There is widespread consensus that we are living at the end—of democracy, of liberalism, of capitalism, of a healthy planet, of the Holocene, of civilization as we know it. In this book, drawing on radical futurisms and visions of justice-to-come emerging from the traditions of the oppressed—Indigenous, African-American, multispecies, anti-capitalist—as materialized in experimental visual cultural, new media, aesthetic practices, and social movements, T. J. Demos poses speculative questions about what comes after end-of-world narratives. He argues that it's as vital to defeat fatalistic nihilism as it is to defeat the false solutions of green capitalism and algorithmic governance. How might we decolonize the future, and cultivate an emancipated chronopolitics in relation to an undetermined not-yet? If we are to avoid climate emergency's cooptation by technofixes, and the defuturing of multitudes by xenophobic eco-fascism, Demos argues, we must cultivate visions of just futurity and multispecies flourishing.

Aktuelle Tendenzen der Hofforschung wie auch der Residenzstadtforschung präsentiert dieser Band mit einem Schwerpunkt auf den räumlichen Zusammenhängen. Das Fragenspektrum widmet sich sowohl räumlichen Aspekten sozialer Hierarchien in höfischen Gesellschaften als auch Kommunikations- und Interaktionsstrategien im Rahmen bestimmter Höfe, Residenzen und Residenzstädte oder Territorien. Dies spiegelt sich in den drei Sektionen: Residenzen als soziale Räume - Residenzen und Städte - Residenzen in der Landschaft. Die vorliegende Veröffentlichung bietet Ergebnisse einer internationalen Kooperation tschechischer und deutscher Forscherinnen und Forscher, die sich mit Fragen von Hof, Residenz und Residenzstadt im europäischen Kontext beschäftigen
