Zentrum für Antisemitismusforschung/Arbeitsstelle Jugendgewalt und Rechtsextremismus in Verbindung mit dem Berliner Arbeitskreis für Beziehungsanalyse
Adoleszenzkonflikte [in German]
05.-06.07.2001, Technische Universität Berlin, Hauptgebaeude, H 1035 und H 2036
Die Diskussion um Ursachen und Wirkungen von jugendlicher Gewaltbereitschaft und Rechtsextremismus ist weithin auf die Täter fixiert. In einem interdisziplinaeren Ansatz, der Sozialwissenschaftler, Psychologen, Psychoanalytiker und Historiker zusammenfuehrt, soll
das Problem in seinen tieferen Dimensionen betrachtet werden. Jugendliche Gewaltbereitschaft und Demokratiefeindschaft muessen im Zusammenhang von Adoleszenzkonflikten, die immer auch Erwachsenenkonflikte sind, betrachtet werden. Eine Perspektive, die nicht nur Jugendliche als Taeter, sondern ebenso die Erwachsenen in den Blick nimmt, die nicht nur nach dem Verhalten junger Menschen fragt, sondern die Reaktionen und Motivationen der Erwachsenen einbezieht, die auch der spezifischen Dynamik zwischen den Generationen Rechnung traegt, hat groessere Chancen, fuer die akuten Probleme der Gesellschaft langfristige Loesungen zu finden, als taeterfixierter Aktionismus auf der Suche nach Patentrezepten.

Arbeitsstelle Jugendgewalt und Rechtsextremismus
Aufs ganze gesehen sind Rechtsextremismus und Fremdenfeindlichkeit keine jugendtypischen Phaenomene. Die Auseinandersetzung mit derartigen "´normalen´ Pathologien von freiheitlichen Industriegesellschaften" (Scheuch/Klingemann) darf deshalb nicht auf die Arbeit mit Jugendlichen beschraenkt werden. Andererseits weisen aber Rechtsextremismus und Fremdenfeindlichkeit seit der deutschen Vereinigung auch deutlich jugendspezifische Zuege auf. Die Existenz einer demonstrativen rechtsextrem orientierten und gewalttaetigen Jugendkultur ist dafuer der sichtbarste Beleg.
Eine offensive Auseinandersetzung mit dieser un- und antizivilen Kultur erfordert eine praezise Analyse der Ueberlagerung von politischen und jugendlichen Dynamiken in diesem Feld.
Die Arbeitsstelle Jugendgewalt und Rechtsextremismus (AJR) ist als eine Schnittstelle zwischen der politischen und paedagogischen Praxis einerseits und der wissenschaftlichen Praxis andererseits konzipiert. Ihre Aufgabe besteht primaer in der Durchfuehrung von Beratungen, der Informationsvermittlung und der Erarbeitung von Fortbildungsangeboten. Die Zielgruppe der AJR sind die freien und oeffentlichen Traeger der Jugendhilfe und die Dienststellen der Bundeslaender Berlin und Brandenburg. In enger Zusammenarbeit mit Sozialpaedagogen und anderen in der Jugendarbeit Taetigen führt die AJR auch eigene Forschungen in Berlin und Brandenburg durch.
Trotz Foerderungszusagen des Senats von Berlin ist die AJR aufgrund der Haushaltssituation des Landes Berlin derzeit nicht voll funktionsfaehig.

Historische Gerechtigkeit / Historical Justice
12.-14.07.2001, Einstein Forum, Am Neuen Markt 7, D-14467 Potsdam
Wissenschaftliche Leitung:
Prof. Dr. Chaim Gans, Tel Aviv
Dr. Lukas Meyer, Bremen und Cambridge, Mass.
Lassen sich aus historischen Ungerechtigkeitserfahrungen Ansprueche an die Gegenwart und Zukunft ableiten? Legitimieren sie die Forderung nach nationaler Selbstbestimmung, kultureller oder politischer Autonomie; rechtfertigen sie den Ruf nach Kompensation, "Affirmative Action" oder nach Sanktionen? Welche Institutionen stehen hierfuer zur Verfügung, und welche Chancen der Erfuellung dieser Ansprueche bieten sich damit? Auf der Suche nach einer übergreifenden normativen Standortbestimmung duerfen jedoch die besonderen Merkmale konkreter Konflikte nicht aus dem Blick geraten. Es bedarf also der interdisziplinaeren Zusammenarbeit von Philosophen und Historikern sowie Rechts- und Sozialwissenschaftlern: in international vergleichender Perspektive widmet sich die Tagung "Historische Gerechtigkeit" einem zentralen Problem unserer Zeit.

