Positionalität. Nicht nur feministische Erwägungen zur Epistemologie der Rechtswissenschaft

In many areas of legal scholarship, the long cherished standard of objectivity, crudely juxtaposed to subjectivity, has become contested. The article advances positionality as a concept between objectivity and subjectivity. Positionality upholds the idea of intersubjective communication but also accepts the inevitable geographical and temporal situatedness of scholars. Positionality requests scholars to reflect their subjective situatedness and, thus, to deconstruct seemingly universal concepts and approaches by comparing them diachronically and synchronically.
