EXC 243: Formation of Normative Orders

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The cluster of excellence examines current conflicts over a just world order from the perspective of a range of disciplines with a thematic focus on the formation of normative orders. In contrast to functionalist approaches, which refer to factors external to norms, the cluster of excellence will deal with internal perspectives, processes and conflicts. Normative orders are defined as "orders of justification", which serve to justify claims to validity, authority and specific distributions of goods. Such orders are embedded in justification models and narratives that arise in historical constellations and are generally handed down, modified and institutionalised over long periods of time. However, every traditional justification narrative overshoots extant orders and thereby offers opportunities for criticism, rejection or resistance.
