Wozu VB?

Die eifrigste Bestrebung der Kinder besteht darin, so hat es zumindest Sigmund Freud einmal behauptet, "zu erfahren, was die Eltern miteinander tun, woraus dann die Kinder werden." Was treibt die Kinder in die Welt? Haben die Kinder Juristen als Eltern, dann dürften sie bald eher nach den Gründen als nach dem Treiben fragen.
Die gleichgeschlechtliche Ehe wurde vom Gesetzgeber endlich anerkannt, auch das Verfassungsgericht wird dagegen nichts mehr unternehmen können, das hoffe ich zumindest. Wer seine Zeichen und Gesetze dennoch exklusiv halten will, sollte darum darüber nachdenken, auf Alternativbegriffe zur Ehe umzusteigen.
Die Verkleidung des Richters und die Verkleidung der Muslima sind ähnlich, weil sie beide aus einer Abschirmung rühren, die auf gleiche Weise dogmatisch besetzt ist. Auch wenn, zumindest in der deutschen Übersetzung des Koran, mit der Bedeckung der Haare die Keuschheit, Sittsamkeit oder Schamhaftigkeit der Frau und mit der Verkleidung des Richters seine Neutralität symbolisiert oder umgesetzt werden soll, gibt es doch eine Entsprechung, und die liegt in der Abschirmung. Wenn man hijab mit Absperrung oder Verhüllung übersetzt, wie das einige vorschlagen, dann tragen Richter auch einen hijab.
Professionalization of service-learning in higher education – an academic development approach
(2018)
In an attempt to professionalize service-learning in higher education, teachers and their teaching skills are considered a determining factor and require particular attention. To promote the teaching skills necessary for service-learning courses, an academic development approach addressing these specific requirements has been implemented at Goethe University Frankfurt as part of the academic development program for teaching staff. This article presents the particularities of this approach and illustrates one of its central elements, i.e., the concept of a workshop on planning service-learning courses. Both practical and research implications are discussed.
Wenn Rechtstexte auf literarische Texte treffen, dann treffen Wahrheitsformen aufeinander. Es treffen unterschiedliche Weisen, Wahrheit zu produzieren, aufeinander. Zu den zahlreichen Unterschieden gehören, historisch bedingt, unterschiedliche Stile, die sich um die Objektivierung und "Subjektivierung" der Aussagen bilden. Das fängt bei den banalen "wir" und "man" rechtswissenschaftlicher Texte an, geht über allgemein gehaltene, enthistorisierende und systematisierende Definitionen bis zu einem Fussnotenapparat, der in manchen Rechtstexten beinahe jede Aussage als nachweisbare Aussage absichern soll. Die Rechtswissenschaft, zumal die deutsche, pflegt bei ihren Wahrheitsformen objektivierende Stile, die Literaturwissenschaft tut das nicht, nicht in dem Maße, sie lässt das Subjekt stärker in die Aussage einbrechen. Die Lage zwischen diesen beiden Disziplinen ist allerdings kompliziert, weil wiederum das Recht eine wirksame Subjektivierungsinstanz ist, die eben die Instrumente zur Verfügung stellt, um Aussagen an Subjekte zu binden. Sie hat die Unterschrift und den Urheber erfunden. In dieser Lage kann man also nicht einfach das Subjektive gegen das Objektive ausspielen. Von Anfang aber über das Zusammentreffen von Literatur und Recht in objektivierenden Stilen zu schreiben, schafft eine asymmetrische Ausgangslage, die ich gerne zugunsten einer symmetrischen Ausgangslage umgehen möchte – soweit das möglich ist. ...
Mir fällt in dieser Woche, in der nicht nur im Netz darüber diskutiert wurde, was eigentlich gefährlich sei, Menschen in Schlauchbooten oder die Lifeline, und in der darüber diskutiert wurde, ob man nicht lieber ein paar absaufen lässt, damit die anderen gewarnt seien, nicht viel mehr ein, als in die Gründe und Abgründe Europas zu schauen.
