Pascal Schneider : Research & CV

NSDAP members’ sociology : the Germans’ workers national-socialist party in the annexed territories of the IIIrd Reich (Alsace, Moselle, Eupen-Malmédy, Sudètes), from 1938 to 1944.

Research area 2: Norms and Transgressions.

My research deals with the NSDAP members in the annexed territories of the IIIrd Reich. It takes place in a comparative study of four European territories and focuses on the biography of the NSDAP members. This deliberate act, because the NSDAP adhesion was not mandatory, was indeed the result of a long-process procedure, often individual, sometimes familial. The individual decisions could be opportunistic, thus, badly thought, if not unconscious, in order to get a better position. Whereas the collective adhesion, like the familial one, was rather linked with strong traditions – religious, cultural, social – submitting, at one moment, to the dominant speech.

This study is a sociography with an interdisciplinary approach (sociology, psychology, anthropology and history), which focuses on the practices and social facts, in this case, those of engagement, and even those of marginality of involvement. Thus, it also deals with the management of this transgression, which is the involvement of inhabitants from those annexed territories, alongside German National Socialists, as an integration in the new order established at the local, regional and European level. The scale change let us see if those social practices are the same or different in those four different annexed territories of the IIIrd Reich between 1938 and 1944.

RESEARCH

Claire Madl’s research focuses on the history of the book and on the practices of the written word in the Habsburg monarchy in the 18th and 19th century, a pivotal moment when historiography observed a paradigm shift between the Enlightenment and the national affirmation.
 
Her work on the history of reading seeks primarily to reconstruct reading as a social practice which enables to express membership of social groups, to impose an integration activity on a population but also to assert an autonomous way of thinking and a distance from shared or dominant corpuses and practices. By combining the archival sources and the sources from castle libraries, she has worked on the collections of the nobility and on readers, whom she has endeavoured not to reduce to their social affiliation.
 
Her work on the international book market enables her to place Bohemia on the map of European bookshop networks and to examine the place of political and commercial centres such as Vienna and Leipzig. Her work on local publishing in Bohemia and its clientele allows her to examine the crucial period between 1780 and 1830 which marked the transition from the book market dominated by imports to establishment of a more autonomous publishing market.
 
Lately, she has been examining the introduction of compulsory school attendance in the Habsburg monarchy (1774, 1777) as the founding moment in the affirmation of reading as a “total social fact” and the spread of “reading for all”. This significant reform of the Enlightenment was exceptional in its extent and it was supported by a highly ambitious policy of producing and ditributing official school textbooks.
