Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -How can political theory strengthen democracy and emancipatory social change while remaining critical of its own norms and foundations How can it confront populist movements that claim to defend democracy but in fact advance authoritarian agendas Oliver Flügel-Martinsen engages with key thinkers of the political - among them M. Foucault, J. Derrida, C. Lefort, C. Mouffe, I. M. Young, J. Rancière, W. Brown, R. Geuss, A. Mbembe, and J. Butler - to address these challenges. Revisiting truth-skeptical approaches, neoliberal hegemony, exclusions in the name of an essentialist understanding of the people, and global injustices, he explores how critical theory can help us escape the present in working toward a different future. 126 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Who, or what, is the contemporary climatic subject Addressing the climate crisis in thought, imagination, and in action requires a connection between scholars, artists, journalists, and activists. The contributors to this volume put such a cooperation into practice and present not only academic articles, but also interviews, short stories, poems, and political essays. Readers will encounter the 'climatic subject' as an entity and as a historical force. But they will also hear the 'climatic subject' posed as a question, a displacement of subjectivation under the condition of the climate crisis. Finally, they will find the 'climatic subject' as a connector for new subjectivities yet to be embodied in cultural practice. 270 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Present whenever people act together and yet never seen for what they do, spaces of appearance come in many guises: a car crash in Vienna, a discussion forum in Dresden, a baker's queue in Paris, an art festival in Shiraz, an unbuilt house in Istanbul, a law court in Berlin, a photograph from Arkansas. Taking their cue from Hannah Arendt's famous concept, the case studies in this volume, written in close collaboration, examine how the perceptive standards of a given political situation may subtly change or consolidate. Supported by a wealth of images, this volume demonstrates how the concept can be activated for innovative research - especially in cases where an understanding of aesthetics and politics needs to go beyond their analogization.Featuring an essay by Susan Buck-Morss. 282 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Digitalization is usually perceived as an invisible process and its cultural embeddedness as well as its material, spatial, and environmental grounding are often neglected. However, digital technologies and transformations are shaped not only by cultural values, practices, and imaginaries, but also by network infrastructures and spatial orders. They consume environmental resources and cause high carbon dioxide emissions and electronic waste. At the same time, these materialities intervene in spaces, thereby reconfiguring socio-spatial arrangements. The contributors to this volume analyze digitalization from a »grounding« perspective that explores involved cultural practices, technologies, materialities, and spaces. 278 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Can we move beyond the politics of community when it comes to understanding minoritized life in postmigrant, sexually diverse societies marked by racism In a set of interconnected essays, Kira Kosnick explores the conflicting dynamics of community and subcultural socialities in racialized and sexually dissident urban contexts in Germany. Drawing on many years of ethnographic fieldwork, she examines how dominant framings of community turn into a burden of representation for minoritized groups. Against such framings, urban nightlife and queer, postmigrant club scenes are shown to work as counterpublics that offer spaces for dissident articulations of sexuality and postmigrant identities. 246 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Global trends as well as translocal exchanges and the everyday realities of local communities shape urban transformation. Turning to the idea of 'contact zones', the contributors to this volume explore the spaces of encounters between agents of diverse perspectives and across different scales and boundaries. Through the lens of urban contact zones, they reflect on themes and projects of the Department of International Urbanism taking account of the past ten years and deliberating what is next in international urbanism. This volume offers a new perspective on diverse urban challenges to everyone engaged in urban research and design, policy discourse, and the development of transformative education. 210 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The question of how refugees are to be hosted and represented in Europe is not only an urgent one but a persistent one. Drawing on art history, migration studies and postmigration studies, Anne Ring Petersen examines contemporary artistic representations of forced displacement. She argues that artistic and curatorial practices can help foster cultural citizenship among refugees and asylum seekers as well as deepening the understanding of refugeedom in host countries through art's worldmaking and storytelling capacities. Focusing on Denmark, and including a chapter on Palestine, this study adds new perspectives to postmigration studies and a pioneering exploration of understudied material to art history. 300 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Numerous ethical guidelines and regulatory frameworks have been developed to assess and shape digital systems. However, these efforts often rest on the dubious assumption that individuals and organisations possess the necessary capacities to assess such systems in terms of justice, reliability, and other normative standards - especially given the growing complexity and corresponding opacity of many digital models. This issue is therefore of central importance to both legal and ethical debates surrounding AI and digital systems in general. The contributors to this volume propose a new approach to digital governance to enhance the capacity to evaluate and shape digital systems. 228 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Ndebele material culture in South Africa was appropriated and commodified during the apartheid era. Craniv Boyd traces Ndebele art back to its origins and examines its creation as enduring practices of identity construction and of cultural articulation, placing particular emphasis on mural painting and beadwork. He traces the historical trajectories of these art forms and considers their ongoing transformation in contemporary contexts. Focusing on the creative labor of Ndebele women, this study conceptualizes these practices as »assemblages of belonging« that mediate personal and collective identity, sustain cultural continuity, and navigate the shifting dynamics of heritage, modernity, and global circulation. 244 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -How do video games and mental health intersect from the perspectives of psychology and game design In recent years, the topic of mental health has gained tremendous importance for the games industry, affecting both the applied and entertainment games sectors. The former draws from established practices in diagnostics, digital medicine, therapy, and self-help to develop innovative and accessible tools; the latter follows in the tradition of games d'auteur, addressing the topic of mental health from a personal perspective. The contributors to this volume inspect current trends and future perspectives related to these phenomena to inform the work of psychologists and game designers. 228 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The worlds we inhabit are in profound crisis. What is at stake is not merely historical but deeply existential. The inherited frameworks of Western and postcolonial thought have said their final word. To make the Earth more habitable, we must think differently. Drawing on a bold reading of Achille Mbembe, Korassi Téwéché shows how this thought opens new pathways for both Western and postcolonial traditions - guiding them beyond their impasses. Beyond the Postcolony marks a decisive turn in Mbembe's journey: from a critique of the »African sign« to a reflection on planetary sustainability, resilience, and equitable life in the Anthropocene. 204 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -How has the world lost three quarters of its crop diversity in less than a century How does a collection of seeds frozen in the Arctic help face this loss and ensure future food security And how can Indigenous knowledges and artistic interventions inspire modes of dealing with agrobiodiversity loss that respond to contemporary socio-ecological transformations with care rather than techno-salvationism Franziska von Verschuer traces these questions from the world's stronghold against agrobiodiversity loss, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, to divergent worlds and modes of world-making it assembles along with seeds. This study shows that the future is more open than the popular story of the 'doomsday vault' suggests. 300 pp. Englisch.
