Martin Nonhoff and I are organising the spring conferecne of the DVPW-Section Political Theory and History of Ideas in March 2019. The conference topic (and title) is “Democracy and Truth”. You can find the call for papers by clicking on “Read more” or download it as a PDF . Both are in German, though, as this will be the conference language.
I have writen a small teaser for my book The Spell of Responsibility on the RLI blog. Read it on https://www.rowmaninternational.com/blog/against-responsibility.
This workshop (in German) will take place on 31 January 2018 at the university of Erfurt. Katharina Hoppe will give a talk on “Wahrsprechen und Bezeugen: Politik der Wahrheit nach Michel Foucault und Donna Haraway”; my own presentation is entitled “Auf Kritik reflektieren. Zur Praxis kritischer Theorien”.
Still searching for a last minute present? Look no further: Daniel Steuer’s translation of my dissertation Im Bann der Verantwortung has arrived! Significantly shortend and revised, it has just been published as volume two in the series Essex Studies in Critical Theory.
Paul Munzinger writes very interestingly about the extreme hierarchies at German universities in Süddeutsche Zeitung. And: The Bremen initiative in the political science institute is mentioned! For more on our perspective, see the text by Angelika Schenk, Arndt Wonka and myselfe: Jenseits der Infantilisierung.
[As this is a political discussion about the intricacies of the institutional set-up of German Universities and how to improve the so-called Mittelbau, I have not translated the text. Anyone interested in these details is probably able to read German anyway.]
Der unter_bau hat mich eingeladen, über die politische Initiative zur Umwandlung des Mittelbaus in (tenure-track Junior-)Professuren am Institut für Politikwissenschaft der Universität Bremen zu diskutieren. Die Argumente für diesen Weg in Richtung eines Department-Modells - statt der Verdauerung von Mittelbau-Stellen - haben Angelika Schenk, Arndt Wonka und ich in Jenseits der Infantilisierung skizziert.
