Still searching for a last minute present? Look no further: Daniel Steuer’s translation of my dissertation Im Bann der Verantwortung has arrived! Significantly shortend and revised, it has just been published as volume two in the series Essex Studies in Critical Theory.
Paul Munzinger writes very interestingly about the extreme hierarchies at German universities in Süddeutsche Zeitung. And: The Bremen initiative in the political science institute is mentioned! For more on our perspective, see the text by Angelika Schenk, Arndt Wonka and myselfe: Jenseits der Infantilisierung.
[As this is a political discussion about the intricacies of the institutional set-up of German Universities and how to improve the so-called Mittelbau, I have not translated the text. Anyone interested in these details is probably able to read German anyway.]
Der unter_bau hat mich eingeladen, über die politische Initiative zur Umwandlung des Mittelbaus in (tenure-track Junior-)Professuren am Institut für Politikwissenschaft der Universität Bremen zu diskutieren. Die Argumente für diesen Weg in Richtung eines Department-Modells - statt der Verdauerung von Mittelbau-Stellen - haben Angelika Schenk, Arndt Wonka und ich in Jenseits der Infantilisierung skizziert.
All conferences yearn to become published - and ours is no different: From the conference “Überwachen und Strafen heute” that I organized together with Jörg Bernardy at the University of Bremen in 2015, a small selection of articles has now been published in the journal Foucault Studies.
Together with Thomas Biebricher I have put together a rather special edited volume: The Birth of Austerity. German Ordoliberalism and Contemporary Neoliberalism provides key texts from core thinkers of ordoliberalism, some of them translated into English for the first time, and features four original analyses that show why ordoliberalism is back on the agenda for critics and defenders alike.
Suhrkamp publishes today a collection of essays called “Die große Regression. Eine internationale Debatte zur geistigen Situation der Zeit” which will be published in several countries more or less simulteaneously. My review of some of the political diagnoses presented in the volume is now online: https://www.soziopolis.de/stichworte-zur-politischen-situation-der-zeit.html.
