  • Gender-Sternchen, Binnen-I Oder Generisches Maskulinum, … (Akademische) Textstile Der Personenreferenz Als Registrierungen?*
    Gender-Sternchen, Binnen-I oder generisches Maskulinum, … (Akademische) Textstile der Personenreferenz als Registrierungen?* Helga Kotthoff (Freiburg) Abstract For more than 40 years, a debate on gender-related person references has been taking place in the German-speaking world. My contribution starts with a differentiation of four registers, which are currently practiced in writing and have developed specific reasoning discourses and specific social contexts of usage, as I try to show. I am going to examine these four styles of gendered person reference as “registers” in the sense of anthropological linguistics (Agha 2007). This concept of “enregisterment” implies that the producers connect themselves to a socio-symbolic cosmos and can be perceived with cultural evaluations (in production and re- ception), for example, as conservative, feminist, queer, liberal (Kotthoff 2017). Here I shall explore their (socio)linguistic underpinnings within conceptions of language ideology in order to grasp the communication-reflexive charges of these discourses. 1 Einleitung Seit über 40 Jahren findet im deutschsprachigen Raum eine Debatte um geschlechterbezogene Personenreferenzen statt. Mein Beitrag setzt bei einer Binnendifferenzierung von vier Registern an, die sich inzwischen mit spezifischen sozialen Verortungen herausgebildet haben, was ich zu zeigen versuche. Die traditionelle Schreibpraxis mit einem generisch gemeinten, ge- schlechtsübergreifenden Maskulinum1 (Typ 1), wie sie etwa von Eisenberg (2017), Glück (2018) oder dem Verein für Deutsche

  • Graphemic Methods for Genderneutral
    Graphemic Methods for Gender­Neutral Writing Yannis Haralambous & Joseph Dichy Abstract. In this paper we present a model and a classification of graphemic gender­neutral writing methods, we explore current practices in French, Ger­ man, Greek, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish languages, and we investigate in­ teractions between gender­neutral writing forms and regular expressions. 1. Introduction: The General Issue of, and behind, Gender­ Neutral Writing The issue behind gender­neutral writing is that of the representation of inter­gender relations carried by languages. What is at stake is the representation of equality, or not, between genders. The issue is also re­ ferred to as “inclusive writing,” which apparently refers to human rights, but does not cover all cases, i.e., lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans­gender persons. The term “Gender­Neutral Writing” is, in fact, both clearer and more inclusive. Generally speaking, languages are conservative, if not archaic. A sig­ nificant example is that of the idea of time, which is traditionally repre­ sented as a dot sliding along a straight line in a continuous movement. This has been a philosophical image of time since ancient Greek philoso­ phers and throughout the Middle Ages both in Arabic and European phi­ losophy, but can no longer be considered as a valid representation after 20th century existentialist philosophers and Heidegger’s Sein und Zeit.

  • The German Institute for Human Rights
    Nova Acta Leopoldina NF 113, Nr. 387, 19 –24 (2011) The German Institute for Human Rights Beate Rudolf (Berlin) 1. Introduction The German Institute for Human Rights (Deutsches Institut für Menschenrechte) is the in- dependent National Human Rights Institution (NHRI) for Germany.1 It was established in March 2001 following a unanimous motion of the German federal parliament. In setting up a NHRI, Germany followed the example of many states, and heeded the recommendation made by the UN General Assembly in 1993.2 The German Institute for Human Rights is one of the few NHRIs that is organized as an institute, i.e. an institution with a focus on academic research. In its ten years of existence, the German Institute has acquired an excellent reputa- tion, both domestically and internationally. 2. National Human Rights Institutions The central purpose of National Human Rights Institutions is to help states comply with their obligations arising from international human rights law. NHRIs have been set up gradually in a number of countries since the early 1950s. The 1993 World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna brought new momentum to this development, emphasising the valuable contribution that NHRIs have made and can continue to make to promoting and protecting human rights on the national level. The UN General Assembly took up this idea; in its recommendation to the States, it incorporated the “Paris Principles”, a set of rules developed by academic experts that define NHRIs and the conditions for ensuring their independence.3 The Paris Principles provide that NHRIs must have a broad mandate to promote and pro- tect human rights.

  • Human Rights and History a Challenge for Education
    edited by Rainer Huhle HUMAN RIGHTS AND HISTORY A CHALLENGE FOR EDUCATION edited by Rainer Huhle H UMAN The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Genocide Convention of 1948 were promulgated as an unequivocal R response to the crimes committed under National Socialism. Human rights thus served as a universal response to concrete IGHTS historical experiences of injustice, which remains valid to the present day. As such, the Universal Declaration and the Genocide Convention serve as a key link between human rights education and historical learning. AND This volume elucidates the debates surrounding the historical development of human rights after 1945. The authors exam- H ine a number of specific human rights, including the prohibition of discrimination, freedom of opinion, the right to asylum ISTORY and the prohibition of slavery and forced labor, to consider how different historical experiences and legal traditions shaped their formulation. Through the examples of Latin America and the former Soviet Union, they explore the connections · A CHALLENGE FOR EDUCATION between human rights movements and human rights education. Finally, they address current challenges in human rights education to elucidate the role of historical experience in education.

Since human rights are rarely absolute, the “war on terror” has required legislatures and courts to determine the reasonable limits and qualifications to these rights. The German approach diverges from Australia in relation to the paramount constitutional status of the right to human dignity. Consequently, this German hierarchy of rights produces different outcomes in relation to the range and scope of permissible counter-terrorism measures. This is apparent in the ruling of the German Constitutional Court which declared void legislative powers authorizing the use of lethal force against hijacked aircraft. Similar powers inserted into the Defence Act 1903 (Cth) would not be amenable to similar challenge on grounds that they violate the right to human dignity.

LAND USE PLANNING AND CONTROL IN THE GERMAN FEDERAL REPUBLIC* NORMAN WENGERT** By American standards, land use planning and control in Germany is highly developed. In its effects it is considerably more comprehen- sive than land use planning in the United States, blanketing the entire country and dealing with a wide range of land use related subjects. Some would conclude, therefore, that it is more restrictive of both governmental and individual initiative and action. In any case, it seems obvious that the German experience would have considerable relevance to the American situation, if only because levels of indus- trialization are generally comparable, and both countries share a commitment to a market economic system and to democratic individualism. Although the literature on land use planning and control in the German Federal Republic' is substantial, very little has been written in English, and few German writings on the subject have been trans- lated. This article is, therefore, a beginning attempt to remedy this lack.

  • Trash Is Truth: Performances of Transgressive Glamour
    TRASH IS TRUTH: PERFORMANCES OF TRANSGRESSIVE GLAMOUR JON DAVIES A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Programme in Film and Video, Critical and Historical Studies. York University Toronto, Ontario June 2004 1 2 3 Abstract I will examine several transgressive and transformative performances of glamour in American queer cinema. Primarily, I will look at Mario Montez in the films of Andy Warhol and of Jack Smith (1960s), Divine in the films of John Waters (1970s), and George Kuchar in his own video diaries (1980s). These performances are contradictory, messy, abject, and defiant; they are also profoundly moving to identifying spectators. The power of these performances lies in their harnessing of the experience of shame from queer childhood as a force to articulate deviant queer subjectivities. By forging a radical form of glamour based on a revaluation of trash and low culture, these performances refuse to value authenticity over artifice, beauty over ugliness, truth over trash. This trash glamour is intimately connected to the intense star identification of Hollywood cinematic spectacle that was a survival strategy for queer male children in post-World War Two America. 4 Table of Contents Abstract 4 Table of Contents 5 Introduction 6 1.
