Abstract

„German Theory“ is a theory that has not yet been written, but could have been. „Theory“ is here understood as a “territory of thought” that transcends the boundaries of its origins, and travels to other sites. „French Theory“, for example, is the label for the travel of French poststructuralism to Anglophone humanities. In this sense, „German Theory“ does not exist (yet), but as this paper will argue, it exists as a potentiality that has not (yet) actualized. To show this potential, this paper turns to the work of Friedrich A. Kittler. To illustrate why Kittler did not become a cornerstone of „German Theory“, and to discuss how it could have been, this paper proceeds in two steps: first, it traces the recent history of the reception of Foucault in German language geography and the humanities. This analysis shows that Kittler and German language geography morphed Foucault's discourse theory into two distinct thought styles – the „discourse school“ in German language geography into a „textual“ one; Kittler into a „materialist“ one. This incompatibility of thought styles, this paper asserts, obstructed the travel of Kittler to Anglophone geography, although Kittler's notion of „materiality of communication“ resonates with the „material turn“ in Anglophone geography. Nor did the Foucault of the „discourse school“ travel to Anglophone geography. Kittler's „German Foucault“ travelled to Anglophone media studies as „German School“, though. In the last part of the paper, I ask the question how Kittler's „German Foucault“ could have travelled to (anglophone) geography and what could have been gained theoretically through this travel.

7. Tauchgänge zur German Theory

Abstract

In this editorial, we sketch the intellectual agenda for a themed issue on German Theory. We understand German Theory as a creative and dialogical space to engage a multitude of thought styles, common in the Geisteswissenschaften and to bring them into conversations with anglophone, as much as francophone, lusophone, Italian, Spanish and other forms of Theory. This agenda promotes a ‚provincialization‘ of anglophone Geography that is connecting these thought styles rather than confining them to bounded provinces in debate. „German Theory“, thus understood, is ultimately an entangled theory.

8. Kiel 1969: Ein Erinnerungsort der Geographie

Abstract

In this editorial, we introduce the special section on the politics of memory of „Kiel 1969“, the famous German geographers' conference, during which, as the myth narrates, a revolution took place within the discipline of German-language geography. By introducing and contextualizing the three individual statements by Julia Verne, Ulf Strohmayer and Peter Weichhart, who all recount their entanglements with the myth of „Kiel 1969“, we invite the reader to reflect upon the dynamics through which „events“ turn into „myths“ that shape individual careers and strategic struggles within the discipline.

9. „Geografe, nüme schlafe!': Radikale Geographie in Zürich (1980–1990)

Abstract

In early summer 1980, radical geography students rallied around the slogan „Geografe nüme schlafe!“ („Geographers, stop sleeping!“) to take part in the radical youth movement that shook the city of Zurich at that time. In turn, these activist students brought these struggles back into the university and the geography department, where they confronted the professorate with their demands for a new curriculum. This paper argues that the antagonistic Stimmung, in which these struggles took place, produced a radical „thought style“ that flourished in a specific constellation of „thought events“: a prominent theory seminar in 1980, the AK WissKri, a network of radical geography students, the „Geoscope“ journal and, finally, a number of diploma theses on feminist, urban and historical geography. In these thought events, a radical geography materialized outside and beyond the mainstream of German language geography. Building on archival material and narrative interviews, this paper documents these student initiatives for a radical geography, and illustrates the precarious conditions of possibility of radical geography, in Zurich, and beyond.

10. Schwierigkeiten mit der kritischen Geographie

Abstract

This paper takes Foucault's and Sloterdijk's reception of the Greek cynics as an intellectual resource to critically examine critical geography's moralizing high ground. I analyse how, in 1983, Foucault and Sloterdijk paint the cynical impulse as a political practice of provocative truth-telling against the moral high-grounds of the dogmatic left of the 1970s: For Foucault and Sloterdijk, the cynics are anti-dogmatic, anti-theoretical and anti-scholastic. I will argue, however, that the cynical impulse is itself in danger of speaking from the moral high ground of anti-critique, a disposition that needs the anti-dote of skepticism.

11. „Wir sind nie säkular gewesen': Politische Theologie und die Geographien des Religiösen

Abstract

In these afterthoughts to a themed issue on the Geographies of Post-Secularity, I critically interrogate the analytical purchase of the terminology of post-secularism. I suggest that the concept of the post-secular is ill-suited to provide a vocabulary for multi-religious societies in the West as much as elsewhere. Instead, I suggest that the vocabulary of a descriptive political theology (Assmann) better helps us grasp the continuing negotiation of the dialectic relations between the secular and the religious. I illustrate this conceptual vocabulary for the study of religion and politics in the postcolonial world, first, in the political-normative debates on Indian secularism, and second, in the everyday struggles of religious actors in the violent politics of Sri Lanka's civil war, to then return to debates on (post-) secularity. I conclude that, indeed, we have never been secular – that the dialectic relations between the secular and the religious are bound to remain, and to become further complicated in increasingly multi-religious societies.

