White masculinity in the death zone
The following article examines relations between masculinity and whiteness in the context of the Swiss Everest expeditions of 1952. It shows how in the mountaineering literature of the time, the so-called ‘death zone’ (beyond 8000 metres of altitude) turns into an arena for a hegemonic masculinity in crisis. This crisis encompasses ‘traditional’ elements of hegemonic Western masculinity, which is based on the abjection of the body, the emotional …
Racial Profiling
Rassistische Polizeikontrollen gehören zum Alltag in Europa. Sie machen auf drastische Weise sichtbar, wer nicht als Mit-Bürger*in gilt. Während ein Großteil der Dominanzgesellschaft diese rassistische Praxis als normal empfindet, sind immer mehr betroffene Menschen nicht mehr bereit, sie widerstandslos zu akzeptieren. Der Band versammelt wissenschaftliche, künstlerische und aktivistische Beiträge zu den gesellschaftlichen Hintergründen und Wirku…
Prolog
The text takes as its starting point a statement recently made by the philosopher Sushila Mesquita, who expressed her concerns that "decolonial" might become another buzzword, quickly losing its radical force. This raises the question of what makes decolonizing possible as a practice that cuts across academic, activist, political and cultural elds, and that aims at transforming rather than rearranging current regimes of power. The article takes t…
Switzerland and ‘Colonialism without Colonies’
In this essay the theoretical focus of postcolonial theory has been shifted from the cultures and societies of former formal colonies to those countries that have an explicit self-understanding as an outsider within the European colonial power constellation. Using the example of Switzerland, it analyses the presence and perseverance of colonial structures and power relations in a country that has never been regarded as or understood itself as an …
Colonial Switzerland
States without former colonies, it has been argued, were intensely involved in colonial practices. This anthology looks at Switzerland, which, by its very strong economic involvements with colonialism
From ‘Native’ Alpine Guides to Foreign ‘Sahibs’ in the Himalayas
When Albert Eggler, who led the 1956 Swiss expedition team — the first to climb Lhotse and the second to reach the peak of neighbouring Mount Everest — describes his arrival in Nepal, he does so by way of a historical comparison: ‘When we entered the mountain fastnesses of Thyangboche we were perhaps in a comparable position to that of a party of climbers who in 1856 left Zerrnatt behind them and took up temporary quarters in the hamlet of Zinutt…
The return of the native
This article takes Zurich’s Masoala Halle as an example to show how the spatial redistribution of whiteness, as Sara Ahmed calls it, is tied to a specific use of science and the scientific through two interconnected arguments. First, the difference between the scientific human and the ‘native informant’ is taken up. As Gayatri Spivak’s account of the native informant indicates, the displaying of whiteness relies on the racialised Other who stands…
Aviation skills, manly adventures and imperial tears
The article shows how powerful colonial discourses are in Switzerland, especially with regard to popular narratives on national identity. It starts with the Swiss Dhaulagiri expedition of 1960, which led to the first ascent of this Himalayan mountain, and how it is remembered 50 years later. The paper examines how in the discourse surrounding this expedition, the colonial trajectory of mountain climbing is linked to the use of technology (in this…
Colonialism without colonies
In 2007, Ann Laura Stoler, Carole McGranahan and Peter Perdue asked in the introduction to their volume on 'Imperial Formations' whether one could study European and non-European forms of empire in

On the limit of spirit
In his speech at the University of Dakar in July 2007, the French president Nicolas Sarkozy referred to Africa as the continent that has not yet fully entered history. This article takes this obvious reference to Hegel as its starting point and examines the current significance of ‘Hegel’s Africa’. Through a close reading of The Philosophy of History and The Phenomenology of Spirit, it shows that Hegel’s remarks on Africa are by no means incident…
Die Macht der Kategorien. Kritische Überlegungen zur Intersektionalität
Gouvernementalität und Sicherheit
Im Unterschied zu aktuellen Lektüren von Foucaults Gouvernementalität, die sich vor allem auf die Logik des Ökonomischen beziehen, werden in diesem Band die politischen Dimensionen seiner Theorie in den Vordergrund gerückt. Die Analyse der gegenwärtigen Sicherheitsgesellschaft dient als Ausgangspunkt für eine kritische Revision von Foucaults Machttypologie von Souveränität, Disziplin und Regierung. Die Beiträge konturieren gegenwärtige Aspekte de…
Des réactions troublantes
Ce n'est que dans les années récentes que le travail de Judith Butler a été largement connu en France. Dans le contexte germanophone par contre, elle a été considérée comme une théoricienne majeure depuis la publication de Trouble dans le genre au début des années 1990. Ses interventions ont remis en question et partiellement transformé certaines prémisses de la théorie féministe et des études de genre.L'article décrit les conflits et controverse…
Looking for traces of hybridity
This article undertakes the rereading of two texts that had been written at the very beginning of the twentieth century in the western part of the former Gold‐Coast colony, today's Ghana. Guided by the concept of “hybridity”, this reading tries to show that a close look at the construction of identity ‐ in this case the identity of a missionary and a native pastor ‐ can open up ways for new textual interpretations. Thus, the two authors who are l…
