Connection b/w the Haitian Revolution and Weber's Ideology:

-Slaves considered to be domestic animals and the money that they contribute goes back to the master's society and the colonies society and is justified because the use of these "domestic animals" help give back to the commonwealth. Slave owners deemed "chosen" because they are simply relying on the availability of said "domestic animals" to give back to the economy.

St. Augustine justification of slavery

-rather than Aristotle's natural slave ideology, some people are fit for slavery as opposed to being born for slavery. Arguing against the rationale that there is a characteristic that makes you a slavery, but because of sin throughout your lifetime and a secular rationale that creates an after the fact reason for slavery. There isn't a multitude of descendants for slavery at this point. Aristotle believes that you are predestined to be a slave if you based on sin.

pigment w africans/colonization/shift in judgment

-only way to save west African souls, in religious argument, was to enslave them since not Christians. Soon, however, awareness of west Africa's dark pigmentation compared to yellow or tan's south Africans- became part of this. -became clear during colonization that pigment not just due to climate when discovered brazil, who in similar climate but not dark pigment, questions about origin of African pigment.

racism vs culturalism

-there is a grey area b/w racism and culturalism- if we think of culture as fluid and adaptive then not but if we think of it as essentialized it becomes equivalent of race bc passed from generation to generation --arguments that race is not coded as culture, qualities of social groups are fixed, confided within biologically defined culturalism → racism as an ideology which gains power from ability to pick out and utilize ideas from other sets of ideas and beliefs - general history of racism

4 points of master slave dialectics

1. Conflict bw forms of consciousness - two individuals 2. Struggle Hegel defines as conflict for life or death-argument created bc each individual conscience motivated by own desire by while master's is endless desire to have increasingly power and control, slave's is always limited and knows itself for itself 3. Immediate result of conflict, think expert is winner bc he controls the slave 4. But true winner in fact is winner bc he is the one resisting the master's attempts to turn him into an object of desire that will have no end aka if desire has to do with our will to have something then master's desire is endless bc it is a desire for desire- to just feel something. Just focused on controlling objects, so feel nothing. Cannot build true consciousness. so, slave at least earns independence mentally if not physically. -master slave dialectics focused on power, anchored in human nature- will to have more always

difference bw racism w Us and germany / thoughts of jews vs blacks

1. Economic and social competition set off by emancipation involved dif classes- freed slaves in US competed competed mainly w lower class whites--racism took form that only white men were loyal to their fellow workers, lower class whites who were losing land clung to automatic social status in their white skin In Germany, competition in jobs bw Jews and gentiles was in middle or professional classes. In direct competition with majority class with medicine, law, journalism, banking. Finance, commerce. JEWS IN WORKING CLASS wherase blacks in lower middle class people who saw Jews moving ahead of them said Jewish achievement was undeserved and resulted from a malevolent conspiracy to dominate German life -anti-Semites did not accuse Jews of incompetence or intellectual inferiority but claimed rather that they were innately incapable of participating in German culture life and were indomitably hostile to it.

euro racism broken into four tendencies

1. Racializing rivalry between Germany and France as Arianism vs Celtic 2. Attributing rise of socialism to Jewish conspiracy 3. Asserting German races are rising and Latin races declining 4. Believing civilized whites must unify to hold in check other cultures that are doomed

after crusades/ war see situation of:

1. huge economic growth. One theory is political leaders see opportunity to reform political structure to stimulate economic growth and this benefits the leaders too. 2. Growing situation of inequality (scapegoating?) - violence bw minorities sometimes during situations of oppression. Victims of oppression situations usually do not behave in civil, quiet way- usually revolt to end the oppression. Escalation of violence bw upper and lower class but also bw the different lower-class groups.

first crusade

1096 this logic changes, populist rulers view Jews as way to build their own power so systematic series acts of mass violence in north of France- mass executions of Jews, burning centers for them, dismantling Jewish community by killing top rank leadership of that community and also regular common men (beheaded them usually, these killings called pogroms) mass executions of whole community in northern France and southern Germany. Jews mass movement to Poland, and mass phenomena of suicide "Kiddush Hashem" by Jews in these communities when surrounded by Christian crusaders so that they couldn't be beheaded -justification as purity of blood, get rid of Jewish blood in Europe to maximize Christianity

transubstantation

1215- transubstantiation- conversion of elements in to body of Christ, appearance of bread and wine- "incorporate body and spirit of Christ in you" article of faith and way Christians identified blood w way practice Christianity -Jew does not belong to body and spirit of Christ that defines Christian in its very biological source of existence- which is why 13th and 14th century as from different world- satanic- as like a demon

what happened in 1492

1492- situation escalates- monarchy conclude that best way is to expel Jews as a whole- whole Jews living in Spain forced to leave, majority of conversos forced to leave

black death

14th century- killed ⅓ euro population- created widespread fear among population and no concrete medical answers- resulted in people believing in certain things/superstitions/heavily Christianized discourse so religious answers, to cope with unknown -one of the superstitions of black plague was that Jews were poisoning wells of Christians to take over

linneus dates, what about taxonomy? acclimatization

1707-1778 -taxonomy of all species with humans at the center but different species within humans-4- Europeans Americanos-red Asianos- yellow and Africans sexual, described as the genus genus- characteristics separating it from other species acclimatization-climate has impact on characteristics of species-explains differences bw species ties races to temperment- blacks laziness due to heat of land

blumenbach dates , ideas

1752-1880s -taxonomy of behaviors 5 groups based on linneaus division of climate and termpaerametn Bildongstrieb- education development and biology all influence and change each other, affects way races develop and evolve and tied to education like chimps have smaller brains bc havent learned as much european climate conducive to relaxation and education and innovation, climate has greatest influence

scientific thought of the enlightenment? Carl Linnaeus

17th/18th centuries status of Jews improved somewhat even though still anti-Semitism. -scientific thought of the Enlightenment was precondition for growth of modern racism on physical topology. Carl Linnaeus attempted to classify /divide human species. differentiation made among Europeans American Indians Asians and Africans. Did not explicitly rank but clearly indicated preferences. Blacks "governed by caprice...negligent" whereas Europeans "invent life...governed by laws" RANKING OF RACES STARTED TO OCCUR

racism in US/france/germany 1860s forward .similarity w racism

1880s racism becomes and explicit political dogma for anti-Semitic parties both in Germany and France mostly as well as US. race end of 1860s and 1870s is not abolished as a form of class and minority belongingness. Rises again during 20th century and see drives to change this after WWI w African American war demanding the rights that were negated up until then, said deserved these rights and move against that by conservatives. Rise of system of eugenics for why this form of suppression could still exist despite democracy

development of nazi regime. where did it come from?

