The Thread of Energy
Energy weaves the tapestry of our lives, and it does so in more ways than we usually recognize. While it is clear that it powers our homes, airplanes, and factories, its overwhelming influence often goes without notice in other areas, from the heartbreak of poverty to the motivation for war. While maintaining its availability has the potential to create jobs and contribute to competitive economies, nonrenewable energy sources are scarring our landscapes, polluting our air, and fouling our water.

Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes fragen: Unter welchen historischen und geopolitischen Bedingungen formt sich ein okzidentales Kultur- und Kunstbewusstsein aus? Welche Ab- und Ausgrenzungsmechanismen spielen dabei eine Rolle? Im Zentrum der Analyse steht eine kritische Okzidentalismusreflexion und deren Beeinflussung durch die geopolitische Deplatzierung und Zersplitterung des Westens.
