It is used by the corporate industries as a synonym for the theft of protected media content with disastrous economic consequences. It is celebrated by technophile elites as an expression of freedom that ensures creativity as much as free market competition. Marxist critics and activists promote flapiracy as a subversive practice that undermines the capitalist world system and its structural injustices. Artists and entrepreneurs across the globe curse it as a threat to their existence, while many use pirate infrastructures and networks fundamentally for the production and dissemination of their art. For large sections of the population across the global South, piracy is simply the only means of accessing the medial flows of a progressively globalising planet.}, language = {en} } @article{Eckstein2019, author = {Eckstein, Lars}, title = {Lyrics als Paradigma einer anderen Moderne: M.I.A.s 'Galang'}, series = {Lyrik/lyrics : Songtexte als Gegenstand der Literaturwissenschaft}, journal = {Lyrik/lyrics : Songtexte als Gegenstand der Literaturwissenschaft}, publisher = {Wallenstein}, address = {G{\"o}ttingen}, isbn = {978-3-8353-3381-9}, pages = {173 -- 192}, year = {2019}, language = {de} } @article{Eckstein2020, author = {Eckstein, Lars}, title = {Reflections of Lus{\´a}ni Ciss{\´e}}, series = {Ideology in postcolonial texts and contexts}, journal = {Ideology in postcolonial texts and contexts}, publisher = {Rodopi}, address = {Leiden}, isbn = {978-90-04-42805-8}, doi = {10.1163/9789004437456_010}, pages = {147 -- 161}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Eckstein2007, author = {Eckstein, Lars}, title = {Three ways of looking at illegal immigration}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-85567}, pages = {141 -- 157}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @unpublished{EcksteinDengelJanic2008, author = {Eckstein, Lars and Dengel-Janic, Ellen}, title = {Bridehood revisited}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-85555}, pages = {19}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Eckstein2017, author = {Eckstein, Lars}, title = {Sam Selvon, The Lonely Londoners (1956)}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-103285},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} } @unpublished{EcksteinReindfandt2016, author = {Eckstein, Lars and Reindfandt, Christoph}, title = {Luhmann in da Contact Zone}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-103298}, pages = {15}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Our aim in this contribution is to productively engage with the abstractions and complexities of Luhmann's conceptions of society from a postcolonial perspective, with a particular focus on the explanatory powers of his sociological systems theory when it leaves the realms of Europe and ventures to describe regions of the global South. 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{EcksteinWiemann2013, author = {Eckstein, Lars and Wiemann, Dirk}, title = {Introduction}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-85457}, year = {2013}, language = {en} }
