Friedrich Engels: desentrañando la ciudad capitalista
No full textFriedrich Engels' individual work is the first sociological approach to urban development since he analyses it both as an expression of the capitalist mode of production and as a catalyst for it and its contradictions. In his The Housing Question, Engels analyses the causes of such a problem to contradict the proposals for its resolution within the framework of capitalism. In the process, Engels describes dynamics that a century later urban sociology will call gentrification. This article highlights the way in which Engels, within the framework of his broad reflection on housing and capitalism, makes an early detection of the central elements of gentrification and places them in relation to other questions that have been central objects of classic and contemporary urban sociology: hygienism, the city as a space for collective consumption, the extension of homeownership, the financialization of housing and the right to the city.La obra individual de Friedrich Engels es la primera aproximación sociológica al desarrollo urbano, dado que lo analiza tanto como expresión del modo de producción capitalista como catalizador de este y sus contradicciones. En su Contribución al problema de la vivienda, Engels analiza las causas de tal problema para contradecir las propuestas de su resolución en el marco del capitalismo. En el proceso, Engels describe dinámicas a las que un siglo más tarde la sociología urbana llamará gentrificación. En este artículo se destaca el modo en que Engels, en el marco de su reflexión amplia sobre vivienda y capitalismo, realiza una detección precoz de los elementos centrales de la gentrificación y los pone en relación con otras cuestiones que han sido objetos centrales de la sociología urbana clásica y contemporánea: el higienismo, la ciudad como espacio de consumo colectivo, la extensión de la propiedad inmobiliaria, la financiarización de la vivienda y el derecho a la ciudad
Marx e Engels como sociólogos da religião Marx and Engels as sociologists of religion
No full textMais do que a questão da crítica marxista da alienação religiosa interessa neste artigo a contribuição de Marx e Engels à sociologia dos fatos religiosos.

O artigo procura mostrar no que consiste essa surpresa.More than the question of the Marxist critique of religious alienation this article deals with Marx and Engels' contribution to the sociology of religious facts. A clear view of this field could surprise us, writes the author. The article tries to show the nature of this surprise
Friedrich Engels Zwischen Anthropologie und Sprachwissenschaft
No full textSummary
The author aims to show that Friedrich Engels’ linguistic researches, especially in his Der fränkische Dialekt, are to be considered within the same theoretical framework of historic materialism which underlies his more comprehensive studies on the history of primitive peoples, such as the ancient Germanic or Celtic tribes. The main difference, however, between Engels’ so-cio-anthropological and his linguistic studies is that for the latter he did not elaborate an evolution model based on the theories of Darwin or L. H. Morgan, for instance, which clearly underlie the former. On the contrary, Engels’ linguistic investigation of his own dialect is ‘data-oriented’ in a very pragmatic way. This is to be seen also as a reaction against the rigid schematism of the neogrammarian school; thus Engels polemicizes against Wilhelm Braune who took the second consonant shift as the only and conclusive criterion for classifying the German dialects. Nevertheless repeated statements in Engels’ correspondence and other writings make it clear that he was fully aware of the fact that historical linguistics – and especially the comparative method – had inaugurated a new chapter in the history of language study. Parallels between Engels’ linguistic investigations and his socio-anthropological studies can be shown to exist not at the more superficial level of techniques of analysis, but rather at a deeper one: both are part of a global ‘science of man’ and to be based on a materialistic and dialectic point of view.</jats:p
Engels and Marx's Capital: a Present-Day Viewpoint
