  6. Wie ein Freizeitprojekt in Barth zur Enttäuschung wurde

    Ein Park mit Kino, Schwimmbad und Ferienwohnungen: Das "Vinetarium" hätte dem mecklenburgischen Barth zu neuem Glanz verhelfen sollen. Doch acht Jahre nach dem Verkauf des Grundstücks gibt es dort nichts außer Stillstand und Wut. Von Leonie Hartge.

  8. Ich find den #Barth übrigens verdammt gut. Auch, wenn ich nicht jede Aussage 1:1 unterschreiben würde, lieferte er doch sehr wertvolle Denkansätze, die wirklich weiter bringen.

  9. Fighting back

    Finally, on April 14, something happened:
    Harvard decided to resist in far more public fashion.

    The Trump administration had demanded, as a condition of receiving $9 billion in grants over multiple years,
    that Harvard reduce the power of student and faculty leaders,
    vet every academic department for undefined "viewpoint diversity,"
    run plagiarism checks on all faculty,
    share hiring information with the administration,
    shut down any program related to diversity or inclusion,
    and audit particular departments for antisemitism,
    including the Divinity School.

    (Numerous Jewish groups want nothing to do with the campaign,
    writing in an open letter that
    "our safety as Jews has always been tied to the rule of law, to the safety of others, to the strength of civil society, and to the protection of rights and liberties for all.")

    If you think this sounds a lot like government control,
    giving the Trump administration the power to dictate hiring and teaching practices, you're not alone;

    Harvard president Alan Garber rejected the demands in a letter, saying,
    "The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.
    Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government."

    The Trump administration immediately responded by cutting billions in Harvard funding,
    threatening the university's tax-exempt status,
    and claiming it might block international students from attending Harvard.

    Perhaps Harvard's example will provide cover for other universities to make hard choices.

    And these are hard choices.

    But Columbia and Harvard have already shown that the only way you have a chance at getting the money back is to sell whatever soul your institution has left.

    Given that, why not fight?

    If you have to suffer, suffer for your deepest values.

    "Resistance" does not mean a refusal to change, a digging in, a doubling down.

    No matter what part of the political spectrum you inhabit, universities
    —like most human institutions
    —are "target-rich environments" for complaints.

    To see this, one has only to read about recent battles over affirmative action,
    the Western canon,
    "legacy" admissions,
    the rise and fall of "theory" in the humanities,
    Gaza/Palestine protests,
    the "Varsity Blues" scandal,
    critiques of "meritocracy,"
    mandatory faculty "diversity statements,"
    the staggering rise in tuition costs over the last few decades,
    student deplatforming of invited speakers,
    or the fact that so many students from elite institutions cannot imagine a higher calling than management consulting.

    Even top university officials acknowledge there are problems.

    Famed Swiss theologian Karl #Barth lost his professorship and was forced to leave Germany in 1935
    because he would not bend the knee to Adolf Hitler.

    He knew something about standing up for one's academic and spiritual values
    —and about the importance of not letting any approach to the world ossify into a reactionary, bureaucratic conservatism
    that punishes all attempts at change or dissent.

    The struggle for knowledge, truth, and justice requires forward movement even as the world changes,
    as ideas and policies are tested,
    and as cultures develop.

    Barth's phrase for this was
    "Ecclesia semper reformanda est"
    —the church must always be reformed
    —and it applies just as well to the universities where he spent much of his career.

    As universities today face their own watershed moment of resistance,
    they must still find ways to remain intellectually curious and open to the world.

    They must continue to change, always imperfectly but without fear.

    It is important that their resistance not be partisan.

    Universities can only benefit from broad-based social support,
    and the idea that they are fighting
    "against conservatives"
    or "for Democrats"
    will be deeply unhelpful.

    (Just as it would be if universities capitulated to government oversight of their faculty hires or gave in to "patriotic education.")

    This is difficult when one is under attack,
    as the natural reaction is to defend what currently exists.

    But the assault on the universities is about deeper issues than admissions policies
    or the role of elite institutions in American life.

    It is about the rule of law,
    freedom of speech,
    scientific research,
    and the very independence of the university
    —things that should be able to attract broad social and judicial support
    if schools do not retreat into ideology.

  22. “The world’s time is not an empty series of years, centuries, and millennia, but a time full of meaning because it is God’s time for the revelation of His will and work.” ~ Karth Barth via Church Dogmatics v4.3

  24. Reread John Barth’s ‘The Literature of Exhaustion’ today.

    It’s a shame The Something Else Press - publishers of Gertrude Stein, John Cage, Robert Filliou, William Burroughs, Merce Cunningham and others - isn’t still running.

    Or maybe it isn’t. Maybe a more interesting idea would be for, say, Open Humanities Press to publish the intermedia texts and artworks of The Something Else Press and to identify OHP as their original place of publication – just as Barth can ‘readily imagine Beckett’s next novel, for example, as Tom Jones,’ and he himself has ‘always aspired to write Burton’s version of The 1001 Nights’.

  25. End of the Road:

    John Barth
    American postmodernist novelist dies aged 93

    Along with William #Gass, Stanley #Elkins and other peers, #Barth was part of a wave of writers in the 1960s who challenged standards of language and plot.

    The author of 20 books including Giles Goat-Boy and The Sot-Weed Factor, Barth was a college writing instructor who advocated for #postmodernism to literature, saying old forms were used up and new approaches were needed.

    Barth’s passion for literary theory and his innovative but complicated novels made him a writer’s writer.

    Barth said he felt like Scheherazade in The Thousand and One Nights, desperately trying to survive by creating literature.

    He created a bestseller in 1966 with 🔹Giles Goat-Boy,🔹 which turned a college campus into a microcosm of a world threatened by the cold war, and made a hero of a character who is part goat.

    The following year, he wrote a postmodern manifesto, 🔸The Literature of Exhaustion, 🔸which argued that the traditional novel suffered from a “used-upness of certain forms.”

    The influential essay described the postmodern writer as one who “confronts an intellectual dead end and employs it against itself to accomplish new human work”.

  26. Herr #Barth, helfen sie mir mal, soll das ein Comedyprogramm sein, oder eine Bewerbung als Propagandaminister einer AfD-Regierung?

  27. Mmm that will preach! ”Jenson gives Barthians a way to be Sacrament!” ~ Will Willimon overcast.fm/+nUhLap99A

  28. Mascall produced lots of constructive work in theology and the philosophy of religion, but I'm fascinated by his continual return to the question of what theology is for, and how it should work. I have an article under review on his rejection of modernism and #Barth, and an embrace of #Aquinas, in the 30s/40s. And his opposition to Anglican-Methodist reunion in the 60s is fundamentally about epistemology/theological method.
