Online panel series
"Dis:connectivity and Globalisation: Concepts, Terms, Practices"
& online pre book-launch, Tuesdays 4–6pm

Globalisation is one of the most contested concepts of our time. From its promise of borderless flows of people, goods and finance (also related to an expanding art market) in the 1990s, it embodies today almost the opposite: deglobalisation, as tariffs are erected, borders heavily policed, anti-migration regimes enforced and sanctions levied. This ‘disconnect’ between promise and realisation is the subject of the online panel series „Dis:connectivity and Globalisation: Concepts, Terms, Practices“. The multidisciplinary contributions from art history, theatre studies, history and literature explore key concepts that illuminate processes of globalisation from a dis:connective perspective, which highlights the role of delays and detours, interruptions, resistances and absences as constitutive of globalisation. The series proposes rethinking globalisation by redefining the terminology we use to describe and analyse it.
The panel series is at the same time a pre book-launch of the volume „Dis:connectivity and Globalisation“ which will be published in July 2025.
