Book synopsis

Becker, Ralf, Bermes, Christian, Westerkamp, Dirk: Editorial. Cioflec, Eveline, Weidtmann, Niels: Einleitung. Belonging - Zugehörigkeit Kimmich, Dorothee: Belonging - Zugehörigkeit und Eigentum. Eine prekäre Verbindung»Belonging« is usually discussed in the context of social participation. However, the English »belonging« also associates - similar to the German word 'zugehörig'- the aspect of possession and property: it is also about »belongings«. In the following, various examples from religion, politics, literature, and film will be used to discuss the narratives that intertwine social belonging and material possession and reveal as well as conceal their (neo)mythical connection.Gehrlach, Andreas: Die Zugehörigkeit der Dinge zu den Menschen.Western Culture knows only a single judicial concept of ownership: private property. Private property meaning, all things belong to people in the same normalized way. A closer look reveals that our relationship with things is more complex than that and confirms a gradual belonging of things to persons that stretches from an organic or intimate property to things being only vaguely attached to persons. This essay tries to outline this plural concept of ways of owning.Cioflec, Eveline: Vom zugehörigen Selbst. Narrative der GemeinschaftIn my paper I discuss belonging to a community as a lived experience aiming at interrogating with Hannah Arendt the dynamics of constituting or reshaping communities through action. The ungraspable »we« of communities allows for both constraining narratives and initiating new forms of belonging as a response to the need to belong. Acting together creates communities which can overturn the often painful experience of belonging to unbearable social units.Kanoor, Abbed: Gezähmte Schizophrenie. Eine philosophische Analyse von Zugehörigkeit und kultureller Ich-SpaltungOur time as the age of fragmented cultural ontologies, acceleration, and ongoing socio-cultural transformations is the age of the quest of belonging par excellence. My paper deals with this quest out of a singular culturally situated perspective - the work of the Indologist and comparative philosopher Daryush Shayegan (1935-2018) - which despite its singularity hints at a general hypothesis: the recognition of a tamed cultural schizophrenia can be an inspiring model of belonging for our time.Rieger-Ladich, Markus: Tertium non datur. Über Gewalt und ZugehörigkeitThe books by Annie Ernaux and Didier Eribon can be interpreted as testimonies of the struggle for belonging. With their rich descriptions of growing up in poverty, of shame and degradation, they make an important contribution to the analysis of orders of belonging. Educational institutions play a significant role in this. In this way, Ernaux and Eribon shed light on the mechanisms through which belonging is created or denied.Grabau, Christian: Umkämpfte Zugehörigkeit. Ralph Ellison und das Recht des Künstlers, seine Vorfahren zu wählen»[W]hile one can do nothing about choosing one's relatives, one can, as artist, choose one's 'ancestors'.« These words lead to the heart of a dispute between Ralph Ellison and the Dissent editor Irving Howe in the early sixties which had an impact far beyond literary criticism and scholarship. From this well documented controversy we can learn something about both the power of attributions of belonging and the art of evading them.Hilt, Annette: Ein Zuhause, das mehr als Heimat ist. Phänomenologische Überlegungen zur ZugehörigkeitMy contribution interrogates how to conceive belonging and how to clarify conceptual connotations of this and other concepts as 'home' or a 'dwelling in a place' according to their meaning for orienting our social life and identities. Methodically, I start with the phenomenological consideration of 'operative concepts' and how these might be reflexively brought into work with experiencing loss of belonging, negation of a home to stay in, and infraction of identity as they
