In view of its more recent global reception beyond Europe, our aim is to thus - following the lead of Dipesh Chakrabarty - provincialize Luhmann's system theory especially with regard to its underlying assumptions about a global "world society". For these purposes, we intend to revisit Luhmann in the post/colonial contact zone: We wish to reread Luhmann in the context of spaces of transcultural encounter where "global designs and local histories" (Mignolo), where inclusion into and exclusion from "world society" (Luhmann) clash and interact in intricate ways. The title of our contribution, 'Luhmann in da Contact Zone' is deliberately ambiguous: On the one hand, we of course use 'Luhmann' metonymically, as representative of a highly complex theoretical design. We shall cursorily outline this design with a special focus on the notion of a singular, modern "world society", only to confront it with the epistemic challenges of the contact zone. On the other hand, this critique will also involve the close observation of Niklas Luhman as a human observer (a category which within the logic of systems theory actually does not exist) who increasingly transpires in his late writings on exclusion in the global South. By following this dual strategy, we wish to trace an increasing fracture between one Luhmann and the other, between abstract theoretical design and personalized testimony. It is by exploring and measuring this fracture that we hope to eventually be able to map out the potential of a possibly more productive encounter between systems theory and specific strands of postcolonial theory for a pluritopic reading of global modernity.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{EcksteinWiemannWalleretal.2016, author = {Eckstein, Lars and Wiemann, Dirk and Waller, Nicole and Bartels, Anke}, title = {Postcolonial Justice}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-103220}, pages = {20}, year = {2016}, abstract = {In July 2014, some of us participated in a handover ceremony of 14 ancestral remains to their Australian traditional owners, performed on the premises of the Charit{\´e} Campus in Berlin.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Eckstein2017, author = {Eckstein, Lars}, title = {Sam Selvon, The Lonely Londoners (1956)}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-103285}, pages = {21}, year = {2017}, abstract = {This essay reads Sam Selvon's novel The Lonely Londoners (1956) as a milestone in the decolonisation of British fiction. After an introduction to Selvon and the core composition of the novel, it discusses the ways in which the narrative takes on issues of race and racism, how it in the tradition of the Trinidadian carnival confronts audiences with sexual profanation and black masculine swagger, and not least how the novel, especially through its elaborate use of creole Englishes, reimagines London as a West Indian metropolis. The essay then turns more systematically to the ways in which Selvon translates Western literary models and their isolated subject positions into collective modes of narrative performance taken from Caribbean orature and the calypsonian tradition. The Lonely Londoners breathes entirely new life into the ossified conventions of the English novel, and imbues it with unforeseen aesthetic, ethical, political and epistemological possibilities.}, language = {en} }
