„Über die Schwierigkeit das ‚Gemeinsame’ zu definieren...“

Wir haben verschiedene Korrekturvorschläge für den ersten Satz der deutschen Version des Aufrufes erhalten. Wir freuen und bedanken uns für das Interesse und die Kooperationsimpulse, die diese Konferenz erweckt hat. „Angesichts der Schwierigkeit eine Definition des Gemeinsam", des ,Gemeinsamen’ zu finden” und „der Schwierigkeiten sich auf eine Definition über das  ,Gemeinsame’ zu einigen“, haben wir uns entschieden, die grammatikalischen Unreinheiten stehen zu lassen.   

Die Schwierigkeiten das Gemeinsame zu definieren, hängen nicht selten von Sprachbarrieren ab. Damit hängt diese Erfahrung des Schreibens, der Übersetzung und der Korrekturen nicht nur symbolisch, sondern auch analytisch, mit dem Vorhaben der Konferenz zusammen: über die Schwierigkeiten, das Gemeinsame zu definieren, gemeinsam zu diskutieren. Wir freuen uns auf Eure Teilnahme. 

Die Teilnahme an der Konferenz ist kostenlos. Aufgrund der beschränkten Räumlichkeiten ist eine Anmeldung bis zum 18. November, 2012 per Mail an Tania.Mancheno@gmail.com erforderlich.