1920s/1930s rise of antisem propagated by Nazi state is not a diversion of pathology but continuity and buildup of habits of thought that existed before and simple differences that Nazi materialized in form of political plan. but nothing of what they did was completely new thought process

WEB du bois

1949, the results of these visits and my view of the warsaw was not so much a clearer understanding of the jewish problem, but was a clearer understanding of the slavery of negroes and black oppression. He saw no difference b/w the jews and the slavery of blacks in the south and the color line didn't create a difference either. The definition of genocide may have had a larger impact on the moral climate than the legal climate.

"denazification"

1960s-Apparent that by no means all of crimes of Nazi regime had been discovered, many murderers were living and still occupying important political/economic/legal positions- discovered institutional continuities bw Third Reich and Germany's second republic -federal republic has released former Nazis from prison sentences and restored them to positions in civil service "denazification" -lots of criticism of how a state could pass retrospective laws to combat terrorism but couldn't refuse to do the same in case of Nazi criminals and gave amnesty to these

-Ernst Haeckel attempted to propagate Darwin's teachings ...

According to him, anthropological racism, central races were the most highly developed and perfect, they alone have made history. idea of the explicit killing of the sick! a bunch of other thinkers followed this notion.. Idea again to kill the sick/deformed, described these measures as "hygienic" =these all reflected changing conceptions of heredity

adam and eve what was his real issue

Adam wanted to please eve so gave her power over him that she used against him. -Adam's error not his love, but excessive/misdirected love, turned away from god toward the world= greatest danger facing Christian king according to Sancho.

africans in the middle ages

Africans seen as pagan, not as a threat unlike Jews, and want to convert them to Christianity- bc discourse is just religious at this point- not religious or economic so no perceived stereotypes of them at this point- but this changes once Europe starts to expand either in direction of Africa or America

Period of "the terror"

All must be new in France. Revolutionized go, laws manners customs commerce thoughts. Revolution despite their efforts however, still faced rebellion. -so, idea that if there were outlaws or enemies of humanity, needed to exterminate them -burned and slaughtered regions, massacres even after rebellions defeated and to unconverted Accusations of false or incomplete conversions emerged, -French revolutionaries fought to perfect the world through reason and found that reason could not transcend the world of habit and superstition, huge violence towards resisting of this -during the terror 2000 catholic clerics guillotined and over 32000 emigrated in feet. - Jacobins did not just focus on Jews but on conversion of all of society

why is sex such big deal for racists?

Bc trying to keep purity of race and blood mixed when mix races, contaminates it - this is bw different regimes- attempt to block interracial marriage and intercourse -also, majorities use racism for own political and economic benefit- through need to separate peoples on economic, biological cultural basis = aka cultural essentialism- relation bw color of skin and characteristics again- which science is trying to retroactively justify

christian world view taking form after french revolution

Christian values, worldviews and are shaping modernity on basis of habits of thought -whether revolutionaries conscious about this or not still framed ideals of legality/solidarity/fraternity in terms of Christian worldview, gave voice to anti -Jewish rhetoric Framed notion of those three above on basis of a Paulician theology as contrast bw law and freedom

difference bw judaism vs christianity in way framed to world

Christianity frames itself in universal terms unlike Islam and Judaism which more ethnically based- Christianity as universal entity and anyone can convert-open to all /different ethnicities -very intolerant and inclusive but only for Christians/ intolerant for non-christians

both us and germany w eugenics

DEFINE EUGENICS * eugenics movement eventually applied to racial and ethnic groups, belief govt intervention was required to neutralize inferior breeding stock could justify variety of policies including immigration restriction, prohibiting interracial marriage etc.

jewish emancipation in france

French rev did acknowledge Jews as equal to Christians after two-year debate- first state to recognize the Jews - September 1791 two years after revolution outbreak -all examples in chapter builds explicitly equality of all human beings on Paulician rhetoric again

genocide define and decision of the chamber

Genocide encompasses commission of prohibited acts with the INTENT to destroy, in full or in part, protected group as such: killing, mental harm -chamber analyzed the intent of the perpetrators and then considers whether targeted party was substantial group of the victims - chamber decided that was not substantial part of group that was killed so not guilty of genocide on this count in earlier 1990s Bosnian Serb grocers, primarily members of VRS murdered several thousands of banyan men over few days in 1995, court looks at intent of perpetrators again and found that perpetrators intended to destroy this then and substantial part of group here so guilty of genocide - what happened in Srebrenica. Chamber gave final verdict at end of disposition.

genocide convention

HELP ** specifically about what should not be

petition - we charge genocide *

HELP against US Lemkin refers to it as barbarity. All acts of this character constituted an offense against the law aka barbarity- wrote this in 1933 before holocaust Continuing of description of different genocides- each has different quality.

haitian revolution

HELP*

puritan revolution and what did this provide the path for

Help* idea of maintaining state of the soul lost force w puritan revolution and rise of the protestant such as Quakers. - in this climate making a heathen background legal basis for slavery another way of asserting innate difference and thus resisting homogenizing effect of baptism. - this prepared ground for more explicit racism in 18th/19th centuries- one can then trace origins of two main forms of racism - color-coded white supremacist variety and antisemitism- to late medieval and early modern periods -great curses made easier for Christians to treat other humans as less than fully human

when nazis talking about jews/blacks ...meaning?

