Abstract

Das 21. Jahrhundert beginnt mit zahlreichen Krisen: politische Unterdrückung, nationale Spaltungen, Klimakrise und Corona-Pandemie. Damit wächst auch das revolutionäre Potenzial, die Welt zu verändern. Frank Jacob diskutiert, welche Rolle Revolutionen in diesem Jahrhundert spielen können, wie sie ablaufen und was es zu beachten gilt, um eine moralische Korrumpierung revolutionärer Prozesse zu verhindern. Neben einem analytischen Zehn-Stufen-Modell stellt er grundlegende Aspekte vor, die über Erfolg und Misserfolg von Revolutionen entscheiden, und reflektiert diese mit besonderem Blick auf die Gegenwart.

Abstract

What is happening to perceptions of time, durability, and reality in the twenty-first century - and how do we deal with it? This anthology explores a diversity of uncommon insights about time, as seen from our historical and geographical standpoint. All contributions discuss how time can be seen, and how these views relate to changes in nature, technology, economy, working life, politics, religion, or philosophy specific to our own time. Findings are discussed within three themed sections; In Search of a Deeper Theory of Time, Time as Social Expectancy, and Time as Lived Experience. Contributions in this volume span from classical theory on branching time to personal experiences of drug-addicts' time. Together, these diverse contributions shed new light on how construction, perception and regulation of time influences a person's whole being in the world, collectively and individually, in the short and very long run, from the beginning of the Anthropocene to future cybertime.

Abstract

Immanuel Wallerstein's world-systems theory can help to better understand and describe developments of the 21st century. The contributors address the possibilities to reread Wallerstein's theoretical thoughts and ideas that are related to different disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. The presented interdisciplinary approach of this anthology thereby intends to highlight the broader value of Wallerstein's ideas, even almost five decades after the famous sociologist and economic historian first expressed them.
