Between Exclusion, Integration, and Inclusion - On the Practical Limitations, Conditions, and Possibilities of Alterity-Politics in Chemnitz

随着2015年德国发生难民保护危机，如何实现难民和移民的融合和参与，或者这是否可取，这一问题备受争议。对多元化社会的抵制导致2018年开姆尼茨爆发暴力事件。然而，也有由民间社会行为者、政治家和地方行政当局组成的强大网络，他们努力促进包容性，从而促进参与性替代政治。这些演员在很大程度上被媒体和学术界忽视了。该项目着眼于当地的冲突动态，要求在开姆尼茨与各种形式的基于身份的政治发生冲突关系时，包容性交替政治的实践逻辑限制、条件和可能性。将应用一种创新的分析方法，在战斗、竞争和可相互响应的复数之间的冲突中应用实践逻辑。工作假说聚焦于另类政治与基于身份的政治在冲突关系中的实践逻辑弱点：侵略性身份政治、政府整合政治以及解放身份政治可以通过让他人参与(或参与)边界关系、战斗关系和竞争关系而片面地实施。相反，交替政治要求从一开始就自愿和相互质疑社会文化认同，打乱可相互回应的对话的做法。为了提供关于各种冲突动态的深入数据，将采用多地点人种学的多维方法。参与者观察将从各种私人、公共、政治和行政网络以及有组织的民间社会的日常活动开始，这些民间社会支持难民和移民并与他们合作。在这里，主要观察包容性替代政治的条件和可能性。我还将探讨政治接触区，在那里，一体化问题的支持者和反对者相互接触。在这里，主要观察包容性变通政治的局限性。

With the refugee-protection crisis of 2015 in Germany, the question of how the integration and participation of refugees and migrants can be achieved or if it is desirable at all, is highly contested. Resistance against a pluralizing society resulted in violent outbursts in Chemnitz in 2018. However, there are also strong networks of civil society actors, politicians, and the local administration to be observed who struggle to promote inclusive and thus participatory alterity-politics. These actors have been largely ignored by the media and academia. The project is focussing the local conflict-dynamics, asking for the practice-logical limitations, conditions, and possibilities of inclusive alterity politics in conflictual relation with various forms of identity-based politics in Chemnitz. An innovative analytical approach of logics of practice in conflict between combat, competition, and mutually response-able polylogue will be applied. The working-hypothesis focusses the practice-logical weakness of alterity-politics in conflictual relation with identity-based politics: Aggressive identitarian, governmental integration politics as well as emancipative identity-politics can be practiced one-sidedly by engaging others (or being engaged) into bordering, combatant, and competitional relations. Alterity-politics by contrast requires a voluntary and mutual questioning of socio-cultural identifications from the start, in debordering practices of mutually response-able dialogue. In order to provide in-depth data on the various conflict-dynamics, a multidimensional methodology of multi-sited-ethnography will be deployed. Participant observation will begin in the various private, public, political, and administrative networks and everyday activities of organized civil society, which supports and collaborates with refugees and migrants. Here, mainly conditions and possibilities of inclusive alterity-politics will be observed. I will also approach political contact zones, where proponents and opponents of integration-matters engage each other. Here, mainly limitations of inclusive alterity-politics will be observed.