Important to understand that talking about a language that is symbolic. When these people think about Jews and Africans are not talking about real people, but some made up devilish creation. Not specific people referring to. Trying to create a symbol for sake of political manipulation***

protected exile paradox

Jew has the status of this in 12th century. church stands on side of protection unless place under political pressure then joins monarch side and looks to attack the Jew. 12th side, historical transformation- moves from analytical principle of Jew as the negative other, but to a more negative principle. Monarchs move to attack the Jews bc think will gain more power by attacking them then by protecting them Jew as someone you're supposed to get rid of/kill.

popular common man view during middle ages

Jew identified w money, lazy ( don't do jobs that require physical effort and don't do the land when actually they were not allowed to do this work), that never see them ( when really they weren't allowed to leave their ghettos), unless heard about Jew from priest at church who would talk about them like they were devils, so have very bad public view

the anti-Semitic league

Jewish question "released, exclusions from govt and military service continued, fear of Jewish power and success in minds of racists and founded the anti-Semitic league- conviction that Jews were corrupt by nature and trying to take over. Book published that Jews corrupt by nature and not just bc of their beliefs =first systematic presentation of this

lemkin genocide

Lemkin coined word "genocide in 1943" both as continuation of his 1933 Madrid proposal and part of analysis of German occupation policies. -use to describe policies against jews in nazi regime but others too --genocide most often refers to destruction of groups within country=domestic genocide but in axis rule applies to occupation policies across continent -addresses 17 countries Germany occupied during axis rule Rather signifies coordinated plan of different actions aiming at destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves

marx vs weber on where culture flows

Marx beliefs culture goes from economic to religious sector- says money economy creates gaps bw different classes and forces us to think about society around those lines Whereas weber says religion produced society for economic capitalism to develop. says first have ethics and norms which are protestant and then the economic result of that Web and marx mirror images of each other in this aspect Marx point- think about the class that created the conditions for revolutions- rebel against exploiters. And everything on a materialistic basis. historic and church working together to exploit the workers = first and second classes working together against working lower classes. Religion in this sense part of exploitation of the workers.

(Max Weber in 1905- who does he build on and what concepts?

Marx's ideology. His idea is the notion of habit of thought, secrualization and protestant theology. Protestant theology arrives in the 16th and 17th centuries. He argues that protestants of the modern era living in a protestant environment, you internalize this ideology. It means trying to understand the basis of a culture that's completely obsessed with materialism at its core. Interested in the cultural and social aspects of that ideology.

need to revolutionize germany via socialism

Nazi state) on basis of strong symbolic action/ cultural war that radical state could reorganize itself and cleanse self of Jewish contamination, 1920s advocating to get rid of Jews and negro sciences and clean education system from this contamination on blood by dehumanizing German culture. one form to do that was to organize books/burn the books to symbolize that everything associated w race forbidden In this sense, effect of Judaism is much larger than physical existence of Judaism. Not just exclusion of the minority of Jews inside Judaism but cultural war to purify self from Jewish culture that already contaminated

racism vs racialism vs romantic racialism

Racialism as the belief that there are heritable characteristics possessed by member of our species that allow us to divide them into a small set of races in such a way that all members of these races share certain traits w each other that they do not share with any other race. - this definition does not imply equality or hierarchy. -racialists do not become racists until claim special privileges for members they consider their own race. romantic racialism- belief commonly held by antebellum abolitionists of both races that blacks were intrinsically diff from whites in temperament and psychology (does not inherently mean inferior though)

davis on spartacus

Spartacus who was well-educated and physical capabilities, became a gladiator, captured, enslaved, organized first mass slave rebellion fighting a whole empire w army of slaves that escaped from their masters. Lost to the great armies of the empire but lived a legacy -usually an escaped slave not only by punished by death but everyone around the slave i.e. entire household of property slaves killed i.e. 400 -when Spartacus escapes elected along w two other gladiators, however, bc Spartacus is known as strong leader, smart, immediately perceived to be the only leader of those slaves even though he wasn't, make him into a symbol of the revolution. And this stuck- many groups in history called themselves Spartacus after him, military disadvantage (even though 70000 slaves form this ) so guerilla tactics , series of battles, but when Rome wins they kill majority of the gladiators/slaves on the spot and also crucified 6000 people of the army as a warning to other slaves - but loss of ethical legitimacy so roman loss in a way- bc such cruel punishment to people who have not much left to hope for - did not deal w a challenge in a way that was morally just

differences in regimes bw hitler and stalin

Stalin propagated idea of a classless society but hitler wanted to translate fundamentally inhuman racial ideology into reality -policies of Third Reich shaped by conflicts over competence of individuals→ ideological programmed was not determined by hitler alone -lots of modernizing aspects of regime - pushed "Germany into modernity" towards youth women and the arts- progressive policies towards women, but practice of Nazi racial policy was profoundly reactionary -had war not broken out, German economy would have collapsed -connection bw economic modernization and the murder of masses of people. Extermination of Jews represented form of developmental policy- remove obstacle in way of German transformation

subject vs citizen assembly questions of who could be citizen in france after revolution

Subject was like, like the Jew, enslaved to the law. Citizen was, like the Christian, a free participant in it -Could women become citizens? No. could slaves? No. but repeatedly turned to Jews as limit case- where approached limits of citizenship and of humanity. Questioned over and over again-32 times within two years even though only a scarce number of Jews existed there Why so much focus then? One explanation on idea of right to decide the fate of the Jews. Or another explanation of can humanity be perfected and if so how can this regeneration best be achieved? result was that vote 408 to 403 assembly voted in favor of emancipation. 40000 Jews living there at the time. And all really wanted citizenship so elated.

chain of being progresses with idea that...

