Einleitung

Eine schöne Revolution
(1998)
This essay examines Italian Humanists' national discourses from Dante to Machiavelli and Guicciardini to demonstrate that the construction of a secondary foreignness emerges through the exclusion, rejection and devaluation of others. The familiarity with others and cornrnon membership in universal Middleage institutions(Church and Kingdom) are the preconditions for any foreigness construction. Thus the foreign is identified through a process of transition from intemal differenciation to exclusion. The authors use discourse analysis to focus on the transferal of cornrnunal and imperial cognitive pattems to a national context which leads to semantic modifications indicating the becoming foreign of the others. Accordingly the demarcation of space would be justified with recourse to an invented past, imagined to be one's own and not the past of the foreigners.
This study emphasizes the significance of language politics for a process of nation building and national self-identity as exemplified by France and Frenchspeaking Africa. Based on linguistic differences (between foreign languages and foreign language, one's own language and ones native language etc.) the foreign is identified in the field of language politics and is required in order to identify the domestic language as such. The privileging of national languages subsequently goes along with the marginalization and exclusion of other languages. That which can be considered foreign includes, on the one hand, a language used by an elite (Latin) or colonial power (the French in Afrika) and, on the other hand, foreign can be that which is excluded from the dominant language practices.
In this text the author argues that the emergence of social foreignness is a result of established-outsiders-figuration whereby the foreign is rendered in the Course of violent conflicts. Accordingly, modern forms of communication and mobilization enable the existence of ethnopolitical collective subjects. The starting point of the constmction of the foreign and - at the Same time - the most important sign of difference between the established and the outsiders is a conflicting interpretation of historically granted land rights.

Using quantitative evaluation and qualitative interviews with participants of the Scholar-Integration Program, this study identifies and examines the experience of otherness for East German scholars in the unified German academic System. As a sociology of estrangement in the case of 'internal otherness', this cultural and social foreigness grows out of one's fnistrated expectations of equal belonging. Those East German academics, who themselves are taken for foreign, describe a refusal to accept their failure to be accepted.
This survey of German sociological literature on the foreign considers the construction of foreigness from the standpoint of systems theory. The author focuses on two primary distinctions: familiarity/unfamiliarity and inclusion/exclusion. In the first case, the general standard for a System theory of the foreign is the unfamiliar;on a second level, the specific modem construction of the foreign unfolds the paradox of the familiarity with the unfamiliar.
In this study of otherness in the phenomenological philosophy, of Husserl, Derrida, Levinas and Waldenfels, it will be shown, how the other at first becomes a theme within tlie frame of reference defined by intentionalistic Phenomenology, but as a problem, that transcends this frame. Only a phenomenology that is radicalized according to a theory of difference and tumed ethical can make a claim for the radically other, thus preceeding every intentionality and evading any form of systematic thinking.
This essay examines the notion of the intellectual as a foreigner in hisher own land and its central importance for the self-understanding of intellectuals in the late 18th century. By attempting to narrate the history of motivs and characteristic topoi of speech, the authors identify an intemal foreigness or feeling of not belonging which manifests itself as an exclusion of the self and the foreign in the modes of polemics. Intellectuals stylize or masquerade themselves as foreigners to call into question the dismantling of their social circumstances and the indignity of their own position.
The authors analyse narrative strategies in an experimental work of the 1920s Japanese writer Kawabata Yasunari. This exegetical text answers to the difficulties of integrating 'foreign' influences within one's 'own' traditions. Narrating an elaborate blurring of borders between domestic and foreign the imported won't be marked as foreign, but used for a displacement of one's own cultural self-understanding.
Using discourse analysis, the authors identify the effects of different discoursive fields on the possibilities and constraints defining and subordinating the monstra. In the medieval thinking of ordo, moiistrn is an absolute transcendence that requires taming through discourse. The radically foreign must be considered as a part of the god-given order, even though this will impair its (the order's) beauty and clarity.