No full textIn recent years, discussions around Marx’s Capital have been mainly related to assessment of the Engels’ role in publication of the second and third volumes of Capital, left by Marx in the form of unfinished draft manuscripts. A new impetus to these discussions was given by publication of all draft manuscripts and lifetime editions of Capital in the Complete Edition of the Works of K. Marx and F. Engels in the original language (Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe / MEGA). Critics of Engels refer to textual differences between Marx’s manuscripts and the editions of Capital, published by Engels’, and argue that Engels simplified, and in some cases distorted Marx’s fundamental propositions. The article highlights the main trends of the current criticism of Engels’ editorial work. As one of the editors of Marx’s manuscripts of Capital, Book II, in the MEGA, the author characterizes the main points of Engels’ editorial work, shows the problems associated with the preparation of the draft manuscripts of Capital for publication. The article provides a conclusion concerning the factors that determined the Engels’ editorial work on the second and third volumes of Capital and shows the significance of the MEGAedition for study of this subject
Friedrich Engels on equality and its ambiguity
No full textEngels continues Marx’s work, although there are some important differences. As long as State and Law are taken in account by Anti-Düring’s author, he has in mind the matter of equality as a very important one. Engels criticizes the State and the Law, but, simultaneously, has them as a point of depart to workers daily struggle against Capitalism. To Friedrich Engels, the critique of Law, thus, is a key aspect, once the relationship between legal equality and social and economical equality emerges as an important matter in the critique of Capitalism.Tendo em conta a diferença específica entre a obra engelsiana e a marxiana, trataremos da situação peculiar de Engels enquanto continuador da obra de Marx. O autor do Anti-Düring adentra os meandros do Estado e do Direito de modo a enfocar a questão da igualdade enquanto central às lutas que permeiam a sociedade capitalista. Com isso, passando pela crítica ao Direito e ao Estado, em Engels, estes últimos seriam extremamente criticáveis e, ao mesmo tempo, precisariam ser tomados como ponto de partida nas lutas cotidianas dos trabalhadores. Com isso, juntamente ao se realizar a crítica à concepção jurídica de mundo, ter-se-ia a possibilidade de uma compreensão cuidadosa acerca da relação existente entre a igualdade jurídica e a igualdade econômica e social
Low-Cost RFID Systems: Confronting Security and Privacy
No full textCopyright © September 2005In the implementation of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems concerns have been raised regarding information security and violations of end-user privacy. There is a large collection of literature available on efficient and inexpensive cryptographic engines, but they are still extravagant solutions for low cost RFID systems. Security and privacy provided by low cost RFID is both directly and indirectly limited by a number of factors that are unique to low cost RFID. This paper examines security and privacy issues regarding RFID and presents the challenges that arise in view of the unique environment presented by low cost RFID systems.Damith C.

The Communist Manifesto
No full textThe Communist Manifesto (1888 English edition) opens by declaring that a "spectre of Communism is haunting Europe". Authors Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels state their goal is to openly publish the party's "views, their aims, their tendencies". The first chapter posits that "the history of all hitherto existing societies is the history of class struggles". Modern society has simplified this antagonism into two great, hostile classes: the Bourgeoisie and the Proletariat. The bourgeoisie, born from feudalism, is a revolutionary class that "has put an end to all feudal... relations", leaving only "naked self-interest". It "cannot exist without constantly revolutionising the instruments of production" and has created a "world-market". However, this system suffers from crises of "over-production".Komünist Manifesto (1888 İngilizce baskısı), "Avrupa'da bir hayaletin-Komünizm hayaletinin-dolaştığını" ilan ederek açılır. Yazarlar Karl Marx ve Friedrich Engels, amaçlarının partinin "görüşlerini, hedeflerini, eğilimlerini" açıkça yayınlamak olduğunu belirtir. İlk bölüm, "şimdiye kadarki tüm toplumların tarihinin, sınıf mücadeleleri tarihi olduğunu" öne sürer. Modern toplum bu karşıtlığı iki büyük, düşman sınıfa indirgemiştir: Burjuvazi ve Proletarya. Feodalizmden doğan burjuvazi, "tüm feodal... ilişkileri sona erdiren" , geriye yalnızca "çıplak kişisel çıkar" bırakan devrimci bir sınıftır. "Üretim araçlarını sürekli devrimcileştirmeden var olamaz" ve bir "dünya pazarı" yaratmıştır. Ancak bu sistem, "aşırı üretim" krizlerinden muzdariptir. Burjuvazi "kendisine ölüm getiren silahları dövmüş" ve kendi "mezar kazıcılarını": proletaryayı "var etmiştir"