Traced white race to Caucasus, said Caucasians as original human race from which others had diverged- the most handsome and becoming. -these scholars opened way to scientific racism by considering human beings part of animal kingdom rather than children of god. -efforts to demote Africans from human to ape revealed how purely naturalistic chain of being could deny full humanity to non-Caucasians

difference bw crime against humanity and a genocide ? when does genocide begin officially

What is difference bw crime against humanity and a genocide? Bc genocide is certainly a crime against humanity. Are humanity individuals or in general? Easier to prosecute a crime against humanity than genocide Says does not have to be murder to be genocide- destruction of liberty, healthy, dignity, personal security of such group also Word genocide first used legally at Nirenberg trials. Charged with crimes against humanity Enthusiasm for international law that addressed i.e. genocide or crimes against humanity Declaration of human rights- rights to freedom of expression, individual rights bc born etc. etc. =about what should be Crime against humanity doesn't' have to require intent, desire to exterminate ethnic group etc. - could just be killing a small village. Political group could be crime against humanity. name genocide invented in 1944

English kings 13th century

Whatever protection received form monarchs was product of their relation to the monarchs as their property in monarch's view Jews as 'possessions", defender of the Jews, as if they were king's private property, Jews as the king's serve- became widespread in euro law Jew does not live for himself but for another and not Jew himself , Jew must serve the king or else leave , in reference to chi 3 Jews as own "living letter" that exists only to be read by Christian Relation to power in a unique way. prince ultimately profited from Jewish money lending, pressures of royal taxation forced Jews to sell loans at deep discounts to members of royal court who would then collect the debt. -Jews very close relations to monarchy throughout Europe i.e. money lending taxation and pressures of royal taxation, feeding/care of royal lions, provide bedding/housing through kingdom

hegel slave dialectic- synthesis

ability to bring both together and leads to synthesis in form of thinking in terms of dialectics- -slave and expert are bringing together two separate consciousness' in form of thesis and antithesis- engagement bw two leads us to understanding of dialectic itself. When look at original conflict this is the consciousness each side brings, consciousness of slave is more independent/autonomous whereas consciousness of expert is dependent on him being a slave owner, is not independent, must do w his will to power, notion that his own desire for property is what defines him as a human being.

Basis of democracy w secularized christian ideals still here today

agree to be ruled by majority- this idea comes from enlightenment and says attack on Judaism and moss is opposite of this- follows the law and not the rule of the majority. -transformation from the subject to the to a citizen of a modern state- when do this

alphonso VIII king story/myth what is the symbolism/message in this

alphonso VIII king a castile- married and went to Toledo w wife- but while there saw beautiful jewels and became so attached to her that left his wife for her. Secluded w her for 7 months, paid no attention to his kingdom and just her. This great love caused by spells jewels made, so counts and knights killed her to solve this problem by slitting her through, and when king heard this was very sad. Angel said to him are you dwelling on the evil you have done? You do ill, for now that he will charge you dearly for it and your kingdom... -versions vary but bc of it basically alphonso's army destroyed by Muslim in battle of Alarcon and kingdom inherited by son of another man -doubt that jewels ever existed, but she was meaningful in message- kings have obligation to rule according to god's will. Should not be seduced by worldly desire or else punished

du bois

among the founders of the naacp 1905 very bitter of white americans/angry color line lots of protest activity concerned with treatment of pan-africans and people of this descent wherever they lived organized series of pan-african conferences around the world

ancient world slavery tied to

ancient world- slavery tied to labor, not to biological conditions.

antithesis middle ages vs synthesis example germany

antithesis in middle ages- negation- irrational thought took over rationality of ancient Greece, negated that and created culture based on emotions, paranoia, illogical considerations, persecution. -synthesis-Germany of his time. absolute/ideal perfection. 19th century Germany, who is just beginning to become independent on basis of idealistic thinking and liberal/constitutional order - absolute bc connects thesis to antithesis

those who criticize sonderweg idea *question bw three dif types nazi regime under

argue that Sonderweg presupposes a normal path of historical development form which Germany deviated from. Claim that there was no normal path and that other nations pursued separate paths too but did not end up like this. Say Germanys alleged "peculiarities" not as peculiar as advocates of German Sonderweg claim -some German historians defend theories of totalitarianism at expense of i.e. fascism which they first supported. Nolte- first historian to reject theories of totalitarianism as an ill-concealed political weapon ====questions of if totalitarinism, sonderweg, or modernizing politics

archbishop of toledo 1547

argues only way to find who is truly a Christian is to issue certification of blood that needed to prove religion on basis of hereditary characteristics- (can't carry any Jewish or Muslim) --stigmatization of entire ethnic minority and saying your identity is just based on blood which not true -state at this point is ahistorical- inability to change your situation- if you are born into wrong "blood' then that is that and viewed as having inherent identity - inherently evil i.e. conversos test case for Christians who want to prove that essential characteristics- that cannot change identity and born certain way- cannot assimilate

davis on hegel's master enslavement dialectics

argument that the expert needs the slave more than the slave needs the master Bc expert materialistically speaking cannot live without slave bc does not know how to do anything- dependent on slave whereas slave is accumulating skills, also needs slave to feel like a superior human being -hierarchy part of social life -hierarchies built around desire- which keeps us having need for existence for social layers of i.e. man and woman, expert and slave, man, and animal

basic "problem of slavery " arises from... what was the essence of dehumanization?

arises from irreducible human dignity of the slave- slave supposed to be treated like an animal but slaves are humans and act as such- rebel, etc. -laws recognized that slaves when not controlled were irresponsible rebellious untrustworthy and sexually promiscuous, that would rape/murder etc. - said bondage essential and compromise man must make for sin -abolition of slavery tied w freedom, redemption of sin etc. -important to note that even the most privileged slaves could be quickly sold or stripped, whip drapes or even killed at the whim of an owner. Unpredictable. Deprived of supportive clan===this is the very essence of dehumanization

