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.
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.
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.
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 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.
