In the meantime, we need to care for the dead. We need to return them, first, from the status of scientific objects to the status of ancestral human beings, and then progressively, and proactively, as close as possible to the care of those communities from whom they were stolen. 2016 20 urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-103278 Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik OPUS4-10319 unpublished Eckstein, Lars Reflections of Lusáni Cissé On the last sunny October weekend in 2015 I decided to cycle from my home in Berlin to the small town of Wünsdorf some 40 kilometres south of the city. 2016 17 urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-103196 Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik OPUS4-8558 unpublished Eckstein, Lars Belonging in music and the music of unbelonging in Richard Powers's The Time of Our Singing 2005 10 urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-85584 Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik OPUS4-10330 unpublished Eckstein, Lars Postcolonial Piracy Media piracy is a contested term in the academic as much as the public debate. 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globalising planet. 2016 urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-103307 Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik OPUS4-8556 unpublished Eckstein, Lars Three ways of looking at illegal immigration 2007 16 141 157 urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-85567 Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik OPUS4-8555 unpublished Eckstein, Lars; Dengel-Janic, Ellen Bridehood revisited 2008 19 urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-85555 Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik OPUS4-10328 unpublished Eckstein, Lars Sam Selvon, The Lonely Londoners (1956) This essay reads Sam Selvon's novel The Lonely Londoners (1956) as a milestone in the decolonisation of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. 2017 21 urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-103285 Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik OPUS4-10329 unpublished Eckstein, Lars; Reindfandt, Christoph Luhmann in da Contact Zone 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. 2016 15 urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-103298 Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik OPUS4-8545 unpublished Eckstein, Lars; Wiemann, Dirk Introduction 2013 urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-85457 Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik OPUS4-10322 unpublished Eckstein, Lars; Wiemann, Dirk; Waller, Nicole; Bartels, Anke Postcolonial Justice 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 Charité Campus in Berlin. 2016 20 urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-103220 Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik OPUS4-10326 unpublished Eckstein, Lars; Wiemann, Dirk Kleine Kosmopolitismen Das große Projekt der Aufklärung und damit auch der kosmopolitischen Idee war bereits in seinen Ursprüngen ambivalenter als gemeinhin anerkannt wird.
