Jenseits des Horizonts
(Schwabe Verlag, 2022)
Im Folgenden ist deshalb zu überlegen, was diesseits und was jenseits des kartografischen Horizonts damaliger Menschen lag, wie sich die Relationen zwischen beiden Zonen in Abhängigkeit von Zeit, visualisiertem Raum und vorhandenem Wissen verschoben und welche Relevanz dem jenseitig Gelegenen dabei zukam. Es ist also nach den Dynamiken am Horizont zu fragen, dem Suchen und Überschreiten, den Akten des Stabilisierens und Flexibilisierens, den erkenntnistheoretischen Voraussetzungen und den kulturellen Praktiken, die ...

Geschichtswissenschaft
(2021-07-15)
Die mittelalterliche Geschichte ist derzeit noch relativ fester Bestandteil des allgemeinen Geschichtsunterrichts, obwohl die zeitliche Differenzierung durch die Kompetenzorientierung in den Lehrplänen immer weiter zurückgedrängt wird. Anders als rein chronologisch-inhaltliche Lehrpläne bietet die Kompetenzorientierung jedoch grundsätzlich gute Möglichkeiten, ‚mittelalterliches‘ Material einzubauen. In den meisten geisteswissenschaftlichen Fakultäten existiert in der Regel – mit einigen Ausnahmen – eine eigene ...

Community-Based Associations and Rural Development in Rwanda: A Local Perspective on the Contribution of Social Capital to Human Capabilities
(2022)
The post-World War II political discourse around development has stimulated academic debates in recent decades. While some of these debates simply aim to transform the development mainstream, many others among the post-colonial thinkers are more critical of and even reject mainstream development ideologies. Despite the valuable academic debates, most development practitioners seem to have remained unresponsive to some of the allegations. Their concept is incorporated in much of the contemporary political narratives ...

Layers of Post-Development: De- and reconstructions in a world in which many worlds exist
(2021-02)
Post-Development as a critique of ‘development’ is almost as fuzzy and amoeba-shaped as the concept, discourse and practice it has long proclaimed as failed (Ziai 2015). While alternatives to ‘development’ have been called for, it remains unclear as to ‘alternatives to what?’ and ‘what kind of alternatives’ are in demand and by whom. The approach of this paper is to understand Post- Development as a set of theories, strategies and visions that all depart from a similar critique of ‘development’ as imperial and hegemonic ...

Bridging the postcolonial political-economy divide. Towards a Theoretical Framework.
(2020-04)
Points of contact between the postcolonial studies’ field of research and international political economy (IPE) are rare. On the one hand, one can note a reluctance in postcolonial scholarship to open up for economic analysis. On the other hand, IPE literature has been somewhat resistant to take up the postcolonial critique. This paper offers an interdisciplinary approach by merging the two discrete disciplines on poststructuralist grounds, suggesting principles for a postcolonial-political economy approach and ...
