Dall'orda allo Stato - Alle origini del legame sociale | Eugène Enriquez usato Scienze umane Sociologia
Examines phenomena of social life - such as power, the sacred, the state - based on a systematic interpretation of Freud's writings on social behavior. Pp. 178-183, "Le ragioni dell'antisemitismo, " recall what Freud considered to be the reasons for antisemitism: the Jew as alien, and jealousy of a people which resists oppression and claims religious prominence. Ch. 15 (pp. 409-468), "L'antisemitismo nazista: La negazione del legame sociale, " states that the Jews symbolize alterity, community vs. the state, atemporality vs. history, nomadism vs. territorialism. All this collided with the German world view. Traces Hitler's antisemitism to his hatred for his father, his obsession with sexual contamination, and his pretentions to be the Messiah of a new religion. Contends that the Nazi state was based on antisemitism, that it is the prototype for modern states today, and that the Jewish question (of alterity) is still actual: destructive antisemitism is a necessity of modern society until another people supplants the Jews as scapegoats.