Beitraege von: George Fletcher (New York), Andreas Føellesdal (Oslo), Chaim Gans (Tel Aviv), Jaime Malamud Goti (Buenos Aires), David Heyd (Jerusalem), Axel Honneth (Frankfurt am Main), Christoph Menke (Potsdam), Lukas Meyer (Bremen und Cambridge/Mass.), Georg Mohr (Bremen), Claus Offe (Berlin), Thomas Pogge (New York), Ulrike Poppe (Berlin), Ulrich K.

International and multidisciplinary Conference
Mars in Ascendant: The Great War and the Twentieth Century
31.07.-04.08.2001, University College Northampton/UK
There has not been a conference in the United Kingdom concerned with the implications of the Great War since 1994. In the interim period a great many new discoveries have been made with regard to Great War figures and events. For example, the revelations arising from the opening of the British Government’s Great War archives as well as the revisionist theories as to the causes and results of the War put forth in Niall Ferguson’s "The Pity of War" all demand attention.
The conference will run for five days. On the first evening there will be registration and a welcoming banquet. The second day will focus on the cultural aspects of the Great War (changes in society, women’s role, modernism). The third day will be a history session held in London at the Imperial War Museum, and will include a dinner at the Museum. The fourth day, back in Northampton, will be devoted to literature. The final day will be dedicated to art and cinema. Each morning a keynote speaker will deliver an hour-long address about the general subject area; concurrent sessions will follow until 4.30pm or later each day. Evening events will include talks and round tables, a concert of Great War music, a Great War poetry reading, films, and other events. Various displays and bookstalls will be on hand as well.

An Interdisciplinary Conference on
Psychiatry and Eugenics in the 19th and 20th Centuries. Switzerland in the European-American Context
17.-22.02.2002, Centro Stefano Franscini, Monte Verità, Ascona, Switzerland
Organizers:
Prof. Dr. phil. Regina Wecker (Basel), Prof. Dr. phil. Jakob Tanner (Zuerich), Prof. Dr. med. Daniel Hell (Zuerich), Prof. Dr. phil. Doris Kaufmann (Bremen)

Conference fee:
CHF 610.- including board and lodging (5 days), grants available

The Conference Topic:
In various European countries and in the Unites States, the development of psychiatry and the history of eugenics have increasingly become the focus of public interest. Historical studies that focussed on the role of psychiatric experts and institutions in implementing eugenic measures contributed to this phenomenon. The area of social welfare received equal attention as the laws on sterilization and the international organizations of the scientific community.
The research results now available clearly show that the connection between psychiatry, racial hygiene, and eugenics is much more complex than a discussion focussing on the Third Reich and the holocaust had us suspect. After 1933, eugenic efforts in Germany merged with National Socialist dictatorship, were made to serve anti-Semitism and the racial politics of the government, and opened up new areas of political activity. Towards the end of the 19th century, when "negative eugenics" became popular, a clearly defined, political orientation of this socio-technological project could not as yet be discerned however. As a social movement, eugenics was at the same time an expression of a belief in progress, which found a great echo in the workers' movement, as well as a reaction to the fear of degeneration and decadence which became gradually more intensive at that time. In Scandinavia, eugenic efforts developed after World War I in close interaction with the genesis of the modern welfare state, for which the thought of prevention was a constitutive factor. Other democratic countries, too, such as Switzerland and the United States, showed how a definition of democracy aiming for a healthy populace and theories of inheritance worked together and caused the race-based exclusion of cultural minorities. Beyond all social and political differences though, ideas of social "normality" and strategies of scientific legitimation are discernible that clearly show why the eugenic measures implemented by the Nazi regime found a positive echo until the 30s in most countries.
In the international field of eugenics, Switzerland was not only a "Mitlaeufer" or collaborator; its scientists - such as e.g. the manager of the Zurich psychiatric clinic of "Burghoelzli", Auguste Forel, or Basel psychiatrist and human geneticist Ernst Ruedin - belonged among the pioneers of a scientific paradigm of eugenics. Based on the Swiss development, the cognitive dimensions of psychiatry and eugenics may help explain the debates on and metaphors of a healthy population and the role of the scientific community, institutions, and international networks. The question always was whether and, if so, how the U.S., Great Britain, Switzerland, and Scandinavia differed from Nazi Germany as to the social role of psychiatry and eugenics. And while there was a substantial consensus in these countries as to basic scientific convictions, what continued role did they play after 1945? How closely related were psychiatry and eugenics? And how did psychiatry use public demand for eugenic measures to professionalize and implement itself as an independent scientific discipline? What significance did gender have for the developing concepts of illness, the scientification of classification systems and the rate of measures actually taken? What changed at the beginning of the 70s, when semantics and the practice of racial hygiene and eugenics began to change? What references may be made between today's discussions on pre-implantation diagnostics and prenatal therapy, which open up new possibilities of positive eugenics (or the optimization of mankind's gene pool) and negative eugenics (or a prevention of genetically transmitted illnesses)?

