“…Claiming rights via the body multiple: where to go from here As these summaries show, the papers in this special issue examine ethnographically how categories of differencesuch as age, race or disabilitydo 'not materialize in the body, but rather in relations established between a variety of entities, including bodies' (M'charek 2013, 434). Thus, they point to the situationally bound character of truth, truth-making and truth-claiming (Kleeberg and Suter 2014).…”

What have affirmative action policies, categorization of care needs, plastic surgery, forensic identification of dead bodies and age assessments of refugees in common? They all determine recognition and access to resources and rights via the body. In the introduction to this special issue, the editors emphasize that the body only becomes distinct and significant when it is put in relation to historically and geographically differing norms and standards. This relational approach opens up the 'black boxes' of science, medicine, bureaucracy and eventually the body. Drawing on practice theory, critical citizenship studies and Science and Technology Studies, the authors discuss notions of social citizenship and the conceptualization of biological citizenship in medical anthropology. They think with the contributions of the special issue that analyse how medical practitioners, state and private institutions, as well as individuals enact certain bodies in specific material and discursive constellations. By taking neither citizenship nor the body for granted, the special issue shows how situationally-bound elements in relations, space and time, matter for a person's access to rights and resourcesand hence can draw attention to blind spots in particular categorization practices.

“…This epistemic constellation needs to be studied from a specific analytical perspective, which is developed in the current issue of Stan Rzeczy [State of Affairs]. Instead of re-echoing classic truth theories, we suggest a praxeology of truth, with its parameters of "truth scenes" and "truth figures" (Kleeberg & Suter 2014). With this praxeological approach to "doing truth" we intend to investigate the (situational) settings in which truth is claimed or denied, and to inquire into the subjective consequences of subscribing to or avowing a truth, as well as into the social and political consequences of adhering to "the truth."…”

The evaluation and transformation process of the GDR research system in the wake of German reunification 1989/90 was immediately accompanied not only by debates within the scientific community, but also by an extensive discussion about the value and future perspectives of East German scholarship and its protagonists in the nationally circulated press. In 1990, the focus turned temporarily to the prominent East German prehistorian Joachim Herrmann after his election to the board of an international historical association. The article uses the example of Herrmann and the public discussion about him as a case study to examine the status of, and changes in, the authority of scholarship and the scholar in the context of the evaluation and restructuring of the East German research landscape in the early 1990s. A selection of press articles from nationwide German newspapers and newsmagazines, as well as archival letters exchanged between different participants in the debate serve as prisms carving out the central arguments and subjacent structures of the discussion. Therefore, Herrmann's case exposes generic characteristics of (different concepts of) scientific authority and the close connection between its negotiation and the search for identity in the newly reunited German academic sphere.
