Series Statement: Edition Weltordnung, Religion, Gewalt ; volume 5

Content: "The publications of the interdisciplinary and internationally networked Research Platform “World Order – Religion – Violence” seek to improve our understanding of the relationship between religion, politics and violence. It therefore deals especially with the return of religious themes and symbols into politics, with the analysis of the link between political theory and religion, and finally with the critical discussion of the secularization thesis. At the centre of the research are questions concerning the causes of violent conflict, the possibilities for a just world order and the conditions for peaceful coexistence on a local, regional, national and international/worldwide scale between communities in the face of divergent religious and ideological convictions. Its task is to initiate and coordinate thematically related research-efforts from various disciplinary backgrounds at the University of Innsbruck. It creates a network between departments, research-teams and single researchers working on topics of religion, politics and violence. The overall aim of the research platform World Order-Religion-Violence is to promote excellence in social and human science research on religion and politics at the University of Innsbruck and to guarantee the diffusion of this particular competence on a national and international level."

Content: "Band 5 der Edition Weltordnung – Religion – Gewalt widmet sich dem Thema Sklaverei, stellt es in Zusammenhang mit Macht, Gewalt und Widerstand. Die Aufsätze des Sammelbandes untersuchen bislang weitgehend unerforschte literarische, künstlerische, historische und pädagogische Ansätze und zeichnen ein erschütterndes Bild der Sklaverei in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart.

Content: Since the final demise of apartheid in 1994, South Africa has undergone dramatic changes in the political, social, and economic sphere. It is not surprising that these changes have also resulted in contentious reassessments of recent history. Many contemporary South African writers have taken up the challenge and created works offering new ways of critically re-imagining the country’s violent past. While André P. Brink’s Imaginings of Sand and Zakes Mda’s Ways of Dying constitute renegotiations of the past during the period of transition, J. M. Coetzee’s Disgrace and Phaswane Mpe’s Welcome to our Hillbrow represent deliberations of a past that has been hampered in its change by a flawed transition. Just as history can never be taken at face value and never constitutes a finite, all-inclusive narration of the past, the 'historical accounts' provided in these texts often present a one-sided picture of history when only considered on their representational level. On the metafictional level, however, these texts often put such 'misreadings' into perspective and, in doing so, open up an otherwise monochrome reflection of South Africa’s rainbow.
