        Die Haitianische Revolution und die Dekolonisierung des Politischen

        by Jeanette Ehrmann

        Die Haitianische Revolution (1791-1804) war die einzige erfolgreiche Revolution versklavter Menschen und begründete mit der Republik Haiti den dritten Verfassungsstaat der modernen Welt. Dennoch verschwindet sie in Geschichtsschreibung und Philosophie häufig hinter der Amerikanischen und der Französischen Revolution. Im Anschluss an die postkoloniale und feministische politische Theorie legt Jeanette Ehrmann sowohl eine umfassende Deutung der revolutionären Ideen und Praktiken als auch der Dialektik der Emanzipation vor. Sie zeigt, wie tief Kolonialismus, Versklavung und Rassismus in das Selbstverständnis der Moderne eingeschrieben sind und eröffnet einen kritischen Horizont für eine Dekolonisierung des Politischen.

        The Malleus Maleficarum

        by Peter Maxwell-Stuart

        A shocking glimpse into the mind of a medieval witch hunter. In 1487, the zealous Dominican inquisitor Heinrich Kramer wrote a treatise that would have a remarkable influence on European history. Blaming women for his own lust, and frustrated by official complacency before what he saw as a monstrous spiritual menace, Kramer penned a practical guide to aid law officers in the identification and prosecution of witches. Fusing theology, lurid anecdotes and advice for those engaged in combating sorcery, The Malleus Maleficarum transports the reader into the dark heart of medieval belief - where fear of the supernatural provokes a gripping struggle for understanding and control. Kramer's book led to the burning of numerous innocents and had a lasting impact on the popular image of witchcraft. It remains a sinister symbol of fanaticism and cruelty to this day.

        Nachtgewächs

        Roman

        by Djuna Barnes, Wolfgang Hildesheimer, Jeanette Winterson

        Djuna Barnes (1892–1982) gehört zu den größten amerikanischen Autoren des 20. Jahrhunderts. Nightwood ist ihr wichtigstes Buch, ein Klassiker der Moderne par excellence. Der Roman, erschienen 1936, wird neu, mit einem Nachwort von Jeanette Winterson, vorgelegt. Nachtgewächs, der Roman der Liebe einer Frau zu einer anderen Frau – einer Leidenschaft, die unstillbares Verlangen in der einen und tiefe Einsamkeit in der andern weckt –, wäre nicht geschrieben worden, wenn die Liebe zu der Bildhauerin Thelma Wood die Autorin nicht bis in die tiefste Verzweiflung geführt hätte.

        Schriften zur Ethnologie

        by Fritz Kramer, Tobias Rees, Tobias Rees

        Die eigene Welt mit den Augen einer fremden Welt zu sehen, das ist identisch mit der Anstrengung, eine andere Gesellschaft aus sich selbst heraus zu verstehen. Zur Frage steht also: Wie sehen wir außereuropäische Kulturen, wie stellen wir sie dar — und umgekehrt, wie sehen andere Kulturen uns? In den hier gesammelten Essays geht Fritz Kramer diesen Fragen sowohl in ethnographischer wie genealogischer Perspektive nach.
