Goal setting

According to their own statements, sans phrase does not pursue any explicit or political program ; their only interest is criticism of ideology. In this way one promises to contradict the “ collectively effective delusion in the knowledge that it arises from the innermost core of society , where the subject“ overcomes ” the crisis that the capital relation is essentially.” Criticism of ideology is nothing “other than to develop the existential judgment, the abbreviation of which, according to Adorno, reads: 'The whole is the untrue'. "

For sans phrase, this demand leads to a general rejection of practice , more specifically of political engagement . On the other hand, one tries to preserve the essayistic form in the sense of Adorno , which “alone justifies founding a magazine”.

The journal sees itself in the tradition of critical theory , especially in the successor to Theodor W. Adorno and his negative dialectics , and tries to inherit the journal for social research founded by Max Horkheimer in its claim to interdisciplinarity .

In the yearbook Extremism & Democracy , sans phrase is ascribed "an avant-garde function for theoretical work within the anti-German spectrum".

subjects

The magazine is divided into two parts, an essay and a parataxis part, and has an average of around 270 pages. While essays are printed in the first part, discussions about current political world events and contemporary topics in the form of polemics , glosses , interviews and conversations also find space in the latter part .

It is noticeable that in all articles of the magazine the support for the State of Israel is represented and the plea for Zionism is articulated. With reference to Jean Améry , anti-Zionism is understood as a new variety of anti-Semitism . "This magazine knows sans phrase to recognize and denounce the most dangerous consequence of such madness today from the hatred that strikes Israel ."

In particular, problems and topics of psychoanalysis , literature, art, from various areas of philosophy (especially structuralism , poststructuralism , existentialism , universality , political philosophy ), foreign policy , criticism of political economy , criticism of Islam , feminism , Zionism, anti- Anti-Semitism touched and treated in an essayistic manner.
