Politikwissenschaft einmal anders
Zugegeben nicht ganz taufrisch, was ich dieser Tage bei der Vorlesungsvorbereitung entdeckt habe: Frederick S. Tipsons Kritik von Samuel Huntingtons “Clash of Civilisations” in Gedichtform. Hier die ersten Verse:
We owe to Samuel Huntington a potent provocation,
A trenchant tract to counteract a clear exaggeration:
The notion that the West has won, its culture now supreme,
His book rejects–and then corrects–as wishful in extreme.
For, he insists, our world consists of cultural formations
Arising (and revising) out of eight great civilizations.
