Part IV of our series on ISIS : "Blogforum 'Kalifat des Terrors: Interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf den Islamischen Staat".
One element within US counter-terrorism strategies is “reducing terrorist group cohesion”, as the think tank RAND recommends in one of its reports. The Combating Terrorism Center at West Point (CTC) puts these recommendations into actions. Reports like ”Cracks in the Foundation” or ”Dysfunction and Decline” vividly depict the internal disagreement and disunity between al-Qaeda central (AQ) and its regional affiliates, most of all AQ in Iraq (AQI). Albeit these reports are drafted by pundits and certainly provide meaningful and often rare insights into the inner life of the global jihadi movement, they also serve another purpose: to deliberately amplify the very same trend they describe: disunity...
In the ‘age of transnationalization’, spatial mobility is highly valued as a resource and accordingly ‘sedentariness’ is often symbolically devalued. Migration between Poland and Germany (mainly from Poland to Germany) has a century-long tradition. Not only has it yielded the emergence of a dense transnational social space, but is also considered as a re-enactor of cultural traits and symbolic meanings. Spatial mobility is tied to notions of social mobility and to projects of life-making. Since legal restrictions for Polish migrants seeking to work and settle in Germany have vanished, the quest for ‘normalcy’ has enhanced and pressures towards even more migration have increased. I argue that symbolic meanings of mobility are decisive for hierarchies in transnational social spaces. I have put main emphasize on families’ practices of caring for and caring about each other: the first being more a physical or material activity, while the latter is a more symbolic and emotional one. The interviews reveal that people draw multiple differentiations between migrant populations in terms of their migration reasons as well as between the mobile and the immobile. Those differentiations are embedded in the distinct feature of the transnational social space between Poland and Germany with assumed differences in terms of ‘modernity’. At the end the symbolic meanings of mobility also help explain the puzzle of why the emigration rates from Poland are constantly high, although Poland is a comparatively wealthy country.
O presente artigo explora os principais conceitos que compõe a teoria do reconhecimento de Axel Honneth, a fim de compreender os propósitos imbricados na idéia de luta por reconhecimento e suas contribuições à nova concepção de identidade surgida a partir da modernidade. No padrão pós-convencional, apresentado por Honneth, o indivíduo é reconhecido em sua individualidade. A identidade subjetiva é constituída de forma intersubjetiva e não mais determinada pelo grupo social. O reconhecimento recíproco é condição para a formação prática da identidade, permitindo ao sujeito participar efetivamente na esfera pública. Contudo, por possuir uma estrutura fundamentalmente intersubjetiva, a identidade individual e coletiva é afetada negativamente pelas diferentes situações de desrespeito presente nos processos de interação social. A negação do reconhecimento de modo injustificado, por meio da violação de expectativas normativas de comportamento, da origem a reações emocionais negativas. Por este motivo, as experiências de desrespeito integram a base motivacional da luta por reconhecimento, dando origem ao conflito social. O tema do conflito em Honneth está vinculado aos processos de formação da identidade prática do sujeito e aos progressos na vida social. O conflito social, traduzido na forma de luta por reconhecimento, caracteriza-se como uma expressão altamente positiva, por contribuir significativamente com a autorrealização individual e coletiva.
Die vorliegende Arbeit untersuchte die Chancen und Restriktivitäten einer künstlerischen Ausbildung. Welche Möglichkeiten stehen einer künstlerischen Ausbildung zur Verfügung und welchen Grenzen steht sie unüberwindlich gegenüber? Diese waren konstitutionstheoretisch zu entfalten und wissenschaftspraktisch anhand von mir erhobenem Datenmaterial (vornehmlich Interviews mit Studenten und Professoren von Kunsthochschulen in Deutschland) zu belegen bzw. zu verdichten...
Die diesjährige DVPW-Tagung Ende September sorgte für einige Unruhen in den Reihen der Vereinigung und darüber hinaus. Dabei geriet die eigentliche Tagung zum Thema „Vorsicht Sicherheit. Legitimationsprobleme der Ordnung von Sicherheit“ durch die Querelen auf der Mitgliederversammlung fast völlig aus dem Blick. Einen guten und umfassenden Tagungsbericht, um die inhaltliche Debatte nicht gänzlich in Vergessenheit geraten zu lassen, stellten die Kollegen des Theorieblogs zusammen (siehe hier ), live bloggten die Kollegen des Sicherheitsblogs (siehe hier)...
Persons traveling to participate in foreign conflicts by no means constitute a new phenomenon that is intrinsically tied to the ‘Islamic State’ (‘IS’). However, law enforcement agencies all over the world increasingly focus on foreign fighters travelling to Syria and Iraq due to a considerable rise in their number as well as the perceived threat they pose upon their return. Currently, around 650 German residents and citizens have travelled to the region to support jihadist groups such as the ‘IS’.
This is the first article in our series on refugees.Attempts to address the current crisis often seek to make distinctions between ‘refugees’ and ‘migrants’ and between refugees / migrants and citizens. But, I suggest, these distinctions are part of the problem. Part of the solution is to rethink our histories of ‘national states’ – and the rights and claims they enable – through a ‘connected sociologies’ approach that acknowledges the shared histories that bring states and colonies together....
