What Is Considered to Be “Genuinely Jewish”
No full textAnhand von drei im Umkreis der Wiener Moderne entstandenen Artefakten analysiert dieser Essay das Verhältnis von jüdischer Selbst- und Fremdwahrnehmung an der Schwelle zum 20. Jahrhundert. Hintergrund bildet ein diskursiver Ansatz, welcher dem jüdisch konnotierten Ideal der sozialen Zugehörigkeit und der Authentizität sowie den damit verbundenen Hierarchisierungen eine neue Qualität gibt: Der künstlerische Kontext der drei Artefakte bildet sowohl den Rahmen des Essays als auch die historische Projektionsfläche für die Frage nach dem „echt Jüdischen“.While examining three artifacts originating in Viennese Modernism, this essay focuses on the self- and external perceptions of Jews within mainstream society at the threshold of the 20th century. A discursive approach of a specifically Jewish ideal of social belonging — concerning authenticity and associated stratification — provides a framework for understanding the artistic contexts of the three artifacts. This contextualization serves as a contemporary mirror for the questioning of what is considered to be "genuinely Jewish.
The Aesthetics of Codes in Grounded Theory Research: A Scientific-Literary Essay
Get PDFThe essay approaches research as an aesthetic practice that involves not only rational-cognitive experiences but also bodily-sensory and affective ones. I outline this assumption using the example of interpretation processes in Grounded Theory research. Here, the analysis of empirical data takes place in the circular process of elaborating codes and categories and aims to develop an empirically based theory. Codes in Grounded Theory research are both analytically condensed and condensing constructs themselves, as they are produced in a co-constructive process that takes place between the researchers and the data. The process of coding thus also implies a relational level—the relationship between the researchers and the field of research, represented by the data—and is characterized by emotions, feelings and bodily-sensory perceptions that shape the production of knowledge about this very field. The codes condense aesthetic experiences, making them available on a discursive and a (self-)reflexive level all at once. Therefore, the article applies the question ‘What do we do with codes?’ to the practice of qualitative social research and seeks to answer it from an aestheticizing perspective, focusing on subjectivity and its epistemological potential

Re-Constructing Femininities: Perverting Performance in Hannahlisa Kunyik’s Susanne fotografiert mich beim Bade (2011/2012/2018)
Get PDF“If representational visibility equals power, then almost-naked young white women should be running Western culture.” Peggy Phelan’s witty quote perfectly sums up the imbalance between in_visibility and (political) agency. One example of being hypervisibly naked while at the same time lacking agency is the subject of Susanna bathing, which, emerging from the Old Testament Bible story Susanna and the Elders, is one of the best-known and most-cited motifs of Western art history. In the intermedial installation Susanne fotografiert mich beim Bade (2011/2012/2018) by Viennese artist Hannahlisa Kunyik, Susanne is the one who sees.
In the following article, I shall analyze Kunyik’s artwork by introducing my concept of perverting performance as a subversive strategy for marginalized subjects to gain visual agency, as well as the possibility of visual re-constructions of femininities. The possibilities of a perverting performance can be understood in the repeated and parodying reversal of existing norms and modes of representation that have proven themselves to be normative through performative repetition in a cultural image repertoire. With the concept of perverting I revisit and reappropriate a term that has been used to produce Otherness and alterized sexuality

Decolonization and In_Visibilities in Colonial Archives: The FCO 141 Series and the (Redemptive?) Power of Placement
Get PDFTaking up the theme of placement within the context of in_visibilities, this _Perspective shares a series of reflections on the location and availability of colonial archives. It makes specific reference to the FCO 141 series at the National Archives at Kew (England), a series of files released as the result of a 2011 reparations case against the British government for the authorized and systemic use of torture during a war (1952–1960) leading to Kenya’s constitutional independence. The series is comprised of files removed from across the world as Britain’s empire fell, and is located in England despite a fifty-year history of restitution demands. By looking at the ambivalent relationship between archival location and the socio-political placement of the colonial past in England and Kenya, this _Perspective considers how archival custody (re)constructs in_visibilities of the colonial past in the present

You’re Not Hardcore Unless You Live Hardcore
Get PDFIn Generation Reagan Youth kombiniert Robert Winkler Rahel Jaeggis Kritik der Lebensformen mit Weißseinsforschung und New Historicism. Auf diese Weise kontextualisiert er die Positionen der US-amerikanischen Hardcore Punk Szene zum Neoliberalismus sowie ihre Schlüsselkonzepte von der Entstehung des Hardcore der ersten Generation in den 1970er bis in die 1990er Jahre. Da Winkler nicht auf eine Definition von Hardcore Punk besteht, sondern auch die Diversifizierung der Szene aufzeigt, die Gegenbewegungen wie Riot Grrrl, Queercore und Latino Punk einschließt, bietet er eine fesselnde Lektüre für Wissenschaftler_innen und ‚Hardcore Kids‘.In Generation Reagan Youth, Robert Winkler combines Rahel Jaeggi’s Critique of Forms of Life (2018) with whiteness studies and new historicism. He uses these to contextualize the U.S. hardcore punk scene’s stances on neoliberalism and its key concepts from the emergence of first-generation hardcore in the 1970s through the 1990s. Winkler not only constructs one concept of what hardcore is but points out the diversification of the scene to include countermovements such as Riot Grrrl, Queercore, and Latino Punk, providing a compelling read to scholars and hardcore kids
“Tick a box: Yes □ No □ Maybe □” — How Can Intimacy Be Negotiated Consensually?
Get PDFZur Unterscheidung zwischen übergriffigen und vereinbarten Sexualpraktiken ist Einvernehmlichkeit ein weithin anerkanntes Konzept. Doch wie lässt es sich genau definieren, praktizieren oder vermitteln? Der rezensierte, innovative Sammelband findet dafür Antworten an den Schnittstellen von Kunst und Pädagogik, die sich mit nuancierten Grauzonen einvernehmlicher Interaktionen befassen. Auf terminologische Differenzierungen, historische Hintergründe und Filmanalysen folgen didaktische Anleitungen, wie das Thema kreativ in der Bildungsarbeit umgesetzt werden kann.While consent has become a widely recognized concept to distinguish between mutually negotiated or abusively coerced sexual practices, there is no consensus on what exactly it entails and how it can be realized or taught in sex education. The reviewed book sheds some light on those questions by turning to art and pedagogy as spaces to reflect on the nuanced gray areas of consent. Its sophisticated terminological clarifications, historical backgrounds and film analyses are followed by didactical manuals suggesting how the topic can be creatively implemented in curricula
