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.
Cultural Mobilities Between Africa and the Caribbean
This book investigates the cultural connections between Africa and the Caribbean, using the lens of Mobility Studies to tease out the shared experiences between these highly diverse parts of the world.

The authors in this book look to the past as well as to the present, focusing on the manifold mobile connections between the regions’ subjects, objects, ideas, texts, images, sounds, and beliefs. In doing so, the book demonstrates that mobility extends beyond just the...
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.
The Treblinka Death Camp

Webb and Chocolaty present the definitive account of one of history's most infamous factories of death where approximately 800,000 people lost their lives. The Nazis who ran it, the Ukrainian guards and maids, the Jewish survivors and the Poles living in the camp's shadow—every angle is covered in this astonishingly comprehensive work.
