Un/Verfügbar

In the 21st century, the struggle to make the world, the self and the social available culminates in a steady increase of complex societal transformations. Developments in ecology, technology and politics give rise to experiences of the unavailable where previously the certainty of availability prevailed. The confrontation with ecological, socio-technical and political events is articulated primarily in experiences of uncertainty, unpredictability, disorientation and the uncontrollable, in short: in experiences of the un/available. This volume examines the late-modern tension of the un/available in paradigmatically diverse perspectives on the ecological, technical and political challenges of our time.
