        Geist der Utopie

        Erste Fassung

        by Ernst Bloch

        Im Sommer 1918 steht die Welt knietief in Blut: Der Krieg hat bereits Millionen von Opfern gefordert, die Spanische Grippe breitet sich aus, in Russland schlägt die Revolution in einen Bürgerkrieg um. Die alte Ordnung Europas wackelt und wird bald fallen. Eine ganze Generation – die Generation Y des vergangenen Jahrhunderts – steht auf einem Scherbenhaufen und schaut in eine ungewisse Zukunft. Im Sommer 1918 erscheint im Verlag Duncker & Humblot das Buch eines jungen Mannes, das Furore machen wird: Ernst Blochs Geist der Utopie. Im Angesicht des Schreckens, inspiriert von den philosophischen Strömungen der Jahrhundertwende und befeuert von den alternativen Lebensentwürfen der Reformer und Anarchisten auf dem Monte Verità, beschreibt Bloch darin den Menschen als ein radikal zur Utopie begabtes Wesen. Es ist ein Werk, das seine Zeit auf unnachahmliche Weise in Gedanken und Worte fasst, maßlos und streng, sozialistisch und messianisch, düster und voller Hoffnung. Nun ist die Zeit für eine Wiederentdeckung.

        Das Ende der politischen Utopie?

        by Richard Saage

        »Die Politik Gorbatschows hat tiefgreifende Veränderungen in der Sowjetunion eingeleitet. Sie ermöglicht nicht nur radikale Reformen in Staat und Wirtschaft der osteuropäischen Länder; sie scheint auch die Grundlagen der kommunistischen Utopie nachdrücklich in Frage zu stellen. Angesichts der Krise des sozialistischen Projekts im Osten wie im Westen dürfte es angebracht sein, über die historische Dimension und die aktuelle Bedeutung der ihm zugrunde liegenden Utopie nachzudenken. Ebendies ist das Thema der in diesem Band enthaltenen Studien Richard Saages.«

        Heimat als Utopie

        by Bernhard Schlink

        »So sehr Heimat auf Orte bezogen ist, Geburts- und Kindheitsorte, Orte des Glücks, Orte, an denen man lebt, wohnt, arbeitet, Familie und Freunde hat - letztlich hat sie weder einen Ort, noch ist sie einer. Heimat ist Nichtort. Heimat ist Utopie.«

        Anti-colonial research praxis

        Methods for knowledge justice

        by Caroline Lenette

        How can anti-colonial research methodologies be transformative and achieve knowledge justice? This book brings together an eclectic group of leading scholars from around the world to share methodological knowledge grounded in First Nations and majority-world expertise and wisdom. The authors challenge western-centric and colonial approaches to knowledge production and redefine the possibilities of what we can achieve through social research. First Nations and majority-world perspectives are contextual and unique. They share a common aim of disrupting established beliefs on research methodologies and the unquestioned norms that dictate whose knowledge the academy values. The ten chapters in this edited collection describe how the authors draw on Indigenous knowledge systems, feminist frameworks, and creative methodologies as anti-colonial research praxis. The examples span several disciplines such as development studies, geography, education, sexual and reproductive health, humanitarian studies, and social work. Authors use a reflexive approach to discuss specific factors that shape how they engage in research ethically, to lead readers through a reflection on their own practices and values. The book reimagines social research using an anti-colonial lens and concludes with a collaboratively developed and co-written set of provocations for anti-colonial research praxis that situate this important work in the context of ongoing colonial violence and institutional constraints. This book is an essential guide for researchers and scholars within and beyond the academy on how anti-colonial research praxis can produce meaningful outcomes, especially in violent and troubled times.

