Postbürgerliche Parteiprogramme
Ethnic party programs in a post-bourgeois age

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses newer tendencies in the programs of ethnic minority parties, e.g. the Frisians, the Sorbs or the South Tyroleans, insofar, as those tendencies cannot – as a large part of the respective program texts - be explained as an expression of a defensive policy heading at group identity perservation. These unconventional parts of the program text can, on the other hand, be explained as a result of three shifts: a) from the collective to the individual, b) from the people to the region, and c) from time to space. These shifts are explained by refering to the epochal transition from a subject with an rounded, well developed identity to a flexible and multi-layered subject.
