Geographien des Verlusts, Deutscher Kongress für Geographie, Frankfurt am Main, 19.09.2023 – 23.09.2023

21. Februar 2023

Geographien des Verlusts entstehen im Zusammenspiel von historischen, gesellschaftspolitischen, kulturellen, räumlichen und planetarischen Transformationen. In Geographie und Geschichtswissenschaft erscheint die systematische und konzeptionelle Erschließung von Verlust als Desiderat, was angesichts der Ubiquität von Krisendiagnosen im Anthropozän überrascht. Der Call for Papers lädt ein, die Geographien des Verlusts in konzeptionellen und empirischen Beiträgen zu erkunden. Geographien… Read More Geographien des Verlusts, Deutscher Kongress für Geographie, Frankfurt am Main, 19.09.2023 – 23.09.2023

Dabei werden die Territorien einzelner Gebiete im Kontext von Wirtschafts- und Kommunalkooperationen zumeist überschritten, wobei es hier durchaus passieren kann, dass Kooperationen wiederholend nicht zu Stande kommen. Solche Entwicklungen führen manche Akteure in… Read More CfP.
