Vorwort
Am Leitfaden des Leibes
Blumenberg’s preoccupation with Husserl aimed at the anthropological implications of the latter’s transcendental phenomenology. The paper addresses some connections in Blumenberg’s posthumous Beschreibung des Menschen (Description of Man), in particular the nexus between body/embodiment, lifeworld, and intersubjectivity, to critically assess a few of his claims. The paper concludes by turning to two key concepts for Blumenberg’s anthropological t…
The Vicissitudes of the Flesh and the Dreamwork of Modernism
The article explores a number of closely related concepts in Eric Santner's wide-ranging and yet concentrated oeuvre: the concept of the flesh, which is at the center of The Royal Remains, along with two more recent additions to Santner's lexicon, the "void of knowledge" and "surplus scarcity," both developed in Untying Things Together. Examining the logic and correlation of these concepts, the paper seeks to highlight certain tensions in Santner…
Where You Lead, I Will Follow
The leader–follower relationship plays an important role in preventing employees from engaging in counterproductive work behavior (CWB). We investigate the interplay among perceived leader–member exchange (LMX), leaders’ motivation to lead (MTL), and CWB, specifically examining the cross-level effect of leaders’ MTL in the relationship between individuals’ LMX and CWB. We tested our hypotheses in two studies: a two-source field study in three lar…
Social Appearances
The field of aesthetics has long left behind the boundaries that once delimited its territory. Its scope has widened, and its spectrum has become remarkably diverse, both in terms of theoretical approaches and subject areas. Work in aesthetics takes inspiration from different disciplines and sciences, from phenomenology to cognitive science to evolutionary biology, and engages with a vast array of phenomena: from various genres (and subgenres); d…
Der unendliche Umweg
The philosopher Hans Blumenberg whose hundredth anniversary was celebrated last year is known above all for wide-ranging historical studies: onmyth, on philosophical metaphors, on the idea of secularization and the genealogy of the modern age. He is less
The role of other orientation in reactions to social and economic leader–member exchange relationships
In this study, we investigate, through two study samples, whether relationships between social leader–member exchange (SLMX) and economic leader–member exchange (ELMX) relationships and outcomes differ depending on the followers' level of other orientation or the extent to which they are concerned for the welfare of others. We propose that followers with higher other orientation would respond less negatively to higher levels of ELMX and more posi…
Eagerness for Physical Activity Scale
The Eagerness for Physical Activity Scale (EPAS) validated in this study is based on the belief that eagerness for physical activity should be seen as a major outcome of interventions and physical activity contexts. The aim of the study was to introduce the concept of eagerness into physical activity research, to validate EPAS, and to explore its relationship with maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and motivation. A multi-study validation approach wa…
Do intrinsic and extrinsic motivation relate differently to employee outcomes
Transactional Leader–Member Exchange Relationships and Followers’ Work Performance
In this study, we test whether leader political skill moderates the relationship between more transactional leader–member exchange (LMX) relationships and follower work performance. A field study was conducted among 753 followers and 153 leaders from several Norwegian business organizations. The results showed that the negative relationship between more transactional LMX relationships and follower work performance was weaker for employees with a …
The Destructiveness of Laissez-Faire Leadership Behavior
This study examined the mediating role of economic leader–member exchange (ELMX) on the negative associations between laissez-faire leadership and affective commitment, self-reported work effort, and self-reported organizational citizenship behavior. Two samples were used. Study 1 consisted of 199 employees from an international high-technology manufacturing organization. Study 2 consisted of 197 employees from an international private security f…
Umbuchung
This essay revisits the controversial concept of secularization in the debate between Hans Blumenberg and Karl Lwith, situating their apparent disagreement against the foil of the former's largely implicit critique of Rudolf Bultmann and Friedrich Gogarten. Rather than conceiving the modern age as one indebted to and derived from its Christian legacy, Blumenberg inverts the logic of debt, inheritance, and origination at the core of contemporaneou…
The Resistance to Pathos and the Pathos of Resistance
In contemporary poetics, the term "pathos" does not seem to occupy much of a place and its former semantic range—external event and inner experience; spontaneous affect and reflective distance; passive and active—has become largely unavailable to us. The author enlists the concept "pathos" to reflect on the status of violence and pain in Peter Weiss. In keeping with the generation of authors writing and publishing in the aftermath of World War II…
Seeing the Impossibility of Seeing or the Visibility of the Undead
In his Remnants of Auschwitz, Giorgio Agamben situates the so-called Muselmann of the Nazi death camps in two iconographic traditions, that of the Medusa and that of the Christian vera icon. The Muselmann is blind to himself and invisible to others; yet, this figure of blindness and suffering undergoes a transfiguration. As the "true image" of man, he affords us insight into the violence at the hidden center of Western (bio)politics. A similar di…
