The Historical-Critical Dictionary of Marxism (HCDM) is a
comprehensive Marxist lexicon, which in the 9 German-language
volumes concluded so far has involved over 800 scholars from around
the globe. Conceived by philosopher Wolfgang Fritz Haug in 1983,
the first volume of the ongoing lexicon project was published in
1994. This first English-language selection introduces readers to
the HCDM’s wide range of terms: besides Marxist concepts,
approached from a plural standpoint and stressing feminist,
ecological, and internationalist perspectives, it boasts entries on
the histories of social movements, theoretical schools, as well as
cultural, political, philosophical, and aesthetic debates.

Frigga Haug, one of Germany's best-known feminist and Marxist
critics, develops here a profound challenge both to women's
oppression and to what she sees as women's 'collusion' in that
oppression. Rejecting the essentialism of much feminist writing
today, along with the denial of subjectivity that still permeates
Marxism, Haug explores the connections between Marxist theory and
the emancipation of women, a project which necessarily involves, as
she explains, "diverting a powerful and long-standing anger into
detective work." Under the headings of Socialization, Work and
Politics, she combines the fruits of these investigations with the
influential "memory-work" she has pioneered with women's
collectives, to throw startling new light on a wide range of themes
and issues: personal ethics and public morality; daydreams,
domesticity and consumerism; privatization, new technologies and
the restructuring of the workplace; the evolution of women's
politics in Germany; the future of socialist feminism in the wake
of Communism's collapse. Above all, this is a book which strives to
find new links between the micro-politics of daily life and the
evolving structures of capitalism. "If we could find out why and
when our hopes for life were buried," Haug argues, "then we could
try to take our history in our own hands." Beyond Female Masochism
provides the materials, and inspiration, to do just that.
Die Hochschule fUr Wirtschaft und Politik Hamburg, 1948 als
Akademie fUr Ge meinwirtschaft gegriindet, ist eine
wissenschaftliche Hochschule, die eine integrierte wirtschafts- und
sozialwissenschaftliche Ausbildung in den Fachern Betriebswirt
schaftslehre, Rechtswissenschaft, Soziologie und
Volkswirtschaftslehre vermittelt. Die Struktur der Hochschule wird
dadurch besonders gepragt, dag an ihr Studenten mit abgeschlossener
Berufsausbildung oder mehrjahriger Berufspraxis nach einer
Aufnahmepriifung gemeinsam mit Studenten mit nur schulischer
Zugangsberechti gung studieren, insofern ist sie die einzige
wissenschaftliche Hochschule des zweiten Bildungsweges in der
Bundesrepublik. Die guten Beziehungen zwischen der Hochschule und
den Organisationen der Arbeitnehmer bestehen seit der Griindung der
Vorlauferinstitution, an der Gewerk schafter wie Genossenschafter
maggeblichen Anteil hatten. Dies setzt bis heute auch Akzente fUr
die Arbeit der Wissenschaftler der Hochschule in Forschung und
Lehre. So kooperiert die Hochschule fUr Wirtschaft und Politik z.B.
in verschiede nen Forschungsprojekten mit gewerkschaftlichen
Organisationen und fUhrt einzelne Lehrveranstaltungen durch, an
denen auch Arbeitnehmer gemeinsam mit den Studenten teilnehmen. Der
nun vorliegende Band "Wissenschaft und Arbeitnehmerinteressen" des
J ahrbuchs fUr Sozialokonomie und Gesellschaftstheorie enthait
Aufsatze zu einigen der vielen Beriihrungspunkte zwischen
Hochschule und Arbeitswelt, die exemplarisch fUr die Verflechtung
zweier scheinbar so entfernt liegender Teilbereiche unserer Gesell
schaft sind."
Foregrounding the body, this remarkable collective work explores
the sexualization of women's bodies, charting the complex interplay
of social, political and cultural forces which produce a normative
"femininity." A series of projects which focus on concrete
instances of sexualization (hair, legs, the slavegirl stereotype,
women's gymnastics) lead to a broader examination of the
relationship between power and sexuality, the social and the
psychological. Placing themselves at the crossroad where feminism
and socialism meet, the contributors move seamlessly between the
autobiographical and the analytical, questioning the diversion
between personal and political, mapping the knot of memory and
desire at the heart of the gendered body. Vitally, these accounts
do not present sexualization as a passive inculcation of social
norms: the individual is presented as taking an active role in the
construction of gendered identities.
Building on the early leadership of Frigga Haug in her
groundbreaking Female Sexualization: A Collective World of Memory
(1987), this book provides a collection of contemporary
perspectives on memory-work from researchers in Australia, Canada,
Germany, New Zealand, Norway, and the United States, and from the
disciplines of education, marketing, sociology, psychology,
masculinity studies and social work practice. With respect to the
method itself, the authors considered emerging issues and describe
the ways in which they have altered or appropriated the method,
researcher voice and authority, and consistency between the aims of
memory-work and their research. Part I focuses on Frigga Haug's
evolving method. In Part II, the different ways in which
memory-work has been variously applied in specific domains are
explored by Betty Johnston (mathematical identities), Glenda
Koutroulis (menstruation), Karin Widerberg (research and teaching),
Bob Pease (practices of profeminist men to promote change), Naomi
Norquay (immigration stories and social awareness), Judith Kaufman
(teacher socialization) and Mary FitzPatrick, Lorraine Friend, and
Carolyn Costley (marketing research).
