        Time and radical politics in France

        From the Dreyfus Affair to the First World War

        by Alexandra Paulin-Booth

        This book investigates how people have thought about and experienced time, and how their ideas about time have shaped their political views and actions. Using French thinkers and activists of the radical left and right between the Dreyfus Affair and the First World War as a case study, it argues that time provides an important means of exploring how concepts such as nationalism, revolution and social change were understood at the turn of the century. Attending to different experiences of time - the speed at which it was perceived to move, the extent to which the future was near and graspable, the ways in which the past was seen to impinge on the present - opens up exciting new possibilities for analysing politics, ideologies and worldviews.

        DIE HERBERGE

        by Arye Dreyfus

        DIE HERBERGE: Schicksalsbegegnungen in einer Wüstenoase Arye Dreyfus In einem felsigen, halb vergessenen Teil des Negevs beherbergt eine abgelegene Herberge Menschen, die sich völlig aufgegeben haben. Der Ort hat weder eine therapeutische Struktur noch die Weisheit einer Führungspersönlichkeit zu bieten. Es gibt keine politischen oder religiösen Bindungen und keine öffentliche finanzielle Unterstützung – keine Hemmschwellen für Neve Dror, und jeden Morgen gelingt es seinen Besuchern, ein neues menschliches Mosaik zu schaffen. Erstaunlicherweise wird das ungeschriebene Motto der Herberge „Du bist alles, was du hast“ öfter wahr. Männer und Frauen, Jung und Alt, internationale Prominente und soziale Außenseiter, agnostische Juden und gläubige Christen, lokale Geschäftsleute, Startups und reiche ausländische Erben gehen in diesem Wüstenrefugium ein und aus. Jeder Besucher ist zu erfahren im Umgang mit der Welt, um zu erwarten, dass die Narben auf seinem Rücken an diesem exotischen Zufluchtsort schnell verschwinden würden. Und doch werden Träume in der rauen Umgebung immer wieder zur Realität und Resignation gilt als Häresie. In diesem abgelegenen Teil der Welt, im Desert Inn, ist nichts illusorisch, nicht einmal eine unmögliche Liebesgeschichte zwischen einem vatikanischen Priester und einem israelischen Friseur. Die Herberge in Neve Dror ist jedoch keine erfundene Legende. Diese Geschichte beruht auf tatsächlichen Gegebenheiten.  Arye Dreyfus, in Frankreich geborener Lehrer, beschreibt eine erschreckende Realität, doch sein sonnig israelisches Gemüt hat auch immer einen Blick für das Schöne. Er ist ein versierter Pädagoge und hauptsächlich in Europa und Afrika unterwegs. Er verurteilt nichts und romantisiert nichts, er erzählt nur eloquent die Geschichte einer dekadenten Gesellschaft, die fünfzig Jahre später nicht bereit zu sein scheint, sich mit ihrer eigenen Unbeständigkeit auseinanderzusetzen. Eine englischsprachige eBook Edition wurde Mitte 2018 veröffentlicht. 266 Seiten, 14 x 20,5 cm.

        THE INN: Twists and Turns in a Desert Oasis

        by Arye Dreyfus

        In a rocky, half-forgotten part of the Negev, an isolated inn shelters people who feel they have let themselves waste away. The battered site doesn’t offer the amenities of a structured therapeutic doctrine or the benefits of a sage’s wisdom. There are no political or religious allegiances or any public financial support—no inhibiting barriers taint Neve Dror, and every morning its visitors succeed in creating a new human mosaic. Amazingly, the inn’s unwritten motto, “You are all you have,” comes true more often than not. Men and women, young and old, international celebrities and social underdogs, agnostic Jews and devout Christians, self-made local businessmen and rich foreign heirs all rub shoulders with one another as equals in their foster desert home. Each visitor is too wise to the ways of the world to expect the scars on his or her back to quickly melt away in this strange new haven. And yet, despite the harsh surroundings, dreams breezily transform into reality and resignation becomes heresy. In this distant part of the world, at the desert inn, nothing is illusory, not even an impossible love story between a Vatican priest and an Israeli hairdresser. The inn at Neve Dror, however, is not another invented legend; this tale is a mere description of events.  Arye Dreyfus, a teacher born in France, describes dire facts, but his Israeli nature doesn’t let these facts merge into an apparently hopeless situation. He is an accomplished educator and envoy to various discreet missions, mainly in Europe and Africa. He doesn’t condemn or condone, he just eloquently unfolds a story of a decadent society that fifty years later doesn’t seem ready to come to terms with its own inconstancy. An English-language eBook Edition was published  in mid-2018. 266 pages, 14X20.5 cm.

        Human remains and mass violence

        Methodological approaches

        by Jean-Marc Dreyfus, Élisabeth Anstett, Jean-Marc Dreyfus, Élisabeth Anstett

        This book outlines for the first time in a single volume the theoretical and methodological tools for a study of human remains resulting from episodes of mass violence and genocide. Despite the highly innovative and contemporary research into both mass violence and the body, the most significant consequence of conflict - the corpse - remains absent from the scope of existing research. Why have human remains hitherto remained absent from our investigation, and how do historians, anthropologists and legal scholars, including specialists in criminology and political science, confront these difficult issues? By drawing on international case studies including genocides in Rwanda, the Khmer Rouge, Argentina, Russia and the context of post-World War II Europe, this ground-breaking edited collection opens new avenues of research. Multidisciplinary in scope, this volume will appeal to readers interested in an understanding of mass violence's aftermath, including researchers in history, anthropology, sociology, law, politics and modern warfare. ;