The great chain of being- evolution

assumes gradual development of species and assumes everything we see around us taken in complete way. Man is created in god's image so man is perfect and everything leading to this is one link in great chain of being -use to classify each type of human in own species. Science to create logic of development And bring together theological world that understands world as moving forward/progress tag with image of perfection and divine harmony. 17th century with rise of evolution, progress tied to Christian understanding of world - taxonomy of species created with divine protection in mind

why were jews money-lenders middle ages

bc Christians forbidden theologically by church from being money-lenders so Jews took up this role to get money - bc everyone needs bankers Political secular rulers usually appointed Jews to do this role- one of very few positions Jews allowed to take in Christian world

why were jews problem to christians from the start? what is antijudaismus

bc did not recognize Christ as messiah- thought this prevented triumph of the gospel- said they bore direct responsibility for crucifixion but not bc of their blood at first but then was after -notion that Jews collectively and hereditarily responsible for worst human crime- deicide (killing of god - w Jesus)- created incentive for persecution antijudaismus → anti-Semitism when turned into hatred that made getting rid of Jews preferable to trying to convert them, and antisemitism→ racism when belief took that Jews intrinsically evil rather than merely having false beliefs

why is slave not a full human according to davis

bc full human according to ancient rules of roman culture was to be politically involved, democratic, votes and can influence society, usually living within the polis and if living outside of this i.e. farmers, not really considered citizens bc not voting, not involved politically -can come to Rome as a slave and climb up social status and become a leader

cultural relativism

believed one day various people would one day come tag. claimed however that each nation disposed of a specific national character and national spirit acquired exclusive overtones

discussion about a German "Sonderweg" that

caused rise of Nazi party- part of embedded culture. Stressed large major continuities between domestic and external policies of Kaiser Reich and third Reich

what change occurs french rev in rhetoric??? result??

changed from more reason rhetoric to more romantic rhetoric- drive for perfection -eventually saw those who did not abide with people who abided by every single part of revolution became traitors/enemies → the terror starts, and with this spread of violence and ironically, in sort of democratic way - violence against every descent and every voice of critique- demanded a total conversion and those who did not totally to logic of revolution sent to guillotine -romantic language that comes out of that identifies a form of perfection of spiritual and change- which in turn results in violence

sonderweg

confused

henry IV

considered to be the protector of Jews

nazi germany adopted from american south

continuity not only bw different periods but bw different political forms or dif regimes- which is why he thinks it is important to compare Nazi Germany to American south - many of the rules the Nazis used against the Jews were adopted from the American south in some way, and used language of south against Jews as not innovative- "we are doing the same thing that the US did 50-70 years ago", so why is US declaring war on us it is not just, etc. etc. - (many differences of course, Nazi Germany trying to exterminate them)

enlightenment with ranking of races ideas

correlated physical beauty w intelligence in his ranking. Blacks "ugly and semi civilized" -other scholars impressed w fact that only white men could blush -maybe reason whites considered superior was bc blacks deviated from themselves -bc of classical revival Europeans valued extreme paleness as well as features that characterized the ancient Greeks and romans racial typologies of 18th century established framework for full biological racism of the 19th, but much of enlightenment thought was without immediate practical application

what does terror come to identify with

counter-revolution -meaning the critics that argued revolution proved to fail bc terror regime. So, if go back to more romantic structure and idea that society is divided bw strong and weak- burke identified as one of best known British philosophers in favor of opposition to revolution- that total conversion impossible. And continuance of rev would lead back to the "old Judaism" meaning the law -so now see both rhetoric of revs -Paulician and anti-judaic, and the counter-revolutionaries again arguing against Jews. Both select the Jews as the enemy. -see same thing with modern racism. No matter side, Jews blamed for being socialists and capitalists- Jews always scapegoat

13th amendment related specifically to slavery in the American south

created to actually forbid slavery-" except for punishment of a crime" -American south hung all the weight on "except" bc considered them criminals- exception becomes the rule -used exception to create prison farms, to further criminalize slaves as people who deserved what they got - key model of domestication of the animal * but even worse than that bc animals assumed to be innocent but for slaves- assume them to inherently act in criminal way- that they deserve every single punishment they get

burke ideas on revolution/comparisons what does he see society as?

critic of french revolution -over represents jews in criticsim that jews are like dying moses, that outcome of revolution will be triumph of judaism, disproporiate in amount of times talks about jews i reference to how many jews actually in france. objections relate jews to finance -burke displays tendency to understand the dangers posed by the human dependence on symbolic economies as Jewish. sees society as a social contract , connnects all lower and higher natures

philosophers tended to explain the crisis of modernity by .. 1930s/1940s

criticizing the nature of modern thought, sense that rationality had overstepped its boundaries, that the claims of reason and of science had grown so great as to threaten humanity. -by now obvious that these conquests of symbolic thought could resonate with habits of thought about Jewishness and seem to threaten humanity with a new tyranny of Jewish letter and law

hankins theory/idea

critics racialism and states that Americans/Europeans collectively superior in intelligence and creativity than people of African descent, Hankins also saw no danger in politicized antisemitism and described Jews as a social group over a race. Put down blacks for failing to rebound as Jews did

