Dawid Wdowiński (1895–1970) należał do najbardziej znanych działaczy rewizjonistycznego ruchu syjonistycznego w Polsce w latach trzydziestych. Cieszył się renomą również jako psychoanalityk (pełnił kierowniczą funkcję na oddziale psychiatrycznym w szpitalu na Czystem w Warszawie). Jako jedyny spośród „żabotyńczyków” został wymieniony w leksykonie Czy wiesz kto to jest?. W wrześniu 1939 r., w przeciwieństwie do innych liderów ruchu rewizjonistycznego, pozostał w Warszawie. Trafił do getta (w którym stracił matkę), po deportacji znalazł się w obozie pracy w Budzyniu, a potem w innych obozach (jego żona, dr med. Antonina z d. Berger, zginęła w listopadzie 1943 r., podczas operacji „Erntefest”). Po wojnie osiadł w Nowym Jorku i przez wiele lat wykładał psychologię i psychiatrię w New School for Social Research. Kontynuował też działalność społeczno-polityczną. W 1961 r. został wezwany przez sąd izraelski do złożenia zeznań na procesie Adolfa Eichmanna

O artigo examina o alcance intelectual do curso de pós-graduação ministrado por Hannah Arendt na Universidade de Cornell, nos Estados Unidos, no semestre do outono de 1965, intitulado "Political experiences in the twentieth century". Baseia-se nos meus próprios apontamentos como seu aluno em Cornell e nos roteiros preparados por Hannah Arendt para ministrar o curso, que estão guardados nos seus papéis na Biblioteca do Congresso dos Estados Unidos. Indica, com base na documentação contida na Biblioteca do Congresso, as convergências desse curso com o ministrado anteriormente, em 1955, na Universidade da Califórnia e, subseqüentemente, em 1968, na New School for Social Research. Explora como esses cursos contribuem para a compreensão da importância por ela atribuída, na sua obra, à experiência, à narração, à ação, à imaginação e ao juízo reflexivo, que são componentes da maior relevância na configuração da originalidade do percurso intelectual de Hannah Arendt e que dela fazem uma das grandes pensadoras do século XX.

The Committee on Historical Studies was established in the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research in 1984. The Graduate Faculty has long emphasized the contribution of history to the social sciences. Committee on Historical Studies (CHS) courses offer students the opportunity to utilize social scientific concepts and theories in the study of the past. The program is based on the conviction that the world changes constantly but changes systematically, with each historical moment setting the opportunities and limiting the potentialities of the next. Systematic historical analysis, however, is not merely a diverting luxury. Nor is it simply a means of assembling cases for present-oriented models of human behavior. It is a prerequisite to any sound understanding of processes of change and of structures large or small.

Art historian Meyer Schapiro was born in Šiauliai [Shavley], Lithuania, on September 23, 1904, but soon immigrated to the United States with his family in 1907. Schapiro grew up in the working-class, left wing, Jewish immigrant neighborhood of Brownsville, Brooklyn. He graduated from Columbia University with a Ph.D. in fine arts and archaeology in 1935 (having completed his dissertation in 1929). He spent his career at Columbia, though he also taught regularly at the New School for Social Research from 1936 until 1952. While trained as a medievalist, Schapiro was an early proponent of modern art, and over the course of his career he taught courses, lectured, and published on both fields. Through his lectures and publications, Schapiro’s ideas shaped several generations of artists and art historians. Though he published several books including those on Post-Impressionist artists Paul Cézanne (1950) and Vincent van Gogh (1952), his most respected ideas on both medieval and modern topics were published in articles. Schapiro is known for his innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to art history; he explored new art historical methodologies through the use of Marxism, psychoanalysis, and semiotics. He is also known for his essay "Style" (1953), a systematic consideration of past and current theories of style.

And Function

One of the first full-time newspaper dance reviewers in the United States, John Martin wrote for The New York Times from 1927 to 1962 and was often referred to as the dean of American dance critics during his 35-year tenure. Martin used his bully pulpit at the Times to launch a discourse within the dance community surrounding the aesthetics of modernism in dance as well as to educate and rally a new audience. In the process he helped to establish dance reviewing as a specialized field of arts reporting and commentary and not just a subgenre of music criticism, as it had been treated before 1927. A vocal defender of the legitimacy of an American modern dance as defined by New York-based practitioners such as Martha Graham and Doris Humphrey, Martin was among the first theorists of it, outlining a poetics of its form and function while introducing a new vocabulary. His prolific output includes thousands of essays and reviews for the Times and other periodicals, seven books, and a series of highly influential lectures given at the New School for Social Research, Bennington School of the Dance, and in the latter part of his career at the University of California-Los Angeles.

Joseph Schillinger (1895–1943), the eminent Russian-American music theorist, teacher and composer, emigrated to the United States in 1928, after having served in high positions in some of the major music institutions in the Ukraine, Khar'kov, Moscow, and Leningrad. He settled in New York, where he taught music, mathematics, art history, and his theory of rhythmic design at the New School for Social Research, New York University, and the Teachers College of Columbia University. He formulated a philosophical and practical system of music theory based on mathematics, and became a celebrated teacher of prominent composers and radio musicians. Schillinger's writings include: Kaleidophone: New Resources of Melody and Harmony (New York: M. Witmark, 1940; New York: Charles Colin, 1976); Schillinger System of Musical Composition, 2 vols. (New York: Carl Fischer, 1946; New York: Da Capo Press, 1977); Mathematical Basis of the Arts (New York: Philosophical Library, 1948; New York: Da Capo Press, 1976); Encyclopedia of Rhythms (New York: Charles Colin, 1966; New York: Da Capo Press, 1976).
