War involves in its progress such a train of unforeseen and unsupposed circumstances that no human wisdom can calculate the end. It has but one thing certain, and that is to increase taxes.

— Thomas Paine

The well-known is such because it is well-known, not because it is known.

— G.W.F. Hegel

Ansichten der Gegend um Clausewitz 2002
http://www.galerieimtaxispalais.at/ausstellungen/gostner/gostner_raum4.htm

In "Ansichten der Gegend um Clausewitz" (exemplarischer Aufzug "Konflikt-strategien") wird die Bühne der Konflikte auf die abstrakte Ebene der strategischen Planung verschoben. Alle vier Wände des Raumes bedecken Wandzeichnungen, die Gostner mit Kohle aufgetragen hat. Es sind Planskizzen von historischen Schlachten von der Antike bis heute. Die formal bestechenden Schlachtenpläne fungieren für Gostner als ästhetische Manifestationen und zugleich als spezielle Modelle, die für den Krieg, eine spezifische Form der Organisation von politischen Interessens-gegensätzen und Gewalt, entwickelt wurden. Die Diagramme könnten jedoch ebenso auf andere, alltägliche Konfliktformen verweisen.

WAR AND THE SUBJECT OF THE HUMANITIES

by Jenny Horne & Jonathan Kahana

ABSTRACT

In Carl von Clausewitz's 1832 political treatise On War, the military general is given the form of the humanist scholar. But it isn't until the establishment in the United States of the discipline of the Humanities, between the world wars, that this traditional figure of knowledge is given official discursive status. Using Clausewitz and the rhetoric of the most recent "crisis in the Humanities", we pose the question, "where in fact are our military institutions located?".

In order to show the interdependence of these two apparently discrete histories, one would have to redefine modern warfare and humanist scholarship in terms of each other. To this end, we frame the humanist ideals of rational debate, erudition and cultural appreciation, and the production of truth and beauty, as historically linked to the epistemology of war. We address a recent tactical example of this perpetual war -- the closing of the humanities department at the University of Minnesota.
