[Das] Ich darf alles! Anpassung – Anmaßung – Aneignung
([I Am] Allowed to Do Everything! Adaptation, Presumption, Appropriation)

Literary performance and workshop

Recently, the regulations for organizing social life have often been suspended. While there is a consensus about right and wrong regarding imperial power fantasies, there are areas in which, to date, only marginal groups discuss the limits of what is permissible. For example, although the question of what is permissible in art has been omnipresent for centuries, it was not until the wokeness movement that a broad discourse was initiated.

Since agreement on a common history and how to deal with it seems impossible, some fear for freedom, while others believe they are in possession of a higher consciousness. manuskripte, on the other hand, proclaims that I am allowed to do everything this autumn!—regulated and woke, of course.

Adaptation, presumption, and appropriation are elevated to the measure of all writing. After a manifesto proclamation and artistic realization, drawing on the (paper) history of the literary magazine, everyone can dare to engage in a literary self-experiment.
