Looking forward to reading this when it’s out:

Bourgeois coldness by Henrike Kohpeiß

'Bourgeois coldness refers to an affective strategy that offers an explanation for how self-preservation works. Bourgeois coldness is one of the most advanced affective and aesthetic forms of preserving the structure of the colonial status quo. It creates an affective shelter in the world, unencroached upon by the immediate consequences of its many catastrophes. It functions like air conditioning – a complex technology which reliably stabilises the climate until those inside consider it natural. Bourgeois spaces – institutional and affective – stay cool and pleasant. But outside it’s burning.'

We have moved to KIT's own new mastodon server: https://social.kit.edu/@DiTraRe

This is the DiTraRe Leibniz Science Campus on "Digital Transformation of Research" tooting.

This is the DiTraRe Leibniz Science Campus on "Digital Transformation of Research" tooting. Research results are increasingly being shaped by digitalization processes. At the Leibniz ScienceCampus "Digital Transformation of Research", we are investigating the effects and potential of the increasing digitalization of scientific work in four interdisciplinary research clusters. We are using an AI-generated background of interwoven networks forming a brain, using the colour purple as the key colour of the DiTraRe project.
