Paul Lazarsfeld, Theodor W. Adorno och den kritiska teorins umgänge med positivistisk socialpsykologi, 1938–2022
Full text link[Paul Lazarsfeld, Theodor W. Adorno and Critical Theory’s engagement with positivist social psychology, 1938–2022]Fairly soon after The Authoritarian Personality was published in 1950, positive reviews were mixed with furious attacks, not least linked to Cold War anti-communist sentiment in the United States. However, some of the criticism also dealt with important and complex methodological issues. In the long run, it turned out that the composite method, with attitude surveys, interviews and psychological tests, used in The Authoritarian Personality did not gain many followers, while the book’s so-called F-scale came to be used in a very large number of studies on various subjects and still is widely used in developed forms. Mats Deland and Paul Fuehrer’s article follows the methodological development starting from a meeting between Paul Lazarsfeld and Theodor W. Adorno in the late 1930s, when the theoretical differences between the positivism and critical theory that together formed the basis of The Authoritarian Personality first were made clear, and ending in the 21st century’s modern attitude surveys carried out in Leipzig and Bielefeld.Publication history: Published original.(Published 23 November 2023)Citation: Deland, Mats & Paul Fuehrer (2023) “Paul Lazarsfeld, Theodor W.

En del av kritiken handlade emellertid också om viktiga och komplexa metodologiska spörsmål. På lång sikt visade det sig att den sammansatta metod, med attitydundersökningar, intervjuer och psykologiska tester, som användes i The Authoritarian Personality inte fick många efterföljare, medan bokens så kallade F-skala kom att användas i ett mycket stort antal studier i olika ämnen så att den fortfarande, i utvecklade former, i högsta grad är ett levande verktyg. Mats Delands och Paul Fuehrers artikel följer den metodologiska utvecklingen med utgångspunkt i ett möte mellan Paul Lazarsfeld och Theodor W. Adorno i slutet av 1930-talet, när de teoretiska meningsskiljaktigheterna mellan den positivism och kritiska teori som tillsammans låg till grund för The Authoritarian Personality först gjordes tydliga, fram till 2000-talets moderna attitydundersökningar i Leipzig och Bielefeld.Publiceringshistorik: Originalpublicering.(Publicerad 23 november 2023)Förslag på källangivelse: Deland, Mats & Paul Fuehrer (2023) ”Paul Lazarsfeld, Theodor W.

The British ‘Bluesman’ Paul Oliver and the Nature of Transatlantic Blues Scholarship
No full textRecent revisionist studies have argued that much of what is known about music known as the blues’ has been 'invented' by the writing of enthusiasts far removed from the African American culture that created the music. Elijah Wald and Marybeth Hamilton in particular have attempted to sift through the clouds of romanticism, and tried to unveil more empirical histories that were previously obscured by the fallacious genre distinctions conjured up during the 1960s blues revival. While this revisionist scholarship has shed light on some previously ignored historical facts, writers have tended to concentrate on the romanticism of blues writing strictly from an American perspective, failing to acknowledge the genesis and influence of transatlantic scholarship, and therefore ignoring the work of the most prolific and influential blues scholar of the twentieth century, British writer Paul Oliver. By examining the core of Oliver’s research and writing during the 1950s and 1960s, this study aims to place Oliver in his rightful place at the centre of blues historiography. His scholarship allows a more detailed appreciation of the manner in which the blues was studied, through lyrics, recordings, oral histories, photography and African American literature. These historical sources were interpreted in accordance with the author’s attitudes to the commercial popular music, which allowed the ‘reconstruction’ of an African American ‘folk’ culture in which the blues became the antithesis of pop. Importantly, this study seeks to transcend dominant discourses of national cultural ownership or ethnocentrism, and demonstrate that representations of African American music and culture were constructed within a transatlantic context. The blues is music with roots in the African American experience within the United States; however, as Paul Oliver’s writing shows, its reception and representation were not limited by the same national, cultural or racial boundaries
The Holocaust Poetry of John Berryman, Sylvia Plath and W.D. Snodgrass
Full text linkJohn Berryman, Sylvia Plath and W. D. Snodgrass are each commonly associated with the poetic movement known as ‘confessionalism’ which emerged in the USA in the late 1950s and early 1960s. They did not, however, write works of undiluted autobiography; through close readings of their Holocaust verse, I take the poetry, rather than the lives of the poets, to be the ultimate authority on what they had to say about history, about the ethics of representing historical atrocity in art, and about the ‘existential’ questions that the Nazi genocide raises.
Chapter 1 offers the first sustained analysis of Berryman’s unfinished collection of Holocaust poems, The Black Book (1948 - 1958) - one of the earliest engagements by an American writer with this particular historical subject. In my second chapter I look at some of Plath’s fictionalised dramatic monologues, which, I argue, offer self-reflexive meditations on representational poetics, the commercialisation of the Holocaust, and the ways in which the event reshapes our understanding of individual identity and culture. My third chapter focuses on W. D. Snodgrass’s The Fuehrer Bunker (1995) - a formally inventive cycle of dramatic monologues spoken by leading Nazi ministers, which can be read as an heuristic text whose ultimate objective is the moral instruction of its readers.
Finally, I suggest that while all three poets offer distinct responses to the Holocaust, they each consider how non-victims approach the genocide through acts of identification. For Snodgrass, it is important that we do identify with the perpetrators, who were not all that different from ourselves; for Berryman and Plath, however, the difficulty of identifying with the victims marks out the limits of historical understanding

Inledning
No full textDet här specialnumret, den fjärde volymen i serien Det vita fältet som samlar svensk och internationell forskning om högerextremism, utgår ifrån den berömda boken The Authoritarian Personality från 1950 av Theodor W. Adorno, Else Frenkel-Brunswik, Daniel J. Levinson och R. Nevitt Sanford. I en tid när högerpopulism och högerextremism åter växer sig starka på båda sidor av Atlanten har den bokens huvudfråga om vad som gör människor mottagliga för fascistisk propaganda fått en ny och skrämmande aktualitet. Numret innehåller förutom översatta kapitel av Adorno och Frenkel-Brunswik också flera omfattande kommenterande artiklar av Anders Ramsay, Mats Deland, Paul Fuehrer och Erik Hansson om bakgrunds- och tillkomsthistorien för boken tillsammans med analyser av vad den verkligen försöker säga oss samt dess inflytande på senare forskning
