior Language” in the self-narratives of criminal types, an interdisciplinary topic conjoining philosophy, physiology, sociology, anthropology, linguistics and literature and anticipating approaches Freud would encourage among his own students. To their credit the editors have also included a suggestive photograph of Zola in his early fifties identified merely as “photographed by Paul Nadar” (ix), without further commentary about the circumstances leading to this extraordinary image. The publication profits from the commentaries of a team of scholars; not merely the already mentioned Michael Rosenfeld but individual commentators writing about the
性历史学家早就知道“意大利倒置的供词”,但新版赋予了它们前所未有的真实性。该出版物的主要推动者是迈克尔·罗森菲尔德,他是一位在以色列、比利时和法国接受培训的年轻文学学者,与一群学者和威廉·a·佩尼斯顿(William a.Peniston)打交道,后者是一位退休的美国档案管理员和图书管理员,也出现在这些页面上,直到最近,他一直是这位匿名意大利人的事务和阴谋专家中的元老。值得称赞的是,哥伦比亚大学出版社在近一个世纪的忽视之后,在让这些“供词”变得容易获得方面发挥了作用。五年前出现了一个法语版本,但在盎格鲁撒克逊世界几乎没有影响。左拉在传播中的角色很奇怪,应该澄清,否则就会对他扮演的角色产生错误的印象。这位匿名作家于1886年将手稿交给了他,希望这位当时法国最著名的小说家能像一位导演le plus connu那样大肆宣扬《忏悔录》的存在。巴尔扎克去世三十年了,安德烈·吉德(Andre Gide)——最终成为法国最著名的“反面人物”——嫁给了一位尚未出现在公众视线中的女性,一位默默无闻的小镇市长,住在偏远的诺曼底的一个公社里。在一份四段的声明中,左拉声称自己被《忏悔录》深深打动,但认为自己不适合公开宣布。相反,他把手稿交给了一位在里昂军事医学院接受培训的年轻法国医生乔治·圣保罗。圣保罗在那里师从亚历山大·拉卡萨涅,后者鼓励他攻读一篇关于“内部语言”在犯罪类型自我叙述中的使用的博士论文,这是一个跨学科的主题,结合了哲学、生理学、社会学、人类学、语言学和文学,并预测弗洛伊德在自己的学生中鼓励的方法。值得称赞的是,编辑们还收录了一张左拉50岁出头的暗示性照片,该照片仅被认定为“保罗·纳达尔拍摄的”(ix),而没有进一步评论导致这张非同寻常的照片的原因。该出版物从一组学者的评论中获利;不仅仅是已经提到的迈克尔·罗森菲尔德,还有写关于

This being so, she can anticipate the apprehension that the political vision implied in her work might echo the somewhat medievalist (and even totalitarian) concept of the king as father, if tampered by the characters attributed to mothers and caregivers. In a different, more anecdotal and present-oriented register, does the experience of lockdown and the extended period of work from home that many people went through during the Covid years necessarily strengthen their desire to see the life of work and citizenship as continuous with the constant emotional availability practiced in the family? Such questions are of course inevitable when the complexity of the issues the book discusses is considered. They do not in any way detract from the book’s overall value and may actually attest to its ability to provoke further thought. Kellond’s contribution remains erudite, original and informative, a welcome and timely addition to the selection of works on the political impact of relations-based psychoanalysis.

rooted in different traditions through a single narrative and a joint historical category (and, one might add, with an authorial cross-reference in doing so, given that in 2005 he also published a brief study called The Second Sophistic). A curious reader will find much more to explore in the extensive Bibliography and moderate help from a brief three-page long Index. The book is written in a scholarly yet lucid style. It is meant mostly for classicists but is also of much value to literary historians, all of which makes it well worth its paperback price. As with any mix of previously published and newly released chapters, it is often kept together by somewhat loose—but discursively defensible—links. Commendably, the great majority of translations in the book are the author’s own, which helps all the chapters and sections retain overall cohesion and guides readers through the argumentation, often based on fine detail in interpreting the Greek texts (which are transliterated throughout). This collection will be a treat to anyone seriously interested in the cultural and literary history of the ancient world and its reception.
