Sommario/riassunto

This essay is offered particularly as a contribution to the relationship between theological and literary writings on the Holocaust. Franz Baermann Steiner's (1909-1952) detailed sociological work - he taught at the Department of Social Anthropology at Oxford and developed a sociology of danger that strongly influenced Mary Douglas, T. W. Adorno, Iris Murdoch, H.G. Adler and Julia Kristeva - contrasts with Canetti's emphasis on shock. Canetti's response to the Holocaust constitutes, in Dominick LaCapra's terms, an 'acting out' of trauma: a comparison between Canetti's »Masse und Macht« and the anthropological texts he uses brings to the fore his bleak depicton of humanity. By contrast, Steiner - in comparison to Canetti - lays emphasis on 'working through' the Holocaust, that is to say, on overcoming the paralysis of trauma by reflecting critically on values that might transform a damaged society. However, Canetti's depiction of humanity cannot entirely be seen in LaCapra's notion of 'acting out': for through the shock of 'acting out', Canetti nonetheless wants to bring about a 'working through'. Similarly, despite the 'working through' shock and trauma are dramatized in Steiner's poetry and his



aphoristic writings. Morever, Canetti thematizes an ethical impact on his readership in his aphorisms. In response to the Holocaust both writers advance a theory of power: what Steiner calls danger, Canetti attacks as death. Steiner's and Canetti's respective responses to the Holocaust consists in a critique of static ways of thought, affirming 'metamorphosis', and deconceptualized understanding of the world which connects linguistic fluidity to the everchanging contextualities of social and embodied life.

Sommario/riassunto

Currently, parliament as a political institution does not enjoy the best reputation. This book aims to recover less known political resources of the parliamentary mode of proceeding. The parliamentary procedure relies on regulating debates in a fair way and on constructing opposed perspectives on the agenda items.  The British House of Commons provides the closest historical approximation for the parliamentary ideal type of politics. This book deals with the formation and conceptual change in the Westminster procedure, based on the way they are interpreted in the tracts on procedure. The tracts illustrate the changing parliamentary self-understanding from the 1570s to the present and the growing political role of procedural disputes. The parliamentary style of politics, as discussed in the tracts, can be divided into two genres: the politics of agenda-setting and the politics of debate. The book analyses their formation and overall conceptual change as well as the procedural responses to the increasingly scarce parliamentary time from the period after the 1832 parliamentary reform. It insists that in spite of claims on urgency and on government’



s leadership the procedural resources of the House of Commons contribute to maintaining the debate-centred parliamentary style of politics.

The book is of interest for anyone trying to gain an understanding of Parliamentary procedure, as it contemporises procedure as opposed to historical procedure, and it will be useful for those British scholars who are interested in the changing  procedure of Westminster. Political Studies Review 05/2016    Palonen paints a very useful picture of the procedural evolution of Parliament, helping us to understand the roots of the procedural politics which Members of Parliament still play in the House today. Parliaments, Estates and Representation, 18.02.2016    Das Buch lädt dazu ein, angebliche parlamentarische Gesetzmäßigkeiten kritisch zu hinterfragen. Eine weitere Stärke des Sammelbandes liegt in der internationalen Ausrichtung der Beiträge – die Autor_innen stammen aus acht Ländern. Da sie auf verschiedenen Ebenen argumentieren, ist es lobenswert, dass die Herausgeber die Artikel in einer Einleitung und einem Epilog zueinander in Beziehung setzen.