        Memoiren, gefunden in der Badewanne

        by Stanisław Lem, Walter Tiel, Klaus Staemmler, Klaus Staemmler, Stanisław Lem

        "Memoiren, gefunden in der Badewanne ist eine satirische Farce, eine surrealistische Anti-Utopie und eine Schmähschrift auf die absolute Bürokratie und den totalen Polizeistaat, in dem alles und jeder gelenkt, einem geheimen Zweck untergeordnet und von Spitzeln überwacht wird. Das »Gebäude«, eine Spionagezentrale, ist »unbesiegbar«; im Verlauf seiner Entwicklung ständig gewachsen, steht es im unaufhörlichen Kampf mit einem Antigebäude, einer gegnerischen Spionagezentrale, die es durchdrungen hat und von der es ebenso durchdrungen worden ist. Ob es die beiden »Gebäude« wirklich gibt oder ob der Widerstreit bloß eine gedankliche Konstruktion ist, das weiß kein Mensch mehr so genau. Auf jeden Fall sind Chaos und Ordnung, Zufall und Notwendigkeit, Sinn und Unsinn nicht zu unterscheiden - Memoiren, gefunden in der Badewanne: ein Zukunftsalptraum."

        Islamophobia, anti-racism and the British left

        by Scarlet Harris

        Islamophobia is one of the most misunderstood and pernicious forms of racism in Britain. But how do those committed to challenging Islamophobia understand it? And what does this mean for their practices 'on the ground'? Islamophobia, anti-racism and the British left combines first-hand accounts from activists and community workers across two British cities with sociological theory, critically interrogating Islamophobia's relationship to 'race', racial capitalism and other modalities of racism. Setting this discussion against some of the most pertinent political shifts in Britain in recent years - from the resurgence of left nationalism to Black Lives Matter - the book assesses the limits of recent attempts to think about and tackle Islamophobia, and considers the possibilities of an alternative approach from and for the anti-racist left.

        Learn to understand how you see others with this no-nonsense,practical guide• Teaches cultural humility• Provides practical guidance• Addresses internalized racismIn today’s society, anti-racist cultural competence is an essentialskill and not something meant only to be addressedby some. Issues tied to resolving racism and understandingand including diverse cultural points of view remain highlyconflictual – and the ability to deal with these issues effectivelyis often hindered by fear, anxiety, and a misunderstandingof what it means to be culturally competent withoutmaking people feel like outsiders. While many other modelsof cultural competence approach the issue as though lookinginto a fishbowl, this book views the issue as everyoneswimming in the water together, as part of a common ecosystemand community.

        Anti-terrorism, citizenship and security

        by Lee Jarvis, Michael Lister

        This book explores how different publics make sense of and evaluate anti-terrorism powers within the UK, and the implications of this for citizenship and security. Drawing on primary empirical research, the book argues that whilst white individuals are not unconcerned about the effects of anti-terrorism, ethnic minority citizens (including, but not only those identifying as Muslim) believe that anti-terrorism powers have impacted negatively on their citizenship and security. This book thus offers the first systematic engagement with 'vernacular' or 'everyday' understandings of anti-terrorism policy, citizenship and security. It argues that while transformations in anti-terrorism frameworks impact on public experiences of security and citizenship, they do not do so in a uniform, homogeneous, or predictable manner. At the same time, public understandings and expectations of security and citizenship themselves shape how developments in anti-terrorism frameworks are discussed and evaluated. This important new book will be of interest to researchers and students working in a wide range of disciplines including Political Science, International Relations, Security Studies and Sociology.

        Love and anti-Judaism in medieval English romance

        Typologies of violence and desire

        by Hope Doherty-Harrison

        Love and anti-Judaism is a new examination of medieval romance for the questions it poses of the most significant events in Christian history. Providing new readings of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sir Orfeo, Sir Gowther and Sir Amadace, the book argues that romance explores depictions of love-and the sacrifices it may necessitate-in the Hebrew Bible, especially where they do not easily fit into interpretations asserting that this history must prefigure Christ and the crucifixion. An examination of anti-Judaism as a discourse of violence and desire that could be turned inwardly to expose the irresolution in Christianity, this book will provoke new investigations into the religious crises of medieval romance.