This article serves as both an état présent of emerging scholarship in the interdisiplinary field of Memory Studies and a conference report following the first MSA Forward interactive workshop which preceded the second annual conference of the Memory Studies Association (MSA) in December 2017. MSA Forward is the postgraduate arm of the Memory Studies Association and offers a platform for exchanging ideas amongst a cohort of emerging scholars engaging with recent developments in Memory Studies and interacting with key academics in the field. The idea of engagement, with its political undertone, draws attention to the political valence and ethical sensitivity of emerging research as evidenced in this article, which contends that if Memory Studies is to be moving forwards as well as looking back, then it is important for emerging scholars as well as established academics to be at the forefront of the field.
Cellular mobile networks, in which devices constantly relay their location and their movements, are formed by the motion of end devices in relation to the position of radio towers. As a matter of principle, it is this motion that allows the location of devices to be identified within the network. The article argues that the emergence of mobile media based on cellular triangulation has introduced an ontology in which, by technical necessity, the position of every object is constantly registered and objects that do not have an address do not exist. The location and movement of all participants are, at all times, a known technical variable. With Xeros PARC’s “ubiquitous computing” as a reference case, the article scrutinizes how movement triggers the process that registers the locations of mobile phones or smartphones, a development it situates against the cybernetic imagination of determining the location and the movement of an object at the same time.
This article traces the representation of love, gender and national identity in Shani Mootoo’s creative work in general and her most recent novel Valmiki’s Daughter (2008) in particular. In all her work, Mootoo describes the phenomenon of otherness as a part of the negotiating process of the protagonists' selves.Challenging xenophobia, homophobia and all forms of prejudices the author works with the concept of lesbian and bisexual love, cross-racial relationships in order to write identity and to create a home.
The work of the artist and writer Gerald Nestler explores finance and its social implications since the mid-1990s. Based on his professional experience as a trader as well as on post-disciplinary research, he has developed a unique approach that brings together theory and conversation with installation, video, performance, text, and other art forms. Probing into the narrative structures of contemporary capitalism, Nestler offers a techno-political critique directly from the core of the financial markets. This interview addresses his reading of the derivative as a world-producing apparatus that shapes the experience of the present by preconfiguring the future, and that provokes a shift from representational to performative speech in the actualization of biopower based on the exploitation of volatility and leverage. In conversation with Christian Kloeckner and Stefanie Mueller, he argues for the formation of specific human/non-human alliances that directly attack algorithmic as well as socio- economic black-boxing (schemes that monopolize inherently non-scarce resources), so as to open our imagination to skills and tactics that would allow us to navigate the rich but volatile flows of social, political, and economic abundance.
This special issue explores how finance deploys time, structures the future, and interacts with actors and institutions that sometimes function according to very different temporal regimes. Finance capitalism’s logic of recurrence, repetitive cycles, and successive ruptures has long been with us, but the essays in this special issue are particularly interested in how recent decades of intensified financialization have restructured temporal experience. They interrogate the production and dissemination of agency in an age of acceleration, risk, and uncertainty, asking how the temporality inscribed in financial transactions emerges from and simultaneously shapes individual and social practice. Topics covered range from the logic of finance and foundational concepts of financial theory to the intersection between objective structures and social practice, the role of literature, and finally questions of social insecurity, political action, and the possibility of resistance within a context of competing temporalities. In this introduction, the editors delineate some fundamental concepts and questions for our financial times.
This article develops a reading of Don DeLillo’s novel Cosmopolis that differentiates between two thematic and poetological axes running through the text. On the one hand, Cosmopolis explores the future-fixation of the risk regime of finance capitalism; on the other, it stages scenes of insecurity that physically threaten the protagonist and his world. Insecurity, the article argues, is a condition that throughout the text increasingly gains in appeal because it promises to offer an alternative to a world of managed risk. The concern with security emphasizes finitude and mortality, thus enabling a turn to existential matters that the virtual abstractions of finance have seemingly made inaccessible. While proposing an opposition between a logic of risk based on virtuality and a logic of (in)security based on authenticity, DeLillo’s novel also suggests that it is impossible to break out of the logic of risk management pervading late modernity. The appeal of (in)security articulated in Cosmopolis rather lies in the promise to existentially revitalize life within the confines of financialized capitalism.
