Sarajevo Singular Plural
Sarajevo Singular Plural. Contributions in Honour of Zdravko Grebo offers a collection of contributions – essays as well as art and photography portfolios – focusing on Sarajevo as a “multiplex city”.
The book screens how “being with” – at one and the same time co-existence, exposure to each other and hybridisation – is translated into the permanent metamorphosis of a city bonding its past and its future. Sarajevo’s recent past contains tragedies, suffering and failures of humanity as well as much unrealised hope and potential. The art and photography portfolios attempt in particular to capture this in delicate and refined ways.
Sarajevo’s urban space is scrutinised from a diversity of standpoints combining approaches inspired by architecture, urbanism, literature, art, anthropology, history, philosophy, social sciences and politics. Sarajevo Singular Plural views the city as ceaselessly active and perpetually changing; it presupposes a multidimensional and collaborative system composed of highly reactive projects connecting a wide range of “drivers for change”.
Epochenwechsel
Unser Digital-Autoritäres Jahrhundert
Wie gelingt die Neuorientierung von Nationalstaaten in der Globalisierung?
Inhalt:
Die Grundpfeiler unserer bisherigen Weltordnung sind ins Wanken geraten: Wir erleben Postdemokratie, das Wiedererstarken autoritärer Kräfte, die Ablösung des Liberalismus als bestimmende Leitidee der westlichen Welt. Bürgerkrieg, Terror, Propaganda und Cyberangriffe ersetzen heute zwischenstaatliche Kriege. Der autoritären Versuchung erliegen weltweit immer mehr Länder, der Aufstieg Chinas zeigt überdeutlich, dass der Kapitalismus die Demokratie nicht zwingend braucht. Der erfahrene Diplomat und UN-Sonderbotschafter Wolfgang Petritsch gibt Einblick in weltpolitische Szenarien und skizziert das Bild unserer kommenden Weltordnung durchaus zuversichtlich. Die Zukunft ist gestaltbar, auch unsere Enkelkinder könnten in Frieden und Wohlstand leben – wenn wir rechtzeitig handeln.
