Transitions and Dissolving Boundaries in the Fantastic
By creating hybrid zones of autonomy, the 'fantastic' - a subgenre of literary works - provides alternatives to conventional understandings of the world, knowledge, or identity. The fantastic raises a number of significant questions about cultural and social developments, and challenges existing boundaries. With regard to fantastic fiction in literature and different media representations, the articles in this volume explore: crossings into other worlds, time travel, metamorphoses, hybrid creatures, and a variety of other transitions and transgressions. The book analyzes hybrid genres, inter-media adaptations, transpositions into new media, as well as various forms of crossover as exemplified in the increasing trend of generation-spanning all-age literature.

Not at Your Service
Multiple answers to the question of what design can be and achieve today. Not at Your Service: Manifestos for Design brings together the broad spectrum of beliefs, subjects and practices of designers at Zurich University of the Arts. It offers different approaches and insights on the present-day role and impact of design. It is not conceived as a finished project, but as a fluid document of its time. Collaborative design, interaction within complex systems, attention economics, the ecological shift, visual literacy, gender-neutral design, "quick and dirty" design ethnography, social responsibility, the value of ugliness, death futures, immersive technologies, identity and crises, design as a transformative discipline – all of these topics are presented for debate with passion, conviction and professional expertise. A compact collection of discursive texts on the many roles and functions of design. Contributions to the current debate on the social role of design. Statements by experts from one of the leading universities of design. All texts are in German and English.
Raum, Zeit, Medienbildung
Transformationen und Dynamisierung von Raum und Zeit können als Signum von Modernisierungsprozessen gelten – als Motor, als Problemfeld und als Gegenstand der Reflexion. Medien haben in verschiedenen Ausprägungen daran erheblichen Anteil, indem sie mit Raum und Zeit arbeiten, kulturelle und soziale Raum- und Zeitverhältnisse verändern und diese Veränderungen auch immer wieder selbst reflexiv zugänglich machen. Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes fragen danach, was diese medialen Transformationen und Reflexionen für Bildung bedeuten, wie sie Subjektivierungs- oder Vergesellschaftungsweisen verändern und welche neuen Orientierungspotenziale und -anforderungen durch sie erzeugt werden.
