Transcript Verlag Complicity: New Perspectives on Collectivity
Occupy, Commons and other social experiments show: New collectivities are invented and tested. Gesa Ziemer enriches this debate through the insight that in the process, the reinterpretation of old forms of joint action can play an essential role. By looking at complicities in art, science and economy, ongoing collectivization is exposed. Complicity means the committing of an act together, so the definition of criminal law. But for a long time now the concept has also been targeted at legal collective actions - mainly in innovative environments. Individuals act jointly in an intensely affective way - albeit only temporarily, bindingly in common - but still individually, inventively - and at the same time in a goal-oriented manner.

JOVIS Verlag Digital City Science. Researching New Technologies in Urban Environments
How will science and technology shape future cities—and how do cities shape science and technology in return? Who are the actors behind these processes? Driven by a transdisciplinary approach, Perspectives in Metropolitan Research 6 elaborates on the intertwinements of science, technology, and cities. The contributors discuss recent theoretical approaches at the interfaces between digitalization and cities and define their own role as a researcher. What are the assumptions that guide our view while researching? What does it mean to work in a transdisciplinary environment with a focus on the future of cities? In sum, this edition offers an overview of current perspectives on the Digital City. It is conceptualized as a forum for academic exchange on different methods, methodologies, measurements, and materials; on theories, treasures, toys, and tools; on power, prestige, problems, and perfection of/in Digital City Science.
