Constructing facticity:How underdetermination drives communication for special purposes

该研究项目旨在研究从19世纪到20世纪精神和法律交流之间的动态交换和振荡过程，以掌握由此产生的真实性结构。在这样做的过程中，焦点将集中在精神病学诊断中被称为非社会性人格障碍的行为问题上，作为跨学科交流中谈判的对象。自18世纪末以来，这些人格障碍不仅是精神病理学的基本组成部分，而且还被作为与法医学相关的主题，并定期进入法理学。在那里，很长一段时间里，他们被称为精神异常。然而，今天，StGB第20节谈到了严重的其他精神障碍。尽管在对这些障碍的描述中存在历时性的差异和争议，但法律仍然诉诸于这些描述，并将其作为事实接受。这就提出了一个问题，即考虑到科学对象的有争议的地位和确定它的难度，它是如何构成的，与它相关的知识是如何在不同学科的相互作用中转化的。因此，本研究项目将探讨非正常的精神病学结构之间的相互作用及其在法律和法学上的意义。通过这种方式，技术语言研究到目前为止几乎没有概述的作为技术交流发动机的欠确定的方面将被捕捉和反思。通过这种方式，这种方法将示范地追溯技术语言通过精神病学技术交流作为一门独立的知识和科学学科的连续发展。此外，该方法将记录跨学科采用、进一步发展和影响过程--即在精神病学和法律专家沟通之间相互依存的交流关系的基础上。

The research project aims at investigating dynamic processes of exchange and oscillation between psychiatric and legal communication from the 19th to the 20th century in order to get a hold of the resulting constructions of factuality. In doing so, the focus will be on the behavioral problems referred to as dissocial personality disorders in psychiatric diagnosis as objects of negotiation in interdisciplinary communication. Since the end of the 18th century, these personality disorders have not only been part of the basic body of psychiatric pathologies, but are also taken up as a forensically relevant subject and regularly find their way into jurisprudence. There, for a long time, they were referred to as mental abnormality. Today, however, § 20 StGB speaks of severe other mental disorder. Despite diachronic variability and controversy in the descriptions of these disorders, the law nevertheless resorts to these descriptions and accepts them as fact. This raises the question of how a scientific object – considering its disputed status and the difficulty of its determination – is constituted, and how the knowledge associated with it is transformed in the interaction of the various disciplines. Thus, the research project will investigate the interactions between psychiatric constructions of the non-normal and their meanings for law and jurisprudence. In this way, the aspects of underdetermination as a motor of technical communication, which have hardly been outlined in technical language research so far, will be captured and reflected upon. In this way, this approach will thereby exemplarily retrace the successive development of a technical language as an independent discipline of knowledge and science by means of psychiatric technical communication. In addition, the approach will record interdisciplinary adoption, further development and influence processes - namely on the basis of the interdependent exchange as a communicative relationship between psychiatric and legal specialist communication.