12. Editorial: Geographie als Geisteswissenschaft – Geographie in den Geisteswissenschaften

Abstract

This editorial provides the intellectual background for a themed issue that argues for a (re)consideration of human geography as a "Geisteswissenschaft". Engaging with the question of how a geography anchored in the arts and humantities might look like today, it tries to unsettle the kind of "theory-driven", post-structuralist research that has come to dominate human geography following the "cultural turn". In proposing a more thorough engagement with the potential of intrepretative, hermeneutic and phenomenological approaches, we conceptualise a "geisteswissenschaftliche" human geography as a much-needed irritation of the social scientific mainstream.

23. Wer hat Angst vorm Schurkenstaat? : Macht/Raum-Diskurse in Sri Lanka

Abstract

Dieser Artikel analysiert den Gebrauch geopolitischer Diskurse zur Legitimierung politischer Machtansprüche an Raum und Territorien, wie sie in Sri Lanka seit dem Ende des ethnischen Bürgerkrieges zum Tragen kommen. Die Analogie der «Schurken»-Metapher dient als analytischer Rahmen zur Untersuchung nationalistischer Diskurse innerhalb der drei ethnischen Gruppen in Sri Lanka, den Singhalesen.Tamilen und Muslimen. In diesen Diskursen geht es um konkurrierende Territorialansprüche zwischen den ethnischen Gruppen. Diese Diskurse versuchen,die eigenen Ansprüche argumentativ zu legitimieren und diejenigen des «ethnisch Anderen» zu unterminieren. Gelingt es, die andere Verhandlungspartei als «Schurken» darzustellen, lassen sich Strategien der Stärke und Gewalt besser rechtfertigen und Konfliktlösungen auf territoriale Argumente reduzieren. Diese «Schurken»-Logik konstruiert die Fiktion ethnisch homogener Räume und verdeckt dabei die Existenz von komplexen, multi-ethnischen Siedlungsstrukturen in den umstrittenen Gebieten im Nordosten einerseits und die relative Dynamik von Minderheits- und Mehrheitsstatus einer ethnischen Gruppe im jeweiligen lokalen Kontext andererseits.

24. Partizipation als Ausnahmezustand

Abstract

In «Die Erfindung des Politischen» (1993) beschreibt Ulrich Beck Subpolitik als den Ort, an dem die Grenze zwischen Politik und Nichtpolitik verschwindet. Aus der zunehmenden Wirkkraft von Subpolitik erwächst die grundlegende Frage, mit welcher Legitimation diese Art von Subpolitik in die Sphäre der institutionalisierten Politik eindringt. Beck’s Subpolitik soll im Anschluss an theoretische Arbeiten von Chantal Mouffe und Giorgio Agamben als post-politische Aspiration bezeichnet werden, die einen Ausnahmezustand herstellt, indem sie Räume für das Politische postuliert und diese Ausnahmeräume zur Regel erklärt. Dieses Argument wird anhand einer bürokratisierten Form von Subpolitik analysiert, die in der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit (EZA) Eingang gefunden hat: der partizipativen Planungsmethode PRA.

Abstract

Spondylothoracic dysplasia (STD, MIM#277300) is an autosomal recessive disorder with high prevalence in the Puerto Rican population. It is generally regarded as a lethal condition. Since Jarcho and Levin described it in 1938, it has been referred to as spondylocostal dysplasia, costovertebral dysplasia, Jarcho-Levin syndrome and STD. We have prospectively characterized 27 patients with STD by detailed physical examination, pedigree analysis, thoracic CT scans, and pulmonary function tests (PFTs). Diagnoses were established using spinal radiographs and 3-D reconstructive CT scans to demonstrate fusion of the ribs at the costo-vertebral junction with a fan-like (crab-like) configuration of the thorax. Vertebral segmentation and formation defects were seen throughout the spine with a decrease in the number of vertebral bodies. Characteristic vertebral shape consisted of a decrease in antero-posterior diameter and an increase in lateral length, giving the vertebra a sickle shape. Eight out of 18 prospectively follow patients died within the first 6 months of life, a 44% mortality rate. Cause of death was respiratory insufficiency secondary to pneumonia and pulmonary restriction. This is an important finding since the vast majority of STD syndrome patients cited in the medical literature have died in the newborn and early childhood periods. Age of the remaining patients ranged from 4 months to 47 years. This represents the largest collection of patients with STD reported and it has allowed us to determine a detailed phenotype. Given 56% survival at 6 months, we show that STD is not a lethal syndrome.

