The Power of Tolerance:A Debate with Wendy Brown and Rainer Forst
No full textThe ideal of tolerance is only invoked once there is a conflict. But what does it mean to answer a conflict with a call for tolerance? Is tolerance a form of conflict resolution or rather a means of sustaining? Does tolerance help to turn conflicts into productive tensions or does it perpetuate the power relations underlying conflicts? To what extent does tolerance hide its involvement with power and thereby constitute a form of de-politicization? At the same time, the discourse of tolerance also produces its own conflicts and tensions: from the controversies on what should be tolerated and up to what point, to the use of violence against intolerant cultures and practices. Tolerance is at once a celebrated and a highly contested term of political discourse and social practice. How can it be seen on the one hand as an attitude of superiority as well as a practice of domination, and on the other hand as an instrument in the fight for justice, a stepping stone towards recognition and the realization of ‘the good society’? What is the difference between the attitude of tolerance and the practice of toleration? What kind of social identities does tolerance produce? In the third ICI Spannungsübung, Wendy Brown (UC Berkeley) and Rainer Forst (University of Frankfurt/Main) discussed different discourses of tolerance, their normative premises, limits, and political implications. The main focus was on social and political conflicts over the recognition of differences in civil societies, national politics, and transnational relations.Wendy Brown is Emanuel Heller Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley. She received her Ph.D in political philosophy from Princeton University in 1983 and taught at Williams College and at the University of California Santa Cruz prior to going to Berkeley in 1999. Brown’s interests include the history of political theory, critical theory, and cultural theory (including postcolonial, feminist, and critical race theory). Her current research focuses on the relationship of political sovereignty to global capital and other transnational forces, including those identified as religion, law, culture and morality. Brown’s most recent book is Regulating Aversion: Tolerance in the Age of Identity and Empire (Princeton UP, 2006). Rainer Forst is Professor of Political Theory and Philosophy at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt/M., and one of the most original representatives of the younger generation of the Frankfurt School of critical theory. He received his doctorate under the supervision of Jürgen Habermas in 1993 (engl. Contexts of Justice, Univ. of Calif. Press 2002, German 1994). His areas of research are moral philosophy and political theory, esp. issues of tolerance, democracy, political and social justice. Forst’s book on tolerance (German edition in 2003) provides a comprehensive study of the controversial, but highly relevant topic: Tolerance in Conflict. History, Content and Presence of a Controversial Concept (Cambridge UP 2009). His most recent book is The Right to Justification (Columbia UP 2009, German 2007)

Monatomic steps on reconstructed
No full textThe interference pattern of surface state electrons which are
scattered from monatomic steps on the \chem{Au(111)} surface is
studied with Scanning Thermovoltage Microscopy at 80 kelvin. The
step contours are periodically modulated by the underlying
herringbone surface reconstruction and act like
a long-period diffraction grating. This leads to a characteristic
rhomb-shaped interference pattern in front of the step (Talbot
effect). A simulation of electron scattering from such steps
shows good agreement with our experiments and allows the
interpretation of earlier data in a new and consistent way. We
rule out the confinement of surface states due to the
reconstruction potential is responsible for the observed wave
pattern

Kindred Spirits - A comparative Analysis of Yoko Tawadas "Paul Celan und der chinesische Engel" and Rainer Maria Rilkes "Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge"
No full textGegenstand der vorliegenden Masterarbeit ist Yoko Tawadas im Jahr 2020 erschienener Roman "Paul Celan und der chinesische Engel". Durch einen komparativen Vergleich mit Rainer Maria Rilkes "Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge" wurde der These nachgegangen, dass die Suche nach alternativen Deutungsansätzen für die Welt, die ihrer erlebten Wirklichkeit gerecht werden, die Seelenverwandtschaft der beiden Hauptfiguren der Texte ausmacht. Als produktiver Ausgangspunkt für die komparative Analyse wurden die Theorien des Philosophen Jean-François Lyotards zur Postmoderne benutzt, die für das Erkenntnissinteresse dieser Arbeit adaptiert wurden. Anhand Textbeispielen aus den Romanen wurden Gemeinsamkeiten und Differenzen zwischen den Protagonisten in den Umgang mit den in beiden Romanen vorkommenden Themenkomplexen, wie die Sprach- und Erkenntnisskrise, aufgezeigt. Der Schwerpunkt wurde dabei auf Yoko Tawadas Anliegen und Werk gelegt, die durch den Vergleich mit Rainer Maria Rilkes Roman als produktives Gegenüber, im literarischen Diskurs der Moderne und Postmoderne positioniert wurde. Auf dieser Weise wurde dargestellt welche ausgrenzende Macht Meta-Erzählungen ausüben, und wie individuelle Perspektiven, durch die „Suche nach Paralogie“, dazu beitragen können, vielfältigere Kulturräume zu erschaffen, die mehrere Menschen und deren Lebensrealitäten widerspiegeln.The subject of this thesis is Yoko Tawada’s "Paul Celan und der chinesische Engel", published in 2020. Through a comparative analysis with Rainer Maria Rilke’s "Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge" the hypothesis is examined that the search for alternate interpretative approaches, that do justice to their experiences of reality, makes the main characters of the respective texts kindred spirits. As a productive approach for the comparative analysis, the postmodern theories of the philosopher Jean-François Lyotard were employed, modified for the interests of this thesis. By using textual evidence from the two novels, similarities, and differences in the two protagonists’ approach to the range of topics present in both texts, such as the existential crisis of language, was explored. Emphasis was placed on Yoko Tawada’s work and concerns, which through comparison with Rainer Maria Rilke’s text, served to place Tawada in the literary discourse surrounding modernism and post-modernism. Thus, the marginalising power of meta-narratives was illustrated, as well as the way in which individual perspectives and the “quest for paralogy” can contribute to creation of more diverse cultural spaces, that reflect a wider range of life experiences.Tysk mastergradsoppgaveTYS350MAHF-TYSMAHF-LÆF
