Diskursanalyse der Konfliktszenarien in der postmodernen Philosophie

Brandt, Marieke 17 January 2005 (has links)
Die Philosophie der Postmoderne sieht sich als eine Bewegung der Befreiung und der kulturellen Emanzipation. Von ihrer anti-totalitären Inspiration her ist die postmoderne Philosophie mit der Hoffnung auf ein Nachkriegs-Zeitalter verbunden, weil sie mit der Zeit der Totalitäten auch die Zeit des Krieges hinter sich bringen zu können glaubt. Hingegen zeigt eine Diskursanalyse der Schriften von drei Philosophen, die für das Gedankengebäude der philosophischen Postmoderne von zentraler Bedeutung sind - Jean-Francois Lyotard, Jean Baudrillard und Paul Virilio - zwei besondere Widersprüche auf, welche die pluralistische Option der postmodernen Philosophie in Frage stellen und damit auch ihren Anspruch, mit dem Zeitalter der Totalisierungen die Versuche zur gewaltsamen Assimilation des Anderen zu beenden und eine Rehabilitation der Anerkennung kultureller Unterschiede herbeizuführen. Zum einen beinhaltet der postmoderne philosophische Diskurs keine Ausbildung einer "positiven Barbarei" (Lyotard), sondern eine negativ konnotierte, anarchische Regellosigkeit. Zum anderen ist auch die Idee von der Differenz als der "ontologischen Dignität" der Postmoderne in sich inkohärent; vielmehr ist in postmodernem Gedankengut ein fundamentaler Entdifferenzierungsprozess angelegt. Aufgrund dieser inhärenten Widersprüche können postmoderne Theoretiker zu einer Ausbreitung eben jenes Gedankenguts und jenes Gewaltpotentials beitragen, dessen Verschwinden sie ursprünglich beabsichtigten. Wo immer heute, im Zeitalter eines entstehenden Welt-Innenraums und der vielfältigen interkulturellen Kontakte, das Konzept von Postmodernität als ein Programm zur besseren Akzeptanz des kulturell Anderen und zur Erziehung der verschiedenen Akteure im Geist der Toleranz ins Gespräch gebracht werden sollte, ist daher Skepsis angebracht. / The philosophy of the postmodern regards itself as a movement of liberation and cultural emancipation. In view of its anti-totalitarian inspiration postmodern philosophy is linked with the hope of a post-war age, because it believes it can put the times of war behind it together with the times of totalities. A discourse analysis of the writings of three philosophers who are of central importance for the body of ideas of the philosophical postmodern - Jean-Francois Lyotard, Jean Baudrillard und Paul Virilio - however reveals two particular contradictions which place a question mark against the pluralistic option of postmodern philosophy and hence against its claim to end the attempts at violent assimilation of the other together with the end of the age of totalization and to bring about a rehabilitation of the recognition of cultural differences. On the one hand the postmodern philosophical discourse does not comprise the evolution of a "positive barbarity" (Lyotard) but an anarchical lack of rules with negative connotations. On the other hand the idea of difference as the "ontological dignity" of the postmodern is in itself incoherent; it is rather the case that postmodern thought involves a fundamental process of de-differentiation. Because of these inherent contradictions in postmodern discourse postmodern theoreticians can contribute to the spread of precisely those ideas and that potential for violence whose disappearance they originally intended. Wherever today, in the age of a developing world inner space and of a multiplicity of intercultural contacts, attempts are made to propose the concept of postmodernity as a programme for the better acceptance of the cultural other and for the education of the various actors in a spirit of tolerance, these must be encountered with scepticism.

From constellations to autoprohibition: everything you wanted to know about Adorno's ethics (but were afraid to ask Zizek)

Webb, Dan 06 1900 (has links)
This project is centered on two primary concerns. First, to reformulate Adornos notion of ethical subjectivity in a way that allows for a clearer articulation of his normative position, and second, to make it more relevant to our contemporary social context and advances in social theory. My claim is that we can achieve this by rejecting Adornos philosophical method (negative dialectics and constellations) by reading his ethics through the lens of ieks method which I am calling autoprohibition. As I will show, autoprohibition is ieks strategy for breaking the deadlock of the dialectic of enlightenment and its accompanying defeatist politics by developing a dialectical theory that neither rests on pure negation nor falls into the totalising and reifying trap of orthodox Marxism. It is in the context of autoprohibition that one can rearticulate Adornos normative imperatives (specifically, the imperative to end suffering, and to recognise the truth-content of the body) without these imperatives being negated by the totalising dictates of the dialectic of enlightenment. The best way to redeem the important normative components of Adornos formulation of ethical subjectivity is to reject its underlying philosophical method and resituate it in another. I frame this methodological shift as one from constellations to autoprohibition, which allows for a more positive articulation of Adornos ethics; a plan for actively practising an ethical life vs. one premised on the rejection of participating in an unethical system (which Adornos ethics amounts to on my account).

Pentecostal and postmodern hermeneutics: comparisons and contemporary impact

Noel, Bradley Truman 30 November 2007 (has links)
The focus of this practical theological study is Pentecostalism, and the relationship between the hermeneutics of Pentecostalism and Postmodernism. Through a literary search, we observe the points of congruency between the hermeneutics of early Pentecostals and the key tenets of Postmodernism. We note the unprecedented acceptance of Pentecostal scholars into the larger theological world and question whether this is a result of the increased Modernization of Pentecostal hermeneutics. The Postmodern world of youth is explored, and we observe their tremendous openness to spirituality. This thesis will show that Pentecostals may contribute to the Christian world a Pentecostal hermeneutic that will speak a relevant message to generations of youth. Chapters two and three examine the convergent viewpoints of Pentecostalism with Postmodernity, in terms of rationalism, narratives, and the place of experience in life and theology. Chapter four highlights the hermeneutical debate between Gordon D. Fee and his Pentecostal responders, noting the Modern approach in the principles debated. Chapter five seeks to provide interaction with a giant of theology seldom engaged by Pentecostals - Rudolf Bultmann - and his modern followers, and explores the world of Postmodern youth. Chapter six explores the work of Kenneth Archer, who has proposed a specific Pentecostal hermeneutical approach, and chapter seven discusses the role of the Holy Spirit in hermeneutics, including whether Pentecostal experience may be considered an ”edge” in hermeneutics. Chapter eight summarizes the findings of this study. / Practical Theology / D. Th (Practical Theology)
