Pixelated flesh
No full textThe pixel and the technique of pixelating faces belong to a politics of fear and a digital aesthetics of truth which shapes public perceptions of criminality and the threat of otherness. This article will draw on Paul Virilio's account of the pixel in Lost Dimension in order to analyze its specific role and operation in relation to contemporary representations of incarceration. In particular, the article will consider the figure of the incarcerated informant. The incarcerated criminal or informant plays a complex role as both subversive other and purveyor of truth and as such constitutes an important example of the ways in which pixelation functions as a visible signifier of a dangerous truth whilst blurring, erasing and, ultimately, dehumanizing those "speaking" this truth. Our discussion forms part of a larger analysis of the production, framing and circulation of images of otherness, identifying Virilio as key to debates around the violence of the screen

"Sophie" - experimentum crucis of the “education naturelle”
No full textDer Beitrag untersucht Rousseaus Theorie der Geschlechterdifferenz in ihrer Bedeutung für die education naturelle und das Konzept des hommc naturel, Die These ist, daß „Sophie" den Teil der education naturelle darstellt, der für das Leben als homme naturel, eingeschränkt auf das autarke Privatleben, entscheidend wird. Dazu wird Rousseaus Argumentationsgang im V. Buch des „Emile", mit dem er sein Konzept der Frauenerziehung begründet, rekonstruiert. Die Diskussion der zentralen Prämissen führt zur Untersuchung der Stellung von „Sophie" im Konzept der education naturelle. „Sophie" wird von Rousseau als normatives Leitbild für Emile entworfen, das es ihm erlauben soll, seinen reproduktiven Pflichten nachzukommen, ohne sein Herz an die Frauen zu verlieren. Auch die Liebe, nicht nur die bürgerlichen Pflichten, beinhaltet nach Rousseau eine Abhängigkeit und damit eine Selbstentfremdung, die mit dem Konzept des homme naturel nicht zu vereinen ist. (DIPF/Orig.)The paper analyzes Rousseaus theory of the sexes and its importance to the "Education naturelle" and the concept of the "homme naturel". The author claims that "Sophie" constitutes that part of the "education naturelle" that is crucial to the possibility of leading a privat life as an "homme naturel". To substantiate this thesis, she analyzes how Rousseau argues for a specific education for women in book V of his "Emile". The discussion of the crucial premises leads to an inquiry into the place of "Sophie" within the concept of an "education naturelle". "Sophie" functions as a normative guideline for Emile in fulfilling his reproductive obligations without losing his heart to a woman. According to Rousseau, not only civil obligations but also love implies a dependency - and thus a self-alienation that is not consistent with his concept of the "homme naturel". (DIPF/Orig.
