Stagings of Self-Marginalisation, Self-Stigmatisation and Self-Victimisation in Martin Heidegger’s Textual Communications

Constructions of marginalisation, peripherality and exclusion appear as increasingly important strategic moments of postmodern as well as post-factual identity discourses. The associated staging strategies, as elements of mimicry of marginality, will be opened up in this paper on the basis of Martin Heidegger’s text-communicative behaviour. Based on the strategies of self-referential marginalisation, stigmatisation and victimisation, found in his textual communications, we reflect on which discourse actors use, which strategies of the mimicry of marginality, for which goals, and under which conditions. Moreover, the necessity of a discourse-ethical re-reading of Martin Heidegger shall be made visible.
