Occupying a space in-between conventional scholarship and imaginative storytelling, The University in Crumbs: A Register of Things Seen and Heard is an experimental work that dramatizes the everyday life of the academy. Consisting primarily of a series of five first-person reports, Robert Porter, Kerry-Ann Porter and Iain Mackenzie provide the reader with a number of stories that attempt to capture some of their everyday experiences of academic life in the UK, roughly between 2017 and 2022. Self-consciously written in a subjective and conversational register, and often in dialogical form, The University in Crumbs is an accessible series of interrelated narratives that allow us to develop a c...
Post-digital art suggests a form of embodiment of digital technologies that unfolds in physical space through hands-on material approaches, and even the repurposing of older analogue media. Pedro Ferreira examines these aesthetics in contemporary audiovisual arts as reactions to our post-digital condition. He traces four post-digital territories by looking on the digital infrastructure, within the effects of the post-digital condition, in-between digital and non-digital media as media hybrids, and off digital media in a turn to analogue media. Concluding with a series of artworks, this study exposes the material, sociocultural and environmental consequences of digital technologies in our post-digital age.

As our everyday lives become increasingly entangled with data technologies, the book addresses the utopian fantasy that surrounds the Cloud, as transcending physical presence or resourcing. By bringing the physical infrastructure around data, and its impact on the environment under the spotlight, it hopes to reframe how we understand data production and highlight the myth that informa...
Theological thought has long been focused on the meaning to be found in our existence, but it has tended to neglect what it might offer to those seeking how to prolong and improve our physical existence in this world. In conversation with twentieth-century materialist art and thought, this book presents a radical theology that engages directly with the political and ecological issues of our time. The book introduces a new thinker to the theological sphere, Russian avantgarde artist Liubov Popova (1889–1924). She was a woman acknowledged for her artistic and intellectual talent and yet is never discussed in relation to the twentieth-century thinkers with whom her ideas have obvious connecti...

Education for Sustainable Development Frieden, Sicherheit, Gerechtigkeit, ein wirtschaftlich abgesichertes, aber ökologisch verträgliches Leben: Das sind Wünsche, die für heutige wie zukünftige Generationen existenziell sind. Junge Menschen zu befähigen, die Zukunft in diesem Sinne mitzugestalten, ist Aufgabe der Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE). Inwiefern kann neben Biologie, Geografie, Politik oder Wirtschaft auch der Fremdsprachenunterricht dazu beitragen? Lernende auf die Bewältigung ökologischer, ökonomischer, politischer und sozialer Herausforderungen vorzubereiten, ist in sprachlich orientierten Fächern ein neues Bildungsziel. Diesem bisher weitgehend unerforschten...