Abstract

This article describes some types of growth in plexiform neurofibroma (PNF) on magnetic resonance images (MRI). This tumor is almost exclusively associated with NF1. On MRI, the tumor is depicted as a hyperintensive area on T2-weighted images. We distinguished 3 patterns of tumor growth: first, the superficial and non-invasive tumors, that are restricted to the cutis and subcutis, only eventually having outgrowth to the muscles beneath and are slow growing. Second, the displacing PNF that develop in deeper layers of the skin or within the body. They can grow to a large extent but do not invade adjacent muscles or skin. Thirdly, the invasive type with no visible margins that cannot be resected without adjacent structures or organs. A combination of these tumors can sometimes be noted, e.g. a displacing tumorous nerve developing in a large lumpy, non-invasive PNF. These categories might be used as a current guideline for medical advice, surgical treatment planning and medication trials.

43. Muslim geographies and the politics of purification in Sri Lanka after the 2004 tsunami

Author

S. Hasbullah, B. Korf, S. Hasbullah, and B. Korf

Abstract

In this paper, we argue that the politics of aid in Sri Lanka ‘after’ the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami accentuated what we call the ‘politics of purification’– the fragmented ethnic politics of territoriality – in Sri Lanka's east. The politics of purification entail geographical imaginations of a nation as ‘the same people living in the same place’. We illustrate this with a case study on Muslim geographies in Kalmunai Divisional Secretariat division, on the coast of Ampara District, southeast Sri Lanka, where the politics of relocating Muslim families from the buffer zone created the conditions for the geographical imaginations of the politics of purification to play out. At the same time, our study indicates the antinomies of purification and the political fragmentation of Muslim geographies.

Abstract

Neurofibromatosis 1 and neurofibromatosis 2 are autosomal dominant genetic disorders in which affected individuals develop both benign and malignant tumors at an increased frequency. Since the original National Institutes of Health Consensus Development Conference in 1987, there has been significant progress toward a more complete understanding of the molecular bases for neurofibromatosis 1 and neurofibromatosis 2. Our objective was to determine the diagnostic criteria for neurofibromatosis 1 and neurofibromatosis 2, recommendations for the care of patients and their families at diagnosis and during routine follow-up, and the role of DNA diagnostic testing in the evaluation of these disorders.Published reports from 1966 through 1996 obtained by MEDLINE search and studies presented at national and international meetings.All studies were reviewed and analyzed by consensus from multiple authors.Peer-reviewed published data were critically evaluated by independent extraction by multiple authors.The main results of the review were qualitative and were reviewed by neurofibromatosis clinical directors worldwide through an Internet Web site.On the basis of the information presented in this review, we propose a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with neurofibromatosis 1 and neurofibromatosis 2.

Abstract

Limb anomalies are not common in the DiGeorge or CHARGE syndromes. We describe limb anomalies in two children, one with DiGeorge and the other with CHARGE syndrome. Our first patient had a bifid left thumb, Tetralogy of Fallot, absent thymus, right facial palsy, and a reduced number of T-cells. A deletion of 22q11 was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The second patient, with CHARGE syndrome, had asymmetric findings that included right fifth finger clinodactyly, camptodactyly, tibial hemimelia and dimpling, and severe club-foot. The expanded spectrum of the DiGeorge and CHARGE syndromes includes limb anomalies.

Abstract

The Human Genome Project is an international effort to discern the complete genetic makeup of human beings. The isolation and characterization of genes will offer tremendous opportunities for disease detection, diagnosis, screening, prevention, and counseling. Advances in genetic research are occurring simultaneously with the development of new techniques for prenatal genetic testing. Use of gene therapy in humans likely will lag behind our ability to detect genetic disorders. Consequently, obstetricians will be forced to face some difficult medical, ethical, and social challenges. The possibility of a national cystic fibrosis screening program is an example of the complex problems we will face as new genes are described. The obstetric community needs to participate actively in the debate surrounding the ethical and legal implications of the Human Genome Project. We need to establish clinical standards and use our professional organization to act as a resource for clinicians, the public, and legislatures. Because of the increased requirement for genetic counseling, we recommend an expansion of genetics training for residents and clinicians and the development of computer-based interactive video programs for genetic counseling.

Abstract

Before the advent of multiagent chemotherapy, the prognosis for patients with Stage IV neuroblastoma of all ages was dismal. More recently, marked improvement in infants with Stage IV neuroblastoma has been reported. Twenty-four infants with Stage IV neuroblastoma have been treated at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/The Children's Hospital, and the Joint Center For Radiation Therapy, Boston, Massachusetts, between 1970 and 1988. Twenty-three of these patients were treated with multiagent chemotherapy and one with a single drug. In the initial report, ten of 11 patients were alive without evidence of disease after intensive therapy. In this report the authors update their initial series of patients and include 13 additional patients who subsequently presented to our institutions with Stage IV neuroblastoma younger than 1 year of age. The 5-year actuarial event-free survival for the 24 patients is 75%. No patient without bone metastases died from neuroblastoma, and 12 of 16 patients with bone metastases remained disease free. These results confirm that infants with Stage IV neuroblastoma have a very good prognosis when treated with intensive multiagent chemotherapy.
