Chris Pallis

크리스토퍼 아가멤논 팔리스(Christopher Agamnon Pallis, 1923년 12월 2일 봄베이 – 2005년 3월 10일, 런던)는 영국계 그리스인 신경학자자유주의 사회주의 지식인이었다. 그는 마틴 그레인저와 모리스 브린튼이라는 필명으로 1960년대부터 1980년대 초까지 영국 단체인 '연대'를 위해 집필, 번역했다. 신경과 의사로서 그는 뇌계 사망에 대해 인정된 기준을 만들어 냈고, 브리태니커 백과사전 사망에 대한 항목을 썼다.[1]

인생

크리스 팔리스는 저명한 앵글로-그리스 집안에서 태어났으며, "그의 지적 업적은 항상 매우 자랑스러웠다"[2]고 말했다. 시인 알렉산드로스 팔리스가 대삼촌이었기 때문에 작가 마리에타 팔리스마르코 팔리스도 친척이었다. 그의 아버지 알렉스는 상인 은행가들의 가족 회사인 랄리 브라더스의 총지배인이었고, 그가 은퇴했을 때, 스위스에 정착하기 위해 인도에서 돌아왔다. 그곳에서 교육을 받은 Chris Pallis는 프랑스어, 영어, 그리스어에 유창하게 되었다.[3]

In 1940 the family managed to take the last boat out of France, and settled in England. Pallis went up to study medicine at Balliol College, Oxford in 1941. Joining the Communist Party of Great Britain, he was quickly expelled for criticising its policy on the Second World War, and became a member of the Trotskyist Revolutionary Communist Party.[2]

In 1947 he married Jeanne Marty, a working-class French university student, and for a decade he dropped out of politics to pursue his medical career. In 1957 he joined the Trotskyist group led by Gerry Healy, the Club, which in 1959 became the Socialist Labour League. He was expelled by Healy in 1960 and with a group of other ex-members of the SLL immediately set up Solidarity. Like a number of other former members of the SLL he was also involved with the journal International Socialism in the early 1960s[citation needed].

For the next 20 years, he combined a distinguished medical career[4] under his real name with pseudonymous revolutionary socialist writing and translation. When he was outed for his use of the name Martin Grainger in such left wing journals as the New Statesman, he changed his pseudonym. Subsequently his boss, Christopher Booth, defended him from further press criticism, saying he was a fine neurologist entitled to his own political views.[5]

His work includes several eyewitness accounts of key moments in European left politics (the Belgian general strike of 1960, Paris in May 1968, Portugal's Carnation Revolution in 1974–75), a substantial body of English translations of the work of Cornelius Castoriadis, the main thinker of the French group Socialisme ou Barbarie, and two short books – one (The Bolsheviks and Workers' Control, 1970) on the aftermath of the Bolshevik revolution, and one (The Irrational in Politics, 1974) on sexual politics.[3]

The publishers of a recent online edition of The Bolsheviks and Workers' Control[6] describe it as follows:

The Bolsheviks and Workers' Control is a remarkable pamphlet by Maurice Brinton exposing the struggle that took place over the running of workplaces in the immediate aftermath of the Russian Revolution. In doing so not only does it demolish the romantic Leninist 'history' of the relationship between the working class and their party during these years (1917–21) but it also provides a backbone to understanding why the Russian revolution failed in the way it did. From this understanding flows alternative possibilities of revolutionary organisation and some 26 years after the original was written this is perhaps its greatest contribution today. For this reason alone this text deserves the greatest possible circulation today and we encourage you to link to it, download the text or otherwise circulate it.
