Subversive Affirmation

Subversive Affirmation ist keine affirmative Kritik. Subversive Affirmation ist ein künstlerisches und aktivistisches Verfahren, das die Kräfte des Affirmativen nutzt, allerdings nicht nur, um Negation als einzige Praxis von Kritik abzulösen, sondern um alle Varianten von Zustimmung, auch ihre zerstörerische und (auto-)repressive Kraft, zu erkunden. Subversive Affirmation will weder negative Kritik noch kritiklose Affirmation sein. Das klingt paradox, und in dieser Paradoxie liegt der Erkenntniswert. Denn subversive Affirmation ist eine performative Kritik, die den möglichen Kippmoment von blindem ­Konformismus, von...

The book aims to draw constellations of different instances of withdrawal, ranging from passivity, failure, and refusal to disappearance and remembrance and to resilience and resistance. Understanding withdrawal as a concept that encompasses both cutting ties and reaffirming relations, the contributions collected here trace the...

Terrorism has been historically more successful when it was not...
