But it is in the consideration of his third argument concerning ideology and class consciousness that the weakness of Dr. McKibbon's essentially institutional analysis shows through. The most controversial element in the New Constitution was Clause Four, urging collective ownership of the means of production and democratic control of industry. The author is no doubt right to reemphasize that Jimmy Thomas, Havelock Wilson and other right-wing trade union leaders, as ardent patriots in the war, were basically opposed to collectivism as an ideology. He may well also be right to point out that they accepted Clause Four reluctantly as the price they had to pay in order to maintain control of the Labour Party. But it is going too far to suggest that Clause Four was inserted simply \"as a sop to the professional bourgeoisie\" (p. 97). After all it was not primarily Fabian or other middle class radical votes which swelled the Labour total in the December 1918 election from a pre-war figure of half a million to 2,374,000. It was the votes of hundreds of thousands of ordinary workingmen who had been disaffected by a multiplicity of factors war-weariness, inflation, strikes, the Irish upheaval, Bolshevism, perhaps even the ongoing religious decline of Nonconformity which Dr. McKibbon's largely institutional analysis by definition cannot touch. The difficulty comes out most clearly in what the author regards as his \"paradoxical\" conclusion that \"one of the most highly class-conscious working classes in the world produced a party whose appeal was intended to be classless\". This is only a paradox if one neglects to recognize the fact that most trade union leaders are likely to be economist in their outlook most of the time, and then assumes the motivation of the rank-and-file to be identical to that of the leaders. On the scanty evidence of the failure of the Daily Herald to succeed as a mass, socialist paper, Dr. McKibbon concludes that the British working classes were incapable of being aroused by a genuinely class-conscious form of appeal. This not only makes it extremely difficult to explain just why the Labour vote jumped so dramatically in the coupon election of 1918. It also ignores the kind of detailed, cultural analysis of the constituent elements of working class consciousness which John Foster attempted in his Class Struggle and the Industrial Revolution, without which the kind of conclusions to which Dr. McKibbon comes can only be taken on trust.","PeriodicalId":363865,"journal":{"name":"Newsletter, European Labor and Working Class History","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1975-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132913033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"International Congress of the Historical Sciences","authors":"Jean T. Joughin","doi":"10.1017/S0097852300015604","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0097852300015604","url":null,"abstract":"On August 22-29 there met in San Francisco the International Congress of the Historical Sciences, the fourteenth of these every-five-year gatherings held under the auspices of the International Committee of Historical Sciences, a body run by a multi-national bureau and managed by a secretary-general whose office is in Paris. Never before had one of these congresses been held outside Continental Europe, a fact that may account for the smaller than usual attendance figure — around 1400, but a fact that may also explain the participation by delegates from the largest ever number of countries around 60. Despite a program that promised some sessions of particular interest to the historian of European labor and working class history three afternoons, for example, devoted to the question of reform and revolution in 20th-century labor movements the congress itself was a disappointment. On the purely mechanical side, the prescribed format for these congresses inhibited both flexibility in program-planning and spontaneity in discussion. Thus, the fifteen-minute oral summaries of papers the texts of which one had rarely been able to read beforehand, the often extended commentaries by the \"experts\" on the program, and the succession of mini-commentaries from the floor for which each speaker registered his name all these created a rather stilted, discontinuous exchange. But the substantive side of the sessions was more distressing than the mechanical, for in very short order they became frankly politicized and were marked by overt east-west conflict reminiscent of the 1950's. In one instance, an interestingly entitled session on \"Economic Aspects of Societies Undergoing Industrial Development (XVIII-XIX Centuries)\" became a battle over the current relevance of the doctrine-according-to-Lenin and the loaded question of the U.S.S.R. today as a major imperialist power because of a straight-forward, scholarly paper on \"European Finance-Imperialism before 1914.\" In general, attendance at the sessions tended to be on the thin side, although the discussion generated by a French team's hundred pages of collected essays on the \"Rights of Man\" held many attenders against competition in the same time slot from an ensemble of the San Francisco Symphony playing in ultra-modern St. Mary's Cathedral. The single paper of most immediate interest to members of the Study Group was that of E. J. Hobsbawm, simply called \"Revolution,\" explicitly concerned with \"...revolutions as incidents in macro-historical change, i.e. as 'breaking-points' in systems under growing tension, and with the consequences of this particular form of rupture... \" (pp 2-3.) Stimulating though Hobsbawm's summarizing remarks made at the congress were and no limiting him to fifteen minutes! it is to the printed text of the paper, with its seven pages of references that one must turn fully to appreciate his contribution. At the congress's end the consensus seemed to be that much of its value had been on the f","PeriodicalId":363865,"journal":{"name":"Newsletter, European Labor and Working Class History","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1975-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127034497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Working Class Culture in Germany: A Review Essay","authors":"W. Schieder","doi":"10.1017/S0147547900015696","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0147547900015696","url":null,"abstract":"For all the broadening of research into the modern working class during the last ten years, little work has appeared on the working class within European culture. While scholars have made the commonsense discovery that workers had their own lives to lead as well as unions and parties to advance, few have explored the ways in which working-class people amused themselves or related to cultural institutions. The Archiv fur Sozialgeschichte has fortunately devoted most of its hefty 768 page volume for 1974 (Bonn: Verlag Neue Gesellschaft) to this subject. Almost half of its space comprises reviews (interesting topical ones, luckily enough), but seven of its nine articles concern cultural dimensions of German socialism between 1914 and 1933. Hanno Mbbius explores the One-Mark Novels, Christoph Rtilcker the literary coverage of Vorwarts, and Rolf Busch worker poets during World War One. Herbert Scherer discusses the socialist theater movement, Horst Ueberhorst workers' sports, Vernon L. Lidtke workers' songs and Ulrich Linse investigates the socialist student revolution of 1918-1919. Also included are articles by Wolfgang Schieder on the Trier Pilgrimage of 1844 and by Jens Flemming on farm workers' organizations. The significance of the seven articles for the development of German Social Democracy must be seen through the particular dynamics of the social history of culture. This field has emerged as a spin-off from work in other fields not just on culture itself but also on politics and society in general — and has suffered from the derivative nature of such interests. Too often historians have viewed the social structure of a cultural field only insofar as it related to one of these other lines of study, and the result has been some serious misconceptions and enormous gaps of knowledge. Little work of any depth has been done on audiences theatrical, literary, musical or on the institutional structures of the arts. Books abound on the press's reactions to events but what do we know about the internal workings of newspapers or the people who read them? Especially frustrating has been the indifference of cultural historians to the occupational bases and social roles of artists, for many studies leave one guessing just how these figures earned their living. Finally, the analytical tools used on many cultural topics are frequently laiden with heavy assumptions and value judgements which obscure more than they dissect. Culture has always been dear to historians' hearts, and they therefore have too often approached it with clumsily affectionate hands. The articles in the Archiv are successful primarily in the last respect: analytical distance. The authors share a revisionistic perspective of a Marxist sort which provides them a healthy skepticism toward the so powerful cultural tradition of the 19th century a tradition they show social democrats accepted pretty completely and communists found themselves powerless to change.
