| Summary: | Epistemic violence, an experience of oppression felt from the inside, is ever-present and thus present throughout the academy. This paper explores the experience of epistemic violence in practical theology, where we are given institutional authority to interpret and represent the lived experiences of others. I use the metaphor of ventriloquism to explore practical theologians as performers who, by virtue of our position, make dummies of those we are attempting to serve, including subjects of research, faith communities, and students. Epistemische Gewalt, erfahrbar als interne Unterdrückung, ist allgegenwärtig, auch innerhalb der Hochschule. Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Erfahrung von epistemischer Gewalt in Praktischer Theologie, in der wir mit institutioneller Legitimation die gelebte Erfahrung anderer interpretieren und repräsentieren. Unter Verwendung der Metapher des Bauchredens untersucht der Aufsatz Praktische Theologen als Darsteller, die aufgrund unserer Stellung diejenigen zu Puppen machen, denen wir dienen wollen, einschließlich der Forschungsgegenstände, der Glaubensgemeinschaften und der Studierenden. |