1290 expulsion of the jews

defines Jews as serve, serving the court function to serve the monarch and Jews are emblem of uniting his legitimacy in terms of secular power and religious principles Jews as exception to the rule - proves the rule conducted/ordered by the ruler of the monarch- so proves the norms that his regime is trying to implement- Jews as ultimate other bc coming from within they are the exception to the rule that proves the rule. If someone wants to resist the rule turns first to the exception- to scapegoat Jews ==internal enemy

denationalization

describe destruction of national pattern but author believes inadequate b does not connote destruction of biological structure or imposition of the national pattern of the oppressor, And, sometimes authors use denationalization as deprivation of citizenship

two phases of genocide

destruction of national pattern of oppressed group and imposition of the national pattern of the oppressor. Imposition may be made by oppressed population after removal of population

jews according to marx

develop "inappropriate relation to property" according to marx, said they develop that as sign of identity and as property as something that belongs to identity., internal hierarchy within society that develops culture of fear in his opinion -to abolish this way of thought pg. 436 free selves from relation that exists, Judaism integrated to world created by Christian and assumed slavery as necessary. Both Christian and Judaism as inherently evil and need to overcome both religions (doesn't see it as something in blood or anti-Semitic sense, more as all religions bad in general)

james baldwin

disciminated against in US mid 1900s, moved to paris, bisexual wrote a lot about race brutality, would never let white society off hook for injustices but did not believe in separation of races, thought we all needed to come together as humans

90% of movies in 1940s/`1950s

done for sole purpose of supporting American forces in Europe- purpose of exporting them to Europe for propaganda purposes to make democracy regime (especially gladiator movies)

centralization in middle ages

during middle ages politicians trying to better define borders - more homogeneous state, want to centralized power, define a single language as "the language " of the state- trying to create cultural homogeneity or unity, specific culture, bring together aristocratic lineages and define them as one- which is attached to the notion of blood

- sources of resistance to capitalist economic development US vs germany

economic development (resistance to modernity) weaker in US than Europe and stronger in Germany than anywhere else. blacks were associated in white and with primitive, backward, not modern, unprogressive race whereas Jews were more modern, which is why never had a problem in the US - this is a more convincing argument for why Jews were not persecuted or scapegoated in US than latter idea that US blacks were already the scapegoat so did not need one -Jews in Germany were symbols of unwanted change bc German resistance to modernity -German Jews seen as too modern

Outbreak of WWI-emphasis shift with population

emphasis on population quantity rather than quality bc concern about quality imbalance resulting from wars mass annihilation of our "genetically most valuable elements" - reflecting of paranoia. -gap bw scientific and demographic advocates of negative eugenics and those engaged in making of policy in an austere financial climate. mass unemployment--> question of allocation of resources

rome/christianity was there social movement of slaves?

encouraged slaves to advance socially on their own terms, see some highly educated prior slaves ie spartucus origins of Judaism/Christianity see slavery as immoral

what became response to the social question of sTDs, insane, victims, alcoholics /jewish questtion

eugenics and racial hygiene

jews linked to liberalism and blacks liked to radical republicans

fate of Jews linked to fate of liberalism (decline of liberalism made Jews more vulnerable to anti-Semitic) just as rights of blacks similarly dependent on radical republicans who passed reconstruction acts (republican failure to prevent south from being democratic solidly and decline of influence of radical element within national party exposed blacks to white supremacist terror and Jim crow segregation)

predestination origins/by who/how similar to jewish religion?

father of Protestantism following him Calvin came w idea of predestination, according to this logic since god is all knowing, knows whether we are good people deep and therefore will be just. communal aspect assumption by Luther and Calvin that protestant ethics is to purify and good back to form of ethical Christianity before Christianity became corrupt. If good Christians work for favor Christian society rather than for benefit of group of corrupted priests. God has sense when born if born as a good or a bad Christian and in this respect part of what benefits good Christianity elect or not -similar to Jewish notion ancient times of being elected- as first monotheistic religion and why identify one god. Calvin goes back to this logic and tries to implement protestant idea of protestant people. If don't prove destiny will be punished by hell - must work hard to realize your destiny which was decided before you were even born

karl marx

father of modern communism and socialist- son of Jewish father, believed more than anything else of equal society. Deeply anti-religious, committed to secular society, get rid of materialism based on private property. Very critical about Judaism himself and says if go back in history see how they did not have other option than to become money lenders and suppressed. Argument that if modern Jew wants to overcome that history needs to assimilate into society, get rid of any Judaism ideas and throw out religion and become a secular citizen

fiante nationalism ideals

fiante says French rev only ended up w bloodshed too- identified letter of law the law w new spiritualism of German state. Nationalism for bloodshed and failure of the revolution. Form of radical nationalism would unite everyone and get rid of Jewish law and materialism that he identifies w both Jews and America. US as state of capitalistic economy - identified as Jewish materialism, anti-Semites call it "state of the Jews", conspiracy theories US trying to take over world w Jewish conspirators -identifies Core of nationalistic ideals that identifies the spiritual entity of the German state with the right blood. This is before entrance racial sciences, identifies beauty of German body and opposes contamination of German blood w Jews

us vs them during middle ages

focused on Christian identity vs Jewish minority - Christianity identified w state system at this point, formal religion of roman empire, defined Jewish minority. us=Christians.

popes reaction to crusades

formal church- pope etc. denounces this behavior on basis of witness doctrine and argues that Jews as Augustine taught us need to be eternal witness of defeat of Christianity so should not hurt the Jews, even when crusaders agreed with the church, peer pressure convinced them to undergo massacre anyways

davis vs frederickson in focus

frederickson- more poliitical/biological aspects davis- more social aspects ie social class, society in which slavery exists

hegel goal view on jews

goal to emancipate the individual from positive law so that necessary ordering of society became a product of love and freedom rather than subjection to an external law -property and contract imposed external constraints to freedom of the individual Says their mind is completely held fast to one side by legalism and contract. No freedom and virtually no humanity he claims

ethnology?

help ethnological discourse focused more than before of questions of whether human beings were of one blood or of five separately created species with greatly differing aptitudes and capacities American school of ethnology- three main races - whites blacks and American Indians- belonged to separately created and vastly unequal species

xenophobia is racism same thing as xenophobia

help the kind of group prejudice based on culture religion or sense of family/kinship xenophobia (reflexive feeling of hostility to stranger) racism not merely xenophobia and different than religious intolerance too - racism is not operative is members of the groups can voluntarily change their identities and change their prestige within the dominant group.

