Summary: This article analyzes poetry and short prose from early 20th-century Berlin that depict U-Bahn journeys. While the cultural imagination of Berlin's emergence as a modern metropolis is closely associated with exterior spaces and the flaneur, the underground cityscape of the U-Bahn and its passengers have received less attention in studies of Berlin's modernity. The article examines the sensory experience of living underground and the impact of transitions between aboveground and belowground environments on passengers' perception of space. It argues that the U-Bahn reflects not only representations of modern urban space but also the significance of threshold experiences in modernity.

Reines Licht: Blindness, Religion, and Morality in Selected Early Grimms' Kinder- und Hausmarchen

Cameron M. Cross

Summary: This paper examines blindness in selected early Grimm's Fairy Tales from a disability studies perspective. It argues for the usage of the religious model of disability as a methodological approach and introduces a new model known as the moral model. The analysis reveals that blindness is associated with damnation in the tales, with evil characters being punished due to sin and lack of morality, while good characters are saved through miraculous healing.

Anthropology of the Future: Wild Epistemology in Hubert Fichte's New Science

Andre Fischer

Summary: For Kant, the existential concerns of what one can know, must do, and may hope for ultimately come down to understanding what it means to be human. Anthropology struggles to meaningfully respond to these questions. Hubert Fichte, a writer and ethnologist, saw this struggle as an opportunity to test the limits of ethnography and challenge the institutions of knowledge production.
