摘要

由美国协会和自愿行动学者协会联合主办,芝加哥大会的这次会议邀请了两位对德国社会民主长期感兴趣的著名历史学家,弗农·l·利特克(约翰·霍普金斯大学)和威廉·s·艾伦(纽约州立大学布法罗分校)。利特克教授的报告《德意志帝国的社会民主主义文化组织》,尽管标题是关于歌唱社团的,尤其是在魏因海姆和魏因斯特拉斯。虽然这个主题起初似乎过于狭隘,但演讲者利用它得出了一些广泛而有趣的推论。这些歌唱协会代表了许多工人被排除在德国社会生活主流之外的一个例子;它们的存在是因为工人被现有的中产阶级排斥在外。因此,这些工人社团反映了一种排斥感和排他性,在他们的成员中,在他们的工人阶级歌曲的演唱曲目中,在他们的社团名称中,如“拉萨尔”、“自由”、“进步”和“前进”。然而,利特克的研究确实揭示了融入更大社会的某些特征。诸如“日耳曼尼亚”或“条顿尼亚”这样的社团名称证明了一种民族意识。民歌,以及歌会上的民俗服饰,证明了当地的传统;而在一些社会中,非工人阶级的存在也揭示了排外的工人阶级观念的淡化。社交性非常重要,它本身与工人阶级的排斥或融合关系不大。会员加入时玩得很开心,失去热情后就退出了。大多数社会都聘请熟练的音乐家担任唱诗班的指挥,而且社会和指挥越是强调音乐,社交能力和阶级的考虑就越是退居次要地位。德国社会对工人歌唱协会的反应各不相同。有时,市政当局会欢迎甚至补贴歌会和游行(纽伦堡就是这样做的),而有些城市(例如布雷斯劳)则绝对禁止公开庆祝活动。结论是暂时的,因为调查没有保证如此全面的判断,分析人士处理像社民党这样的组织需要一个新的分析模型,以取代像罗斯这样的杰出研究者使用的更简单的分析模型,罗斯从社民党被排除在更大的社会之外的角度来分析社民党。歌唱协会的案例清楚地揭示了排他性和阶级意识的例子,以及与更大社会共享的价值观的例子,以及某些特征,如音乐才能和社交能力,这些特征在阶级关系方面是中立的。利特克先生提出了另一种分析模型,该模型将处理社民党与更大社会之间的多个接触点,这种模型可以处理融合和排斥的复杂问题。

The Voluntary Associations of German Social Democracy: Separation and Resistance
Jointly sponsored by the AHA and the Association of Voluntary Action Scholars, this session at the Chicago convention featured two prominent historians with a long-standing interest in German Social Democracy, Vernon L. Lidtke (Johns Hopkins University) and William S. Allen (State University of New York, Buffalo.) Professor Lidtke's report, "Social Democratic Cultural Organizations in Imperial Germany," despite its title dealt with singing societies, particularly in Weinheim an der Weinstrasse. Although the subject matter at first seemed excessively narrow, the speaker used it to draw some broad and interesting inferences. These singing societies represented one case among many of the workers' exclusion from the established mainstream of German social life; they existed because workers were blackballed from existing middle-class groups. Consequently, these workers' societies reflected a sense of exclusion and exclusivity in their membership, in their singing repertoire of working class songs, and in the names of their societies, names such as "Lassale," "Freedom," "Progress," and "Forward." Lidtke's research did, however, reveal certain characteristics of integration into the larger society. Such society names as "Germania," or "Teutonia," evidenced a national consciousness. Folk songs, as well as folk costumes at song festivals, testified to a sense of local tradition; and the presence of non-workers in some societies revealed a dilution of the exclusive working class outlook. Sociability mattered a great deal, and it had little to do per se with exclusion or integration of the working class. Members joined to have a good time and quit when they lost enthusiasm. Most societies engaged skilled musicians as choir directors, and the more emphasis societies and directors placed on music, the more considerations of sociability and class receded into the background. The larger society of Germany reacted in varying ways to the workers' singing societies. On occasion, municipalities welcomed, even subsidized, songfests and parades (Nuremberg did so) while some cities (Breslau, e.g.) absolutely forbade public festivities. The conclusion, stated tentatively because the investigation did not warrant so sweeping a judgment, was that analysts dealing with organizations such as the SPD need a new analytical model to replace the simpler one used by such prominent investigators as Roth who analyzed the SPD in terms of its exclusion from the larger society. The case of the singing societies clearly reveals instances of exclusivity and class consciousness alongside instances of values shared with the larger society and certain characteristics such as musicianship and sociability which were neutral in terms of class relations. Mr. Lidtke proposed an alternative analytical model which would deal with the multiple points of contact between the SPD and the larger society, a model which can deal with the complex of integrations and exclusions.
