Karsten Schubert deposited Demokratisierung durch „Cancel Culture“: Zum Verhältnis von Kunstfreiheit und Emanzipation in the group
Political Philosophy & Theory on Humanities Commons 1 month, 1 week ago
Vor wenigen Tagen hat das Hamburger Kabarett-Theater Schmidts Tivoli die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Komiker Kay Ray beendet, offenbar weil rassistische Witze in der Show einen zentralen Platz einnehmen. Kurz nach der Cancel-Affäre zwischen Lisa Eckhart und dem Hamburger Nochtspeicher sieht sich nun auch Ray als Opfer von „Cancel Culture“, die die Kuns…[Read more]
Omer Aijazi deposited What about Insaniyat? Morality and Ethics in the Pahars of Kashmir in the group
Political Philosophy & Theory on Humanities Commons 1 month, 2 weeks ago
What about insāniyat (humanity)? Or put differently, how are morality and ethics compelled and shaped in the pahars (mountainscapes) of Kashmir? Insāniyat is an emotion and ethics that expresses interdependencies between people. Insāniyat is moral and ethical proclivity. It is not enforced by an external authority but inheres in human en…[Read more]
Taylor R. Genovese deposited The Necessity of Communist Morality in the group
Political Philosophy & Theory on Humanities Commons 1 month, 3 weeks ago
It becomes hard for me to think of morality as inherently an oppressive tool of the ruling class. After all, we would be hard pressed to find a communist who isn’t drawn to Marxism—or any left tendency for that matter—who doesn’t possess a strong, disciplined moral conviction that guides their actions and assists them in determining what is the…[Read more]
Karsten Schubert deposited Queere und schwule Theorie (Foucault Rezeption) in the group
Political Philosophy & Theory on Humanities Commons 2 months ago
Foucault bildet eine zentrale Grundlage der queeren und schwulen Theorie, die sich seit den späten 1980er Jahren insbesondere in den USA entwickelt hat. Seine Macht- und Subjekttheorie ist die Basis für eine nicht- essentialistische Analyse von Sexualität und für die Kritik ihrer normierenden Wirkung, die Foucault selbst in Der Wille zum Wis…[Read more]
Karsten Schubert deposited Institutionalisierung der Freiheit im Recht. Foucault und die postmarxistische Rechtskritik in the group
Political Philosophy & Theory on Humanities Commons 2 months, 2 weeks ago
In der postmarxistischen politischen Philosophie wird die Veränderung gegenüber der Verstetigung analytisch und normativ bevorzugt. Deshalbleistet die postmarxistische Theorie keine realistische Analyse und normativ-differenzierende Bewertung von politischen Institutionen, insbesondere des Rechts. Der Beitrag liefert einen Ansatz, um diese L…[Read more]
Karsten Schubert deposited Foucaults Verflüssigung. Postfundamentalistische Kritik und normative Institutionentheorie in the group
Political Philosophy & Theory on Humanities Commons 4 months ago
Wir wissen nicht, wie eine emanzipative und kritische Institutionentheorie aussehen kann, weil wir in einem theoretischen Dilemma stecken: Traditionelle politische Theorie, von Liberalismus bis Marxismus, ist machtblind und damit unrealistisch – dies hat Foucaults Kritik gezeigt. Unrealistische Theorie kann nicht die Basis für die Konzeption gu…[Read more]
Karsten Schubert deposited The Challenge of Migration: Is Liberalism the Problem? A Critique of Christoph Menke’s Radical Republicanism in the group
Political Philosophy & Theory on Humanities Commons 4 months ago
I would like to deal with the following questions: What is the reason for the failure of Western states to protect refugees and to welcome migrants? And what is an ad-equate response? One popular hypothesis is that liberalism is the problem. The most elaborate version of this hypothesis comes from Christoph Menke, who employs his radical critique…[Read more]
Karsten Schubert deposited Queerness and Liberal Law: The Tension between Emancipation and Naturalization. Comment on Elisabeth Holzleithner in the group
Political Philosophy & Theory on Humanities Commons 4 months ago
Thank you very much for this excellent presentation. In my comment I aim to render more explicit some fundamental tensions or contradictions between legal emancipation and queerness, which are at stake in your description of the legal frameworks for the protection of queers. It thereby reopens the question of the strategic choice between appealing…[Read more]
Karsten Schubert deposited Subjectification through Institutions: The Debate about Freedom in the Works of Foucault in the group
Political Philosophy & Theory on Humanities Commons 4 months ago
One of the longest lasting problems in the discussion about Foucault has been the problem of freedom. More precisely the question is: How can freedom and resistance be thought and explained in a theory of power and subjectification?
I will address this problem not by talking about Foucault himself, for example by offering a new interpretation of…[Read more]Karsten Schubert deposited Freiheit als Kritik. Sozialphilosophie nach Foucault in the group
Political Philosophy & Theory on Humanities Commons 4 months ago
Wie können Freiheit und Widerstand innerhalb von Foucaults Theorie der Macht und Subjektivierung konzipiert werden? Karsten Schubert liefert die erste systematische Rekonstruktion der sozialphilosophischen Debatte um Freiheit bei Foucault und eine neue Lösung für das Freiheitsproblem: Freiheit als die Fähigkeit zur reflexiven Kritik der eig…[Read more]
Karsten Schubert deposited Freedom as critique: Foucault beyond anarchism in the group
Political Philosophy & Theory on Humanities Commons 4 months ago
Foucault’s theory of power and subjectification challenges common concepts of freedom in social philosophy and expands them through the concept of ‘freedom as critique’: Freedom can be defined as the capability to critically reflect one’s own subjectification, and the conditions of possibility for this critical capacity lie in political and soc…[Read more]
Karsten Schubert deposited »Political Correctness« als Sklavenmoral? Zur politischen Theorie der Privilegienkritik in the group
Political Philosophy & Theory on Humanities Commons 4 months ago
Right-wing intellectuals often invoke Nietzsche’s concept of slave morality to underpin their criticism of ‘political correctness’ (‘PC’). This interconnection of Nietzsche’s slave morality and ‘PC’ criticism is correct, as a systematic analysis of their common elements shows, which leads to a new description of ‘PC’ criticism as a defense of…[Read more]
Karsten Schubert deposited „Political Correctness“ als Kern der Politik. Mit Nietzsche gegen die neue Rechte in the group
Political Philosophy & Theory on Humanities Commons 4 months ago
The article develops the concept of “political judgement” – a new, affirmative understanding of the phenomena which are criticized as “political correctness” by both right-wing and liberal commentators. To that end, it takes the right’s claims, that “political correctness” is slave morality in Nietzsche’s sense seriously and proposes a systematic…[Read more]

