This collaborative workshop will engage in a close reading and critical analysis of primary source documents (in English translation) from 4 key moments in post-World War II German history: an excerpt of a transcript from a focus group discussion among working-class women held in 1950 in Frankfurt/Main, in which themes of Nazi sexual politics and the tenacious persistence of antidisability animus and “eugenic” propaganda are evident; excerpts from the testimony of coercive sterilization survivors and a historian advocating on their behalf at a session of the Bundestag in 1987; politicians’ cross-party motion of 2011 calling for a federal memorial to the victims of the Nazi “euthanasia” murders; and AfD and CDU campaign posters expressing opposition to inclusion of children with disabilities in mainstream schools.

Ethnographic researchers can find themselves confronted with a deceptively simple question: What am I doing here? In the field, researchers regularly encounter moments of uncertainty, ethical tension, and contradiction, particularly when working from feminist and intersectional perspectives that foreground questions of power, positionality, and responsibility.

Organisiert von der Basisgruppe Antifaschismus Debatten um demokratisch-sozialistische Planwirtschaft werden aktuell wieder verstärkt geführt. Dabei steht insbesondere die Frage im Vordergrund, wie gesellschaftliche Produktion eigentlich nach dem Kapitalismus organisiert sein müsste: Wie kann eine Utopie außerhalb von Märkten, Lohnarbeit und Ausbeutungsverhältnisse aussehen? Viele der der […]

Following Charis Thompson’s concept of ‘Ontological Choreography’ (2005) the workshop engages with the production of different subjectivities in the speaker‘s fields of study through shifting the foucauldian idea of the order of the discourse towards a focus on material-discursive practices. This means that not only […]

Nach den jüngsten Wahlen in Spanien zeichnete sich eine Pattsituation ab, in der weder die PP- noch PSOE-geführte Wunschkoalition eine Mehrheit hinter sich vereinen konnte. Zum plötzlichen Königsmacher in den Gesprächen um die Regierungsbildung avancierten die katalanischen Nationalisten von links und rechts, die letztlich die […]

Paraconsistency is the view that logical contradictions do not imply everything, and dialetheism is the view that some contradictions are actually true. Though both views are currently unorthodox, they have recently been at the centre of a number of debates in logic and metaphysics. In this talk Prof. Graham Priest will explain these views, their history, and some of the issues that surround them.

Professor Graham Priest will give a formal model of dialectical progression, as found in Hegel and Marx. The model is outlined in the first half of the paper, and deploys the tools of a formal paraconsistent logic. In the second half, He will discuss a number of examples of dialectical progressions to be found in Hegel and Marx, showing how they fit the model.
