In der Verknüpfung von Recht und Kulturtechnik verfolgt der vorliegende, interdisziplinäre Band eine doppelte Perspektive: Er fragt nach dem medialen und materiellen Umfeld, in dem Recht entsteht. Und er untersucht, wie ‚Recht als Kulturtechnik‘ seine soziokulturelle Umwelt gestaltet. Als ein besonderes Arrangement, das materielle, mediale und intellektuelle Kulturtechniken verschaltet, erzeugt das Recht nicht nur rechtliche Normativität, sondern auch Subjekte, es stiftet Beziehungen und reguliert Gesellschaften, es formt sogar Affekthaushalte nicht nur in Prozessen oder vor Gericht, sondern auch in Literatur, Kultur und Film. Die Beiträge aus Literatur-, Medien- und Rechtswissenschaft fragen nach dem Konnex von Rechtssubjektivität und Kulturtechnik, den rechtlichen Techniken des (Anti-)Kolonialismus und den juridischen Kulturtechniken der digitalen Gegenwart.

Abstract

The novel Coming through Slaughter (1976), a story of a talented musician’s pursuit of real art and the true self, is based on Buddy Bolden, a jazz cornet player from New Orleans, Louisiana, in early twentieth-century America. Author Michael Ondaatje shows his originality in creating a ‘jazz novel’ that transcends the boundary between music and literature, in which three jazz-like features – collage, improvisation, and intersubjectivity – are embodied in characterization, theme presentation, and narration. By virtue of the unique free elements of jazz, Ondaatje maximizes the postmodern features of the novel and vividly depicts the complex subjectivity of the characters.

The ubiquity of digital images is an effect of their distributive versatility. They can be stored almost indefinitely, transmitted instantaneously, reproduced without any effort, visualized in many ways, datafied and processed. Their mobilization does not take place randomly, but follows a complex media logistics of format standards, infrastructures and transport calculations. Digital images are distributed: not as sessile objects, fixed entities, but as stream-like modulated processes. The study conceptualizes actors and agendas of image data traffic, examines retro-digitized archive image corpora with regard to their distribution histories, and deals with ‹calmed› image sensor operations in intelligent environments.