voltaire main points and resulting what is ideal?

his attempt to overcome distinctions bw different human beings/people is by talking about stock market as neutral relation bw human beings that does not have anything to do with ethnicity or religion- if look into candid through voice of slave how form of optimism - candide 1759 20 years later and showing through the slave how trade and stock market and can work in Europe but not outside of Europe or else tool for oppression instead of good =-why candid called candide or optimism- choosing whether to follow candid and spread of optimism that he sobers up from by the end or take after his mentor and trust optimism and ideals that don't really hold in reality =1734 stock market as ideal

hitler- which two ideologies did he fuse etc jewish question view on aryan race

hitler both fused and developed ideologies of anise and racism. Racial-hygienic measures only meaningful once the "Jewish question had been solving" all means therefore appropriate in necessary in fight against het Jew ... they were "spongers...parasites" aryans were most valuable race, if aryans race interbred with less valuable races would decline into extinction., health of Aryan race must be maintained and improved, only be meaningful if Jews both absolute enemy were isolated and eliminated either spatially or physically

karl marx vision

idea to exchange or militate against rather than aiding human and social life, imagines a society without private property, where money has not "become god", where property is for the sake of relation rather than exchange. Only such a simple society can realize "my true nature, my human nature, my communal nature"

paulician christianity

identify Judaism as people of the flesh aka materialism, vs people of the spirit (which goes hand in hand w Christian freedom).

innate characteristics beginning in middle ages w Jews

if Jew born during middle ages, even if try to get away from that identity- there is something in your blood that will overcome how you are innately (this is how racists think) i.e. Jews cannot ever be anything but Jews - innate characteristic is supposedly objective and universal pg. 5 -innate part of body and mind unity, history of institutions adopting this racism as their code or agenda and that is when racism becomes important, other is characterized in an essentialist way, emphasis on power, exclusion, expulsion of minority

law according to st paul

if you are a freeman a Christian, must resist the law, that he identifies w Judaism. French revs integrate this form of thinking into ideas, universal values and come to identify law as inherently bad/something that belongs to the past, identified w Jewish values

why christian idea to keep jews alive during middle ages

in attempt to criminalize Jewish minority on essentialist terms, Jews "inherently criminals" bc not Christian culture, idea that must keep them alive because they are the living proof for the victory of Christianity over the Jewish culture which was during (Augustine's rule time) - asks Christians to not hurt Jews

positive reinforcement

in master slave dialectics , takes away ability to form self-consciousness- dialectics is built on positive and negative- creating conflict be positive and negative is the only way to form consciousness. Positive reinforcement does not acknowledge right of the slave to resist/stand on own grounds. Tries to control the slave. Even if try to resist must do so in framework of master lots of totalitarian systems positive reinforcement occurs- i.e. in Nazi Germany "don't need critique" and "'need only optimism" serve purpose- so no doubt in the population. Critique points out flaws in system and people will just follow blindly if just positivity without really thinking about what's wrong with it, all control with no critique

Why did US not recognize/ratify genocide convention until

later 1988 Because racism in the south, segregation, etc. senators argued first genocide trial at UN convention if they adopted/ratified this convention and blocked passage because first trial would be against US due to lynching of blacks etc. ***************

weber three point contention in response to his readings on ie sombart

like Marx in beliefs but more modern. Classified as a liberal, helped to draft Weimar constitution of 1919. Understood threat of Judaism posed to liberal versions of modernity faith capable of reading the divine in the material. "Capitalist spirit" ??????help Weber had a number solution to his Jewish problem. 1. To delimit the impact of Judaism on Christianity through historical periodization .2. Insist on the falseness of any apparent similarities bc Judaism and Protestantism. That Jewish observance of law not same as protestant inner conviction. 3. Jewish economic activity was fundamentally different than protestant capitalism. that Jews had no ethical value to outcome of transactions w non-Jews -to conclude, asserted that not only were the Jews not real capitalists but there so isolated themselves that their activities contributed nothing to the economic and cultural transformation -weber argument here is opposed to Sombart- Christian rationalism and materialism was free from Jewish infection in his point.

secular enlightenment what did it change , what was age of democratic revolution

made color-coded racism based on science and set stage for 19th century biological determinism, but at same time established assumption of equality in this world which could call into question rationality of black slavery and Jewish ghettoization age of democratic revolution- doctrine that all men are created equal with rights derived from nature difficult to reconcile w forced servitude or ghettoization unless they were to be considered less than fully human.

how to marx and hegel refer to the evils of society

many thinkers like borne and Marx found it easy to theorize the evils of capitalism in terms of Jews and Judaism, just like non-Jews did rebellions against Jewish property, "Jewish "money "Jewish "state all meaningful- will produce the Judaism of society out of own parts/bodies

marx vs hegel

marx studied Hegel and identifies self as someone who realizes a lot of Hegel's ideas in reality but in contrast to Hegel who thinks synthesis of German state solution (fishte implementing), marx synthesis with the class structure, overcome materialism, fear of religion, that society divided bw rich and poor and that hierarchy is not required we just think it is, don't need all these contrasts that become conflict. Reorganize economy in an equal manner.

