- Conference Abstract
- In times of experienced polycrisis, fundamental disruption, and far-reaching transformations, the number of profound challenges seems incalculable. At both the socio-political and academic levels, enormous complexity and multiple interdependencies pose the task of counteracting resignation, despair, and indifference, of developing suitable analytical and practical approaches, and of outlining new forms of agency. This intensifies entanglements among diverse constituencies (culturally, non/human, different interests and ontologies, etc.) and on and between various scales of crisis processes. How can one respond to these increasing relational intensities through conceptual and methodological means, given that they are often politically, socially and culturally met with denial and exclusion?
