Descriptio

"The Disruptive Condition

"The interdisciplinary research initiative explores a specific socio-historical experience characteristic of today’s globalised societies: the appearance of disruptiveness as a central feature of social being. This experience, which has recently been described in terms of ‘permacrisis’, ‘polycrisis’ or ‘Zeitenwende’, did not emerge with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine or even the multiplying anthropocenic destructions, resource shortages, supply chain disruptions and market collapses.

Rather, contemporary forms of experiencing and acting in what seems to be a permanent mode of crisis express a momentous intensification of the experience of rupture already constitutive of modern societies, yet now divested of the containing and sublating representations typical for modernity, such as progress and emancipation, and without the horizon of an open future."
