Global anti-semitism in world-historical perspective: an introduction
This introduction to the Spring 2009 issue of Human Architecture: Journal of the Sociology of Self-Knowledge begins with a discussion of \"The Articulation and Re-Articulation of Anti-Semitism\" in a world-historical perspective, focusing on such topics as \"Anti-Semitism in the Longue-Duree,\" \"Christian Europe's Final Solutions,\" and \"Israel and Global Anti-Semitism.\" It then follows with a survey of the volume's articles which were part of an international conference entitled, \"The Post-September 11 New Ethnic/Racial Configurations in Europe and the United States: The Case of Anti-Semitism,\" organized by Lewis Gordon and Ramon Grosfoguel at the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme (MSH) in Paris on June 2930, 2007. The two scholars along with Eric Mielants also served as co-editors of this issue. Part of a series inaugurated by a discussion on Islamophobia, the conference brought a majority Jewish group of scholars together in the hope of bringing to the forum a critical exchange and conversation among the participants. The discussion presented in the introduction is not necessarily representative of the views of the scholars included in the collection.

From this month's editor
AIDS no longer seems such a big deal to people in the industrialized world. Oh, sure, it's still around -- but now it's the junkies, the homeless and the lumpen poor who are the problem, not the gays. And besides we've got those miracle meds now; it's under control.

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE REVIEW \SHI'R\
In this article the Author intends to offer an analysis of the journal Shi'r as the social and cultural experiment of a group of people, all of them inspired by a strong desire for renewal and cosmopolitanism, in a period in which Arab nationalism had begun to make the Arab world turn in on itself. Trying to clarify what Yūsuf al-Khāl had in mind when he founded the journal, in 1957, how the members of the group worked together as an editorial board and how Shi'r came definitively to its end, in 1970, the Author wants to offer a sociological history of the journal, of its editorial processes, its production, its marketing, publishing, printing, financing, its lay-out, structure and finally its contents.
