Vier Grundtypen von Zeugenschaft
No full textAn erudite, yet accessible cultural essay, reconstructing historical and cultural varieties of testimonies, which led to the emergence of various kinds of witness figures and types of testimonies. By introducing this order, it is easier to see and understand the specificity of oral history – both the “normal” and the “Holocaust” one – against the backdrop of court witness and religious testimonies. Assmann’s text lends itself to being read in a variety of ways – including as a culturological source study.

Verdade e coragem: uma leitura crítica da parrhesía socrática e cínica em Michel Foucault
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Filosofia, Florianópolis, 2013.O presente trabalho propõe-se a investigar a relação entre verdade e subjetividade ? o modo pelo qual o sujeito esculpe sua própria existência à medida que se obriga à verdade ?, entrelaçando as esferas da política e da ética nas últimas obras de Michel Foucault (1926 ? 1984), de 1982 a 1984. Esta relação assume a forma da parrhesía, noção de origem grega que designa a fala franca, o dizer-a-verdade. Os últimos cursos do Collège de France demonstram toda a efervescência do pensamento filosófico do último Foucault: neles se encontra a análise histórica da confissão no cristianismo primitivo, a elaboração dos conceitos de cuidado de si e de parrhesía no pensamento antigo, o comentário ao texto de Kant sobre o Iluminismo. Todas essas análises consentem que se desenvolva uma nova concepção de subjetividade, uma nova concepção de verdade e uma nova concepção de filosofia. Para ele, não interessa saber ?qual é a verdade?, mas como algo se institui como verdade numa dada época; construída mediante práticas analisáveis historicamente, existente em todas as culturas. Mas também pensada como efeito dos mecanismos de poder que incidem sobre a ?alma? do sujeito. Será nas práticas ascéticas da Antiguidade greco-romana que Foucault encontrará respostas para a constituição de uma subjetividade não normativizada como prática libertadora mediante a busca de novas formas do dizer-verdadeiro. Vê-se surgir uma nova possibilidade de pensar a ética sob o prisma da estética da existência, entendida como a forma que se pode dar à própria vida por meio da relação do sujeito com a verdade, sendo Sócrates e os cínicos as principais referências desta constituição ético-ascética do sujeito.Abstract : The present study aims to investigate the relationship between truth and subjectivity - the way the subject carves his own existence as obligating himself to the truth - interlacing the spheres of politics and ethics in latest works of Michel Foucault (1926 - 1984), from 1982 to 1984. This relationship takes the form of parrhesía, the Greek's origin notion that means the frank speech or the telling-the-truth. The last courses at the Collège de France show all philosophical ebullience of the late Foucault: therein lies the historical analysis of confession in primitive Christianity, the development of the concepts of self care and parrhesía in ancient thought, the comment on the Kant's text about Enlightenment. All these analysis allow the development of a new subjectivity conception, a new conception of truth and a new conception of philosophy. For him, it doesn't matter to know "what is the truth", but how something is established as true at a given time; built upon historically analyzable practices, existing in all cultures. But this truth also thought as an effect of power mechanisms that fall upon the "soul" of the subject. It will be in the ascetic practices of Greco-Roman antiquity that Foucault will find answers for the constitution of a non standardized subjectivity as a realeasing practice by seeking new ways of telling the true. It arises a new possibility of thinking about ethics from the perspective of the existence aesthetics, understood as the shape life may take through the subject's relation with the truth, being Socrates and the Cynics the main references of this ethical-ascetic constitution of the subject
Paul Assmann (1881–1967): Erforscher der Geologie Oberschlesiens
No full textPaul Assmann arbeitete über mehrere Jahrzehnte als kartierender Geologe an der (Königlich) Preußischen Geologischen Landesanstalt und ihren Nachfolge-Institutionen. Sein Hauptbetätigungsfeld war die Trias von Oberschlesien (heute Polen). Neben bio- und lithostratigraphischen Untersuchungen machte er sich um die paläontologische Revision der Wirbellosen der Trias verdient. Zahlreiche Fossilien und Belegstücke aus Aufschlüssen und Bohrungen sind in den Sammlungen der Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe überliefert. Assmann ist Autor von 29 geologischen Karten.Paul Assmann was employed in the Geological Survey of Prussia (Preußische Geologische Landesanstalt) 1908–1939. His main duty was the geological mapping of Upper Silesia (Oberschlesien, today Poland), particularly of the Triassic. His scientific work contains bio- and lithostratigraphic investigations of the Triassic and the palaeontological revision of Triassic invertebrate fossils, which he had collected. His publications are of great importance even today, especially his paleontological works. He is the author of 29 geological maps

Honour and recognition in the German novel of banditry ca 1800
No full textThis article performs a reading informed by Honneth’s theory of recognition of the two best-known German novels of banditry of the 1790s, Johann Heinrich Zschokke’s Abaellino der große Bandit (1794) and Christian August Vulpius’ Rinaldo Rinaldini (1799) in an effort to understand how popular literature participates in and reflects upon the discourse on honour and recognition around 1800. Its status as popular genre makes the novel of banditry (Räuberroman) a potentially interesting source on shifts in the theory and practice of honour as experienced by ordinary Europeans at the turn of the 19th century. The genre was found to relate to the honour discourse not directly, but in the manner of a heterotopia, simultaneously located outside that discourse and referentially connected to it. Taken in isolation, the novel of banditry is not an informative source on the changing role of honour and new patterns of intersubjective recognition in late 18th century Europe. Seen as part of a particular constellation of textual production and reception, however, the genre sheds light on the aporias of honour experienced by those socially marginal ‘new readers’ intent on exploiting literature in the struggle for enhanced social recognition.Peer reviewe
