Abstract In 2012, the regional court of the city of Cologne ruled that ritual male circumcision constituted unjustified bodily harm. This prompted a nationwide debate culminating in the enactment of legislation guaranteeing male circumcision without medical justification under certain preconditions. This article proposes to approach the 'circumcision debate' as a discursive strand of the systematic problematisation of Muslims as 'Muslims', which I analyse through the analytic of the 'Muslim Question'. In addition, I refer to the concepts of recursive history and of the interior frontier to contextualise the 2012 circumcision debate and the political purpose it has served, namely, to establish racial distinctions and interior frontiers between Germans, Jews and Muslims.

"The Politics of Replacement explores current demographic conspiracy theories and their entanglement with different forms of racism and exclusionary politics such as sexism. The book focuses on population replacement conspiracy theories, i.e. those imaginaries and discourses centered on the idea that the national population is under threat of being overtaken or even wiped out by those considered as "alien" to the nation, and that this is the result of concerted efforts by "elites". Replacement conspiracy theories are on the rise again: from Eurabia fantasies to Renaud Camus' The Great Replacement, white supremacist discourses are thriving and increasingly broadcasting in mainstream venues. To account for their rise and spread, this edited volume brings together research on various dimensions and case-studies of population replacement conspiracy theories: based on different theoretical and methodological approaches, from different social scientific and humanities (inter)disciplinary backgrounds, working with different geographical case-studies (across Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, and Oceania), focusing on different time-periods (medieval archives, colonial archives, Nazi archives, post-colonial migrations, post-9/11), engaging with different forms of racialization and racisms (Islamophobia, antisemitism, racism against migrants and refugees), as well as with the entanglement of population replacement discourse with gendered violence. The book is organized into four sections: Genealogies of Replacement which explores some of the archives and the historical background of the current rise of demographic conspiracy theories; Technologies of Replacement which traces the (neoliberal) governmentalities in and through which replacement discourse operates; Islamophobia and Replacement which is dedicated to the particularly intense focus on the threat of Muslims in contemporary replacement conspiracy theories, and the Gendered Violence of Replacement Violence which explores the connection between replacement conspiracies, gender, and violence. This title is essential reading for scholars, journalists, and activists interested in the contemporary far right, conspiracy theories, and racisms"--

Wissenschaft ist zwangsläufig Teil der bestehenden Ordnung. Dennoch bieten sich Räume des Widerstands. Aber wie ist die Beziehung zwischen Wissen, Normativität und Macht in der Wissenschaft ausgestaltet? Neben der kritischen Analyse der Machtbeziehungen im akademischen Alltag liegt ein weiterer Fokus des Bandes auf künstlerischen Formen der Wissensproduktion, die danach streben, mit den gängigen wissenschaftlichen Ausdrucksformen zu brechen.
