  Wozu Fachgeschichte und wer soll sie schreiben?

  Die Kultur- und Sozialanthropologie und ihr Verhältnis zur eigenen Geschichte und zu den Geschichtswissenschaften

  „Die beste Art, eine Wissenschaft mitzuteilen, sei Erzählung ihrer Geschichte“. Diese kluge Empfehlung von Heinrich Du Bois-Reymond, Gründungsmitglied der Berliner Gesellschaft für Anthropologie, Ethnologie und Urgeschichte, im Jahre 1872 entspricht allerdings nicht mehr der Praxis des wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Arbeitens.

  Theory in Love

  International Comparative Literature Association XXIst Congress - session 17327

  In The Politics of Friendship Derrida reflects on the question of the indecidable possibility, the “peut-être,” of love, of friendship, and of desire: “‘Je t'aime entends- tu?’; cette déclaration d'aimance hyperbolique ne pourrait donner sa chance à une politique de l'amitié que soumise à l'épreuve du peut-être, de l'indécidable” How then can we express a refusal, a no, without listening, without hearing? How can one express the divergent and differential possibilities opened by this phrase? And yet Derrida already has, in Envois, where he explores, theorizes and dramatizes a love affair, tracing the course of its refusal in the various postcards and letters which remain unsent, forever awaiting their destination. This panel concerns theory speaking in terms of love, seeking to establish the relationship between “ l’âmour” and theory.
