This article introduces the conceptual couple first theology and second theology as an answer to J. Kameron Carter’s call for a theopolitical approach beyond the proper practice versus malpractice dualism in Western political theology. In order to find sources to further renegotiate the relationship between the material, the spiritual and the political, the article turns East to Russian avant-garde artists and thinkers Liubov Popova (1889–1924) and Vladimir Tatlin (1885–1953), discussed in relation to Walter Benjamin (1892–1940). The conceptual couple according to which first theology is understood as theology is stuck in a representational logic where proper practice can be easily distinguished from malpractice. Second theology, on the other hand, is a performative approach to theology beyond the representational logic: theology that does and constructs rather than is and represents. Thus, second theology is theology that is political, even activist, without pertaining to truth claims or ideals regarding proper or improper theological practice.

迈向第二神学：前卫艺术与神政治学

本文介绍概念上的一对第一神学和第二神学，作为对J. Kameron Carter的呼吁的回应，超越了西方政治神学中的正当实践与弊端二元论。为了找到进一步协商材料，精神和政治之间关系的资源，本文将东方转向俄罗斯前卫艺术家和思想家刘博夫·波波瓦（Liubov Popova，1889–1924年）和弗拉基米尔·塔特林（Vladimir Tatlin，1885–1953年），在本文中进行了讨论。与沃尔特·本杰明（Walter Benjamin，1892-1940年）的关系。首先将神学理解为神学的概念夫妇就陷入了代表逻辑中，在此逻辑中可以很容易地将适当的实践与渎职区别开来。第二神学另一方面，它是一种超越表示逻辑的神学的执行方法：做和构造而不是是和表示的神学。因此，第二个神学是政治学，甚至是激进主义者，不涉及关于正确或不正确的神学实践的真理主张或理想。
