APPROACHES TO THE WORLD - GESA LINDEMANN KARTON...

Responding to the critique of methodological ethnocentrism  Lindemann develops a new general
social theory that is also highly sensitive to socio-cultural differences. Drawing on Helmuth
Plessner's theory of excentric positionality  social order is understood as a symbolically and
technically mediated spatio-temporal order that is integrated by an order of violence.
Lindemann hereby brings together three significant aspects of recent debates: the debates on
the necessity of a theoretical turn (such as the linguistic turn  the material turn  the body
turn  the pictorial turn and the spatial turn)  second  the debates on the actor status of
non-humans and the borders of the social world  and third  the discussions about the role of
violence in structuring social processes.
