Entangled Future Im/mobilities
How are im/mobilities articulated, imagined and practiced in relation to multiple futures? A critical examination of im/mobilities raises questions as to how power relations and crisis-driven futures enable, inhibit or prevent mobility, what meanings are culturally constructed around im/mobilities and how they are experienced. The contributors to this volume look at entangled future mobilities and immobilities using humanities and social science approaches in diverse examples: Afrofuturist poetry, de-extinction projects, dystopian novels, a Uruguayan planned relocation program, lives of rural Zambian women, climate adaptation in Morocco and Austrian financial literacy policy.
Zukunftsnarrative
Haben wir (noch) eine (offene) Zukunft? Diese Frage drängt sich angesichts komplexer Krisen wie Pandemien, Klimawandel und Kriegen wieder verstärkt auf. Die Beiträger*innen gehen von der These aus, dass Erzählmuster, die Zukünfte entwerfen, unsere Erwartungen zwischen Sorge und Zuversicht machtvoll prägen. Sie gehen verschiedenen Zukunftsnarrativen nach: in Gegenwartsliteratur(en), im Film, in Coronadebatten, in der Klimapolitik, im Kontext von KI, in Formen der Zukunftsprophetie, in Utopien und in eschatologischen Traditionen. Dabei wird das menschliche Potential, kreativ die Zukunft im Medium der Sprache zu konstruieren und damit Wirkmacht in der Gegenwart zu entfalten, eindrücklich sichtbar.
Transformationen und Transfers
Für die Analyse historischer Raumordnungen und ihrer Dynamisierung spielen die Künste und insbesondere die Literatur eine entscheidende Rolle. Der Band untersucht literarisch inszenierte Raumordnungen mit ihren konkreten und abstrakten, realen und imaginären Orten, Topoi und Mikrokosmen. Angesichts der geopolitischen Umwälzungen in Europa sowie der Globalisierung ist der Raum seit den 1980er Jahren – mit dem spatial turn in den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften – zu einer Hauptkategorie der Analyse avanciert: Raum ›entsteht‹ in einem vielschichtigen gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen Prozess, in dem die spezifische Verortung kultureller Praktiken und die Dynamik sozialer Beziehun...

The Futures of European Capitalism
Although national policies may now be more similar, especially where they follow from common European policies, they are not the same.
Culture^2
How to do cultural studies in the twenty-first century? This essay collection is not a handbook, encyclopedia, or a »state of the field« compendium. Instead, it is a reflexive exercise in cultural studies, featuring fifteen accessible essays on a selection of critical key works published since 2000. The contributors aim to provide readers with a fresh and engaging look at recent criticism, exploring the interdisciplinary traffic of theories, methods, and ideas within the field of cultural and literary studies. This book shows how the work of Lauren Berlant, Rita Felski, Fred Moten, Anna Tsing, and others can inspire new thinking and theorizing for the twenty-first century.

Mobile communication has an increasing impact on people's lives and society. Ubiquitous media influence the way users relate to their surroundings, and data services like text and pictures lead to a culture shaped by thumbs. Representing several years of research into the social and cultural effects of mobile phone use, this volume assembles fascinating approaches and new insights of leading scientists and practitioners. It contains the results of a first international survey on the social consequences of mobile phones and provides a comprehensive inventory of today's issues and an outlook in mobile media, society, and their future study.

Multiple Meanings of Gender Equality
This book aims to map the diversity of meanings of gender equality across Europe and reflects on the contested concept of gender equality. In its exploration of the diverse meanings of gender equality it not only takes into account the existence of different visions of gender equality, and the way in which different political and theoretical debates crosscut these visions, but also reflects upon the geographical contexts in which visions and debates over gender equality are located. The contextual locations where these visions and debates take place include the European Union and member states such as Austria, the Netherlands, Hungary, Slovenia, Greece, and Spain. In all of these settings, t...
