disciplining in order to fight is "hot" - it mobilizes, transgresses and fuels the passions. Disciplining in order to effectively use force is "cold" - it controls, regularizes, and curbs the affects. The mix ratio is changing and the history of military disciplining can be described as a change between rather "hot" and rather "cold" epochs.

At 12 o'clock on April 8, 2005, in the Ostarrichi-Park in front of the Landesgericht (the regional court), a temporary monument to the defeat was unveiled that triggered a debate on the process of denazification and made an issue of the fact that this process was still unfinished today. The eight-sided object was conceived as a monumental plinth and it measured 2 meters in height and had a circumference of 11 meters.

Der traditionell militärische Begriff der "Camouflage" galt bisher immer als nationale Repräsentation. Zur Camouflage bringe ich einen anderen militärischen Begriff: das Flaggezeigen, das zur Fußball-WM 2006 andere Konnotationen in den neuerdings privatisierten und korporatisierten Öffentlichkeiten erhielt. So gegensätzlich die beiden Methoden in ihrer Intention sind, so scheinen sie als kulturelle Praktiken doch demselben Repräsentationssystem zu dienen. Beide erscheinen in einer einzigen Konstellation, wenn von Piraterie gesprochen wird.
