Absolutely. The two discourses interlink, but it only works if you're aware that there are two discourses. Actually I've been wanting to write a post about this, I've already written bits of it in my mind. Let's see if I ever get it done, or if someone else will.
Oh, and re: entering the discussion in German - I didn't want to, because I think I need to jump over that imaginary barrier in my mind, and because I think a discussion like this one shouldn't exclude people who don't speak German. But thanks anyway! :)
