Layers of Post-Development: De- and reconstructions in a world in which many worlds exist
(2021-02)

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.

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 ...

Verletzbarkeit als menschliches Charakteristikum
(Beltz Juventa, 2020)
Wenn Menschen an ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit gemessen und somit auf die Funktionsfähigkeit ihrer Körper und Sinne reduziert werden, können hierauf stigmatisierende und diskriminierende individuelle Handlungsweisen bzw. gesellschaftliche Ausgrenzungspraktiken und -strukturen folgen. Dies lässt sich auch an der Klassifizierung von Behinderung durch den Vergleich mit einer als Normalität konstruierten Funktionsfähigkeit in der Internationalen Klassifikation von Funktionsfähigkeit, Behinderung und Gesundheit (ICF) der ...
