Insane rationalities: Media techniques and protest movements, 1967-1991

该项目侧重于德意志联邦共和国社会变革(1967/68年)和战后时期结束(1989/91年)之间的新的社会运动。我们将考察三个领域(精神病学批评、妇女运动、新时代)，治疗主张(在最广泛的意义上)是如何随着其他理性的出现而建立、发生和发展的。我们不仅认为这是社会和社会历史现象，而且认为这是新媒体技术的一种活的方式。对真正的自我赋权、自我决定的主体性和精神上的自我实现的要求既是一个建立身份的因素，也是一个指导原则。这些自我参照的技巧构成了20世纪70年代出现的“精神繁荣”的重要元素：反精神病学被理解为对当时精神病学的决定性转变，激进的女权主义被理解为放弃父权制约的结构，新时代运动的新精神作为冻结在传统仪式中的恢复性社会的替代概念。心理、自我和性别构成了我们研究项目的三个轴心。我们的目标是从转移的那一刻起揭示现实的倍增和碎片化。通过这样做，我们认为这一过程是当代理性的去中心化，同时也赋予了主观理性特权。我们将考察这一过程的实质，将其作为当代理性的去中心化，同时赋予主观理性特权。这些“自我”运动的物质基础将被调查：媒体技术和交流工具是如何使真实和想象的社区成为可能的？自我是通过什么方式(传单、地下杂志、海盗印刷品和新的反病毒媒体)获得的，这些媒体是如何获得、使用和分发的？该项目的目的是重建错位、疯狂理性的物质条件。因此，该分项目引入了两个论点：(1)反精神病学的物质历史、妇女运动和秘秘主义/新时代。(2)通过媒体技术再现技术实现真理与现实的多元化。

This project focuses on the new social movements in the years between social change (1967/68) and the end of the post-war period (1989/91) in the Federal Republic of Germany. We will examine three fields (psychiatry criticism, women's movement, New Age) how the (in the broadest sense) therapeutic claim was founded, occurred and developed with the emergence of other rationalities. We do not consider this only as social and socio-historical phenomena, but as a lived way of new media technologies. The demand for authentic self-empowerment, self-determined subjectivity and spiritual self-realization was as much a guiding principle as it was an identity-building factor. These self-referential techniques formed important elements of the "psychoboom" that emerged in the 1970s: Anti-psychiatry was understood as a decisive turn away from the psychiatry of the time, radical feminism as the renunciation of patriarchal-restrictive structures, and the new spirituality of the New Age movement as an alternative concept to a restorative society frozen in traditional rituals. Psyche, self and gender form the three axes of our research project. Our aim is to uncover the multiplication and fragmentation of reality from the moment of displacement. By doing so, we consider this process as a decentering of contemporary rationality while simultaneously privileging subjective reason. We will investigate the material this process as a decentering of contemporary rationality while simultaneously privileging subjective reason. The material foundations of these "self" movements will be investigated: How did media techniques and communication tools enable authenticity and imagined community? By what means (leaflets, underground magazines, pirate prints and new AV media) did the Self come to itself, and how were these media made available, used and distributed? The aim of the project is to reconstruct the material conditions of dis-placed, insane rationality. The subproject thus introduces two arguments into the FOR: (1) Material history of anti-psychiatry, women's movement & esotericism/New Age. (2) Pluralization of truth and reality through media-technical reproduction techniques.