Political Philosophy & Theory on Humanities Commons 4 months ago
How can freedom and resistance be conceived within Foucault’s theory of power and subjectivation? This central question of the interpretation of Foucault’s multi-layered work has been widely discussed and yet not satisfactorily answered. The fact that until today there has been little clarity about the status of freedom in Foucault’s work is also…[Read more]

Mit dem Begriff der Kunstvermittlung wird Politik gemacht und er wird mit gegenläufigen Verständnissen verknüpft. Das Buch “Was heißt hier Vermittlung?” arbeitet heraus, dass die Bedeutungskonkurrenz bereits im Streitbegriff der Vermittlung angelegt ist.

Political Philosophy & Theory on Humanities Commons 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Selbstbeschreibungen der Kunstpädagogik greifen oft auf binäre Logiken zurück – sei es, um eindeutige Ein- und Ausgrenzungen vornehmen zu können oder um spannungsvolle Zweierverhältnisse zum Ausgangspunkt kunstpädagogischer Überlegungen zu machen. Kunstpädagogische Komplexität ist ein Angebot, das sich neben solche Logiken stellt, wirbt dafür, Kun…[Read more]

Political Philosophy & Theory on Humanities Commons 9 months, 2 weeks ago
This book challenges an assumption at the heart of contemporary theoretical debates: that it is impossible to reason through history. Steele believes that two influential schools of contemporary thought “hide from history”: liberal philosophies of public reason as espoused by such figures as Jürgen Habermas, John Rawls and Martha Nussbaum and stru…[Read more]

Modern politika tanımlarında hâkim kavramlardan söz etmek olasıdır. Bu kavramlar arasında; iktidar, şiddet, hiyerarşi, güvenlik, kaynak dağıtımı öne çıkanlardır. Politika, birçoklarına göre, iktidarın ve gücün nasıl dağıtıldığı ve kullanıldığıyla ilgilidir. Politika, salt iktidarla ilişkili bir biçimde tanımlandığında, şiddet, politikanın…[Read more]
