Living Together
Discourses on Citizenship in Turkey
Zusammenfassung
Zur aktuellen Kritik an der modernen Politik gehören die Debatten über die heutigen Probleme der Demokratie, der politischen Partizipation, der Öffentlichkeit, des Pluralismus, des Geschlechts, der Ökologie und der Freiheit, um nur einige zu nennen. Es darf aber nicht vergessen werden, dass die Probleme des Zusammenlebens zunächst die Überwindung der Sichtweise von Politik als einem Akt zwischen Individuen, Nationen, Institutionen und politischen Ideologien erfordert. Tatsächlich ist das Problem des Zusammenlebens eine Frage des Zusammenlebens mit den anderen, mit dem Staat und den Institutionen, mit Tieren und Natur, mit Kunst und Kulturen. Diese politische Dimension manifestiert sich auch in jedem Element des praktischen Lebens und macht es notwendig, Geschlecht, Behindertenrechte, Natur und Ökologie, Tiere, soziale Medien, Fragen der kulturellen, intellektuellen und künstlerischen Freiheit in der Praxis und Politik des Zusammenlebens zu berücksichtigen. Deshalb hat das Zusammenleben nicht nur eine zwischenmenschliche Sphäre. Der Band beschäftigt sich in 13 Kapiteln mit verschiedenen Dimensionen des Zusammenlebens.
Abstract
The contemporary grounds for the critique of modern politics have also populated debates on today’s questions of democracy, political participation, the public sphere, pluralism, gender, ecology and freedom, to name but a few. It should not be forgotten that the problems of living together necessitate overcoming the misperception of politics as only an act between individuals, nations, institutions and political ideologies. Indeed, the problem of living together is a matter of living with others, with the state and its institutions, animals and nature, art and cultures. This political dimension is also manifest in every element of practical life, thus making it necessary to take into consideration gender, disability rights, nature and ecology, animals, social media, and cultural, computational and artistic freedom issues in the practice and politics of living together. Therefore, living together does not signify merely the inter-human sphere. Therefore, this book contains 13 chapters focusing on various dimensions of living together.
