Change Through Repetition
Art and politics are related through repetition. Both realms are structured by practices of repetition and share a common room of sens(e)uality – aesthetics in the emphatic sense of the word. It is the aesthetics and practices of repetition that reveal the relation between both realms. This volume proposes to explore aesthetic and cultural phenomena that effect change in the non-aesthetical realm, not so much in spite, but precisely because of their being 'mere' repetitions. Repetition shapes art works through procedures and processes of reproduction, copying, depiction, or reenactment. As representation of the world, mimetic art's relationship to the political and social world can be conc...
Zäsuren / Caesurae
Ein Sammelband zu Celans einzigem Israel-Besuch 1969 mit Beiträgen zu der Frage, wie diese »Wende« und »Zäsur« für sein Leben und Werk zu verstehen sind. Im Oktober 1969 besuchte Paul Celan Israel zum ersten und einzigen Mal und nannte diesen Besuch danach »eine Wende, eine Zäsur« in seinem Leben. Wie ist diese Zäsur zu verstehen, und was ist ihre Bedeutung für Celans Spätwerk? NachwuchswissenschaftlerInnen und etablierte ForscherInnen im Bereich der internationalen Celan-Forschung gehen diesen Fragen nach und eröffnen neue Zugänge zu Celans Israel-Besuch sowie zu den Gedichten, die Celan nach der Rückkehr in Paris schrieb und die sich explizit auf diese Reise beziehen.

Skepsis and Antipolitics: The Alternative of Gustav Landauer
Gustav Landauer was an unconventional anarchist who aspired to a return to a communal life. His antipolitical rejection of authoritarian assumptions is based on a radical linguistic scepticism that could be considered the theoretical premise of his anarchism. The present volume aims to add to the existing scholarship on Landauer by shedding new light on his work, focussing on the two interrelated notions of skepsis and antipolitics. In a time marked by a deep doubt concerning modern politics, Landauer’s alternative can help us to more seriously address the struggle for a different articulation of our communitarian and ecological needs.
The Poet and the World
A collection of seventeen essays on pre-modern Hebrew poetry in honor of Wout van Bekkum. The articles in this volume all seek to examine how the religious, cultural, and social context in which the poet functioned impacted on and is visible, either explicitly or more elliptically, in their poetical oeuvre. For this purposes a broad understanding of "world" has been accepted, including both the natural world and the constructed one (society, culture, language) as well as the spiritual and emotional world. History, a pillar of the man-made constructed world, has been used to determine the boundaries: from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages, and—in instances where the topic connects to older ...
Tsimtsum and Modernity
This volume is the first-ever collection of essays devoted to the Lurianic concept of tsimtsum. It contains eighteen studies in philosophy, theology, and intellectual history, which demonstrate the historical development of this notion and its evolving meaning: from the Hebrew Bible and the classical midrashic collections, through Kabbalah, Isaac Luria himself and his disciples, up to modernity (ranging from Spinoza, Böhme, Leibniz, Newton, Schelling, and Hegel to Scholem, Rosenzweig, Heidegger, Benjamin, Adorno, Horkheimer, Levinas, Jonas, Moltmann, and Derrida).
Fragen der Sprache in Gershom Scholems frühen Schriften
Dieses Buch bietet eine Untersuchung von Gershom Scholems frühen Schriften zur Frage der Sprache und entwickelt eine neue Methodologie, um Texte des modernen jüdischen Denkens in Bezug auf Gender-Fragen zu lesen. Scholems Texte (1916-1928) verbinden philosophische Fragen mit Diskussionen über die hebräischen Schriften und Sprache. In den Kapiteln werden Scholems Texte über die Klagelieder, das Hohelied und das Buch Jona sowie seine Gedanken über die Säkularisierung des Hebräischen behandelt. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt, wie Scholems Schriften eine "Ökonomie des Lesens" darstellen: bestimmte Aspekte der religiösen Texte werden aufdeckt, andere verborgen. Scholem findet in den ...
Denken und Sprechen ein Verbrechen?
Es werden sehr viele ?u?erungen und Texte strafverfolgt, die weder Unwahres noch Gewaltt?tiges beinhalten, keinen Aufruf zu Gewalt oder ?Ha?, sondern Gedanken und Informationen zur Verf?gung stellen zu rechtlicher und politischer Aufkl?rung, zu Geschichte und Zeitgeschehen. Kritiker und Dissidenten werden bezeichnet als ?Holocaustleugner?, ?Volksverhetzer?, ?Rassisten?, ?linke? oder ?rechte?, wei?e oder schwarze, christliche oder muslimische ?Antisemiten? und wegen reiner Wort?u?erungen wie Verbrecher behandelt. Genauer: Wegen Notrufen. Unerw?nschte Standpunkte und Argumentationen werden als ?Diskriminierung?, ?Hetze?, Rassismus?, ?Antisemitismus?, kurz als ?Hate Speech? (?Ha?rede?) etikettiert und ?d?rfen keinen Raum haben?. Aufdecken st?render Tatsachen = ?Hetze?, sich f?r sein Volk entscheiden = Diskriminierung?, sein Volk erhalten wollen = ?Rassismus?, Kritik an Juden = ?Antisemitismus?, unerw?nschter Standpunkt = ?Ha?, V?lkermord bestreiten = ?V?lkermord billigen?.
