Theoretical contributions on anarchist theory, critical phenomenology, political theology and political economy

Duration: ongoing

Project Management:Jun.-Prof. Dr. Simon Runkel

Research focusGeographical imaginaries, Security and Freedom

Content

With recourse to the history of ideas in geography and with a proximity to hermeneutic and phenomenological approaches, a critical geography of the social is being conceptually developed further. Of particular interest are political philosophy and theology in order to explore the intersections between atmopolitics, biopolitics, geopolitics and pyropolitics in the Anthropocene/Capitalocene and to make it fruitful for progressive perspectives and critical geographies.
