Wer nicht nur die Tag-, sondern auch die Nachtseite des menschlichen Seelenlebens beschreiben möchte, so könnte die Konsequenz aus dem Vergleich der beiden Texte Hoffmanns lauten, muss sich die, der Zigeunerin zugeschriebene, "schmutzige" Kraft der Natur zu eigen machen. Umgekehrt resultiert daraus, dass sich in dieser schmutzigen Kraft, über welche die Zigeunerin verfügt, Potenzial von allerhöchstem literarischen Adel verbirgt. Zigeunerromantik eben.

Das Thema des Monologs ist das Schreiben und Sprechen als
"närrische Sache". Ich beginne meine Lektüre, indem ich den Begriff wörtlich nehme: Ein Narr ist, in der Psychologie der Zeit, jemand, der an Melancholie leidet, dessen Verstand bzw. Vernunft jedoch nicht vollständig, sondern nur teilweise angegriffen ist. [...] Die Diagnose der Narrheit gilt auch [...] für denjenigen, der sich in Novalis' Augen der Sprache zuwendet. Auch er wird zum Narren oder Partialwahnsinnigen, der sowohl vernünftig als auch ganz und gar unvernünftig sprechen kann. Die Krankheit liegt aber, und das stellt eine Differenz gegenüber der Psychologie der Zeit dar, nicht im Sprechenden, zumindest nicht in ihm allein, sondern in der Sprache. Sie selbst ist es, welche die "närrische Sache" ausmacht.
Säkularisierung und die Souveränität der Moderne. Ein Kommentar zur Agamben-Lektüre Jürgen Mohns
(2014)
As one of the foremost scientists of the time, the Zurich-born botanist Hans Schinz travelled throughout the colony of German South-West Africa, now known as Namibia, from 1884 to 1886. During his expeditions, which covered the length and breadth of the country, he was an enthusiastic collector of many botanical, ethnographical, zoological and mineral samples. He described his experiences in vivid detail in letters to his family and colleagues in Zurich and Berlin. The extensive collections, with which he returned to Switzerland, and his subsequent research fostered his rapid career progression: in 1893 Hans Schinz became the director of the Zurich Botanical Gardens and in 1895 the Professor of Systematic Botany at the University of Zurich.
Africa in narratives
(2014)
Africa in Narratives illuminates or proves, against the backdrop of attitudes toward nations deemed 'ethnic' or 'minorities', that literature in Africa can live up to the challenge of aesthetic imagination to form an active, refreshing part of world cultural discourse. African countries have evolved imaginatively beyond their present ephemeral stages of social and political turmoil not to talk of intellectual imitations of western thought, nation literatures should be subject to the imperative of a continental cooperation.
This book addresses itself to mobilisation and involvement of rural people in development projects. It describes an imperfect but, nonetheless, exciting and thought-provoking exercise that drew social science researchers and students from four public universities in Kenya into an experiment in participatory research, community education and development in two locations. The experiment was grounded on the assumptions that the people of Kenya are a primary resource and that given proper roles and contribution of planners, researchers and programme implementers, self-sustainable development can become a reality. The contributors of this book have focused on the potential of the university to facilitate participation of the people in development. They have given specific suggestions on how this might be accomplished.
Conviviality in Bellville: An Ethnography of Space, Place, Mobility and Being in Urban South Africa
(2014)
This book provides insight into the experiences of mobility and migration in contemporary South Africa, contributing to a field of literature about multiculturalism and urban public space in globalizing cities. It takes into consideration the greater international political and local socio-economic factors that drive migration, relationships and conviviality, and how they are intertwined in the everyday narrative of 'insiders' and 'outsiders'. The Bellville central business district demonstrates the realities of interconnected local and global hierarchies of citizenship and belonging and how they emerge in a world of accelerated mobility. The book further demonstrates how the emergence of conviviality in everyday public life represents a critical field for contemplating contemporary notions of human rights, citizenship and belonging.
