Overview

English summary: Knowledge in Law and Language - Multiple Voices, Vague Boundaries This volume is based on a discussion in the Heidelberg working group Law and Language in 2020, when far-reaching health policy measures were legitimised with the science. The opening contribution argues philosophically in favour of a practice-oriented and dynamic-processual, yet strict concept of knowledge: knowledge should be historically open to new insights but offer reliable orientation in theory and practice and not be watered down by other types of certainty. Studies from law, linguistics and the arts respond with claims to participation and epistemic justice. They investigate the diversity, performativity and corporeality of knowledge and stress the knowledge of underprivileged groups. Others show how the European enlightened concept of knowledge and science is currently being politically instrumentalised and dissolved. The role of knowledge in front of the court is thematised in the area of human rights and climate issues as well as the topics of AI, child protection, gender, asylum, corona and disaster policy. German description: Der Sammelband beruht auf einer Diskussion im Heidelberger Arbeitskreis Recht und Sprache im Jahr 2020, als einschneidende gesundheitspolitische Massnahmen mit der Wissenschaft legitimiert wurden. Der Eroffnungsbeitrag pladiert philosophisch fur einen praxisbezogenen und dynamisch-prozessualen, trotzdem strengen Wissensbegriff: Wissen soll historisch fur neue Erkenntnisse offen sein, aber zuverlassige Orientierung in Theorie und Praxis bieten und nicht durch andere Arten der Gewissheit verwassert werden. Untersuchungen aus Rechts-, Sprach- und Kunstwissenschaften erwidern: Einige reklamieren Partizipation und Wissensgerechtigkeit mit Untersuchungen zur Diversitat, Performativitat und Korperlichkeit des Wissens unterprivilegierter Gruppen. Andere zeigen, wie der europaisch aufgeklarte Wissensbegriff gegenwartig politisch instrumentalisiert und aufgelost wird. Anhand der Menschenrechts- und Klimathematik sowie der Themen von KI, Kinderschutz, Gender, Asyl-, Corona- und Katastrophenpolitik wird Wissen vor Gericht thematisiert.
