Diversity, Power, and Justice: Transcultural Perspectives

建构主义正义理论越来越具有跨国焦点的特点，因此声称无论其社会文化和地缘政治背景如何，对人类都是有效的。然而，主导着关于正义的学术辩论的，主要是欧洲和英美学者。因此，这一讨论的解释学视野仍然有限，因为它主要借鉴了工业化、世俗的现代国家内的大都市空间所产生的经验。在此背景下，本研究项目旨在扩大规范正义的辩论。它着眼于替代的知识传统，以应对全球不公正经历的多样性。它特别关注全球南方后殖民背景下的正义理论，这些理论到目前为止几乎没有在德语学术文献中被提及：南非的乌班图正义语法，以及马格里布的阿拉伯-伊斯兰正义辩论。该研究项目将与南非、突尼斯和摩洛哥的合作机构的学者进行密切对话。在方法论层面上，这种跨文化研究方法旨在促进比较政治理论和后殖民政治理论等新兴研究领域的发展。

Constructivist theories of justice are increasingly characterized by a transnational focus, and hence claim validity for human beings irrespective of their sociocultural and geopolitical background. Nevertheless, it is predominantly European and Anglo-American scholarship that dominates the academic debate on justice. The hermeneutical horizon of this discussion therefore remains limited, as it primarily draws on experiences stemming from metropolitan spaces within industrialized, secular modern countries. Against this backdrop, this research project aims at broadening the normative justice debate. It looks at alternative intellectual traditions in order to respond to the global diversity of experiences of injustices. It particularly focuses on theories of justice from postcolonial contexts in the global South that have hardly been taken up in the German-language academic literature so far: the South African justice grammar of Ubuntu, and Arab-Islamic debates on justice in the Maghreb. The research project will operate in close dialogue with academics from collaborating institutions in South Africa, Tunisia, and Morocco. On a methodological level, this transcultural approach aims at contributing to the emerging research fields of Comparative Political Theory and Postcolonial Political Theory.