hegel 1700s/1800s - idea of "geist"

means both spirit and intellect, major part of his philosophy- idea that if able to use your intellect will become a full person and connect mind and spirit. *ideal aim to create something that is absolute/united. Idealism- strive to reach state of perfection. Hegel's point that this process cannot just occur on its own, need to think about it in a structured way. -dialectic system

shoretel ???? in Latin

means capital? animal/slave are part of cattle have as owner and have full rights as owner over the working body itself- can do whatever you want to it. Legally you own parts of slave's body and you can take them apart if you wish. Have lynches done something illegal then? No. followed cultural logic they were taught

internal vs external enemy in middle ages vs early modern period

middle ages- Jews an internal enemy, Muslims as external enemy and Christianity sees self as if defeat them both will become a global power early modern- jews as internal enemy, blacks as external enemy

symbolism of transubstantiation /result of this

movement bw spiritual and literal -takes place in 12th/13th century- massacres of Jews all over Europe. Around 1500 basically eliminates Jewish presence in Europe -either escape to other places i.e. northern Africa or killed. 1388-1520 expulsion of Jews from over 90 kingdoms in Europe --jewish question born

marx- what is most important in getting rid of materialism

need to organize idea of relationships bw human beings as most important -assumes that indeed exchange and materialism at core of modern society but need to understand has negative effect for society- alienation. Society that creates alienation among human beings that cannot Crete equality because of materialism

US racism- did they have the jewish question? which immigrants did they have a problem with ?

no Jewish question in US bc few Jews and religious toleration. Americans tended to racialized others and consider sleeves simply human and "all men" by declaration of independence - but during 1840s arrival of Irish immigrants and w war w Mexico- finer distinctions- Irish were legally white and so were Spanish. Belief took hold that loved liberty and showed aptitude for self govt not so much bc universal human traits bc white ancestors invested democratic institutions. Supporters of democratic party preferred to think of newly emerging American race which would be hybrid of all euro immigrant nationalities. But likely to be white supremacist and not tolerate any non-euro colored races -before turn of century when advocates of restricting immigration began to like the idea of northern euro superiority, Americans tried to embrace democratic universalism while also having Anglo-Saxon identity that referred to as simply European or white.

Weber's student Sombart- how doe she identify US/society

not as protestant society but as judaic corruption --logic that Sombart and weber talk about- alienation- Faber says protestant ethics builds society around that alienation. Very critical about American culture. Sombart on the other hand says alienation product of modern industry and gaps bw classes is evil conspiracy bw Jewish capitalists and that shaped US and whole globe around idea of material success. His idea in treaty that everything evil that happens as Jewish conspiracy controlling these events. Nazi state adopts Sombart's sociology in form of political program

development of germany romanticism/nationalism .. what happened in 1872?

notion that Germans identified on basis of belonging to national culture and defined by biological criteria/blood. Not by coincidence - after 1872/1873 economic crisis and Jews immediately pay the price

plato on slavery

notion that his ancient Greek philosophy that slavery is rational (even though Plato did not assume slavery was nonhuman) -ancient Greek slave is sometimes compared to hybrid creatures- people depicted as half animal and half human- which is somewhat different to way discussed in Judaism and Christianity

Max weber 1905

on basis of Marxist theories but not Marxist ideology but his structural analysis of society so wrote this book- without advocating Marxist ideology, perception of habit of thought. Thesis points to protestant culture and religion and secularization of protestant theology -argues protestants of modern era living in protestant culture- internalize protestant values. Tries to understand culture completely obsessed with materialism to his core. Not focused on class conflict but on cultural and social aspects of this.

how did view point of africans change during age of discovery

once 15th/16th century and age of exploration, discovery of other worlds =age of Reconquista not impressed at all when discover/explore africa and start to view pagans as inferior some people "naturally inclined to be enslaved" Whereas others say sure they're bad by blood but can still be Christianized bc ability to suffer and rationalize etc.

shortly, racism exists when...

one ethnic group dominates excludes or seeks to eliminate another on basis of differences that it believes hereditary and unalterable

slave socially speaking

one of the social death, person without a status, who cannot win partial rights within a society even, does not deserve the right to have rights bc does not belong to human society -see people who treat their animals better than they treat their slaves i.e. hitler was vegetarian -slave as ultimate incrementation of the foreigner, no right to have any say/ absolute other

polygenesis

curse of ham according to frederickson

possible rationale for holding Africans regardless of religious status was myth of curse of ham or canna - emphasis shifted to ham, widely believed to be ancestor of all Africans who in myth was punished to be servants unto servants- idea that physical result of blackening of the skin -earlier/ before this, curse variously applied onto i.e. Asians sometimes, Indians, but only in mid-15th century w Portuguese exploration attention drawn to possibility that the curse explained slavery -bw 16th and 19th century slave traders referred to cuss as explanation of why their slaves were black or African. Curse rationalized holding black Christians in bondage. Believed curse entered the blood so baptism or conversion did not help -to extent, curse of ham operated on mythology rather than formal ideology - refute by learned authorities who noted that curse fell on Canaan specifically on not on Cush, who, was actual African. So, used rarer in slavery before 19th century. Pro Slavery polemicists in US first to elaborate this?

king/monarchy relation to jews in history -2

see role of Jews through court that becomes one 1. theological obligation of king to defend Jews and keeping their safety as witnesses to victims of Christianity 2.king's right by god is to expel or kill all Jews whenever he chooses to, so responsible for their safety but on other hand has legitimacy religiously and politically to take advantage of them bc they are his property Identify Jews with power and legitimacy of the king -focusing on function of Jews for those interested in political power, symbol for king's authority- if you want to hurt the king you hurt his property/his Jews

jewish question

symbolic power of Jews as negative sign for Christianity grows even stronger even though eliminated most of Jews from where reside-why does symbolic function of them become even more powerful when they're not there? Don't really see them so paradoxically speaking easier to portray them as demonic/as people with horns bc never encounter them -Jews in most cases not allowed to look secular- supposed to wear traditional clothes to signify who they were to everyone else -Jews forced to look like Jews-like non-christians

conversos

those Jewish but forced to convert to Christianity but still held some Jewish practices- closer to modern racism- identified and discriminated against bc of belief held by some Christians that impurity of their blood made them incapable of true conversion. 14th century increased discrimination against Muslims and Jews which turned violent towards Jews at end of this century- Jews either convert, expelled from Spain, or killed -dominant view that after first generation conversos became believing Catholics, intermarriage w Christians but discrimination still- which was more racist than religious.
