Subversion - eine kleine Diskursanalyse eines vielfältigen Begriffs

"The term subversion has multiple meanings and has shown its productivity for alternative political concepts during the last two decades, when the processes of globalization and the formation of a society of control made forms of critique necessary that had to be more flexible. By a minor diachronic discourse analysis it can be shown that four discourses of subversion have been established and still coexist: In the institutional discourse of politics subversion is understood as a revolutionary overthrow of the state; in the artistic discourse of the avant-garde subversion can be described as an artistic and procedural movement; in the subcultural discourse it appears as the distinction of a minority and in the poststructuralist discourse as deconstruction. These discourses of subversion form as a multitude (Negri/ Hardt) respectively rhizomatic movement (Deleuze/Guattari) - beyond all dictinctions in-between - a new movement of resistance, whose practices and strategies however get entangled in aporias and get absorbed."