Organizational Structure and Conference Agenda:
The conference is based on a comparative perspective which is to enable contributions to the history of the scientific, institutional, gender-related, and social aspects of psychiatry and eugenics of the various countries and compare them. There will be four blocks of topics with synoptical lectures as well as additional lectures on current studies.
Participants are to be given an opportunity to put their (planned or current) projects up for discussion and discuss methodological and theoretical problems of research.

Conference languages:
German and English.

Registration:
Registration for the conference until latest November 10th, 2001. The definitive conference programme will be available in August 2001. Registration or additional information available from: Regina Wecker and Jakob Tanner.

Lectures and Seminars

The Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation
What is Racism? Public Seminar
25.07.2001, 9.00 for 9.30-11h30, Sunnyside Park Hotel (at the Attic), Princess of Wales Terrace, Parktown
Speakers:
Dr Barney Pityana, Chairperson, South African Human Rights Commission; Basil Manning, Chairperson, Centre for Anti-Racism and Anti-Sexism (CARAS) Trust; Dr Franz Auerbach, a community worker and freelance journalist who has focused on racism in South Africa as well as on the Nazi holocaust.
One of the five themes on the agenda of the upcoming World Conference Against Racism deals with understanding contemporary forms and manifestations of racism. Whilst we are preparing to host the World Conference, South Africans are also beginning to grapple with how to address the problem of racism inside South Africa. But despite the extensive history of racism in South Africa, we do not necessarily share a common understanding about what racism is or how it is currently manifested. Controversial issues include questions around the relationship between racism and power, whether racism is the preserve of specific groups in South Africa, and questions to do with how we can recognise both subtle and overt forms of racism.
The seminar is therefore intended to promote greater understanding about what we mean when we are talking about racism. There is clearly a need to engage constructively with racism in South Africa. Developing a common vision of the nature of the problem may assist in focusing our efforts towards achieving this objective.
As spaces are limited, please RSVP before 20/07. For directions or further information, contact Caron Kgomo on (011) 403 5650 or via

The editors of IDEA, A Journal of Social Issues, are pleased to announce the publication of a major article by Dr. Israel Charney: "The Psychological Satisfaction of Denials of the Holocaust or Other Genocides by Non-Extremists or Bigots, and Even by Known Scholars" at
URL http://www.ideajournal.com/charny-denials.html
This article was first given as a major paper at the "Remembering the Future" conference at Oxford, 2001. It is, to our knowledge, the first attempt to create a typology of holocaust and genocide denial, that is to describe discreet categories of denial. It also may very well have wide application in social psychology, and even psychotherapy, where this type of distinction, is sorely needed.
Israel W. Charny is the Editor-in-Chief of The Encyclopedia of Genocide; Executive Director of the Institute on the Holocaust and Genocide; Professor of Psychology & Family Therapy, and Founder and Former Director of the Program for Advanced Studies in Integrative Psychotherapy at the Dept. of Psychology & Martin Buber Center, Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
