Abstract

Abstract:Years after the reported New Year's Eve sexual attacks in Cologne in 2015, the Event Cologne remains widely interpreted as a tipping point in the country's migration discourse. This article deconstructs the prima facie logics of the Event Cologne's body politics through a feminist, ontological security lens. It sees the Event Cologne not as a causal occurrence. Rather, it needs to be more fully understood as an outcome, circulating through Germany's deeply racialized, white, and gendered ontological insecurities. This article offers a feminist, intersectional, and antiracist analysis that scrutinizes the ontologically insecure German state-self through what I call two modes of Western re-belonging: Germany's unique proximity to US hypermasculine, liberal militarism, and the country's enduring, racialized, white citizenship regimes.
科隆事件:白人、性别和德国的本体论不安全感
摘要:2015年科隆跨年夜性侵事件发生多年后,科隆事件仍被广泛解读为德国移民话语的一个转折点。本文通过女性主义、本体论安全的视角解构了科隆事件的身体政治的初步逻辑。它认为科隆事件不是一个偶然事件。相反,它需要被更充分地理解为一种结果,在德国根深蒂固的种族化、白人化和性别化的本体论不安全感中传播。这篇文章提供了一个女权主义的、交叉的、反种族主义的分析,通过我所谓的西方重新归属的两种模式,仔细审视了本体论上不安全的德国国家自我:德国独特的接近美国的超级男性化、自由军国主义,以及这个国家持久的、种族化的、白人公民制度。
