Feel free to join us on the respective dates from 10-12 hrs / 14-16 hrs German time on campus or live on Zoom!This term’s guiding theme is: “Replacement”
Replacements are not mere substitutions. They remind us that data, knowledge, technologies, sites, objects, and people have lives and entanglements beyond their present conditions. Whichever places they arrive into, something else was there earlier, and something else will take the places where they once were. The theme of replacements extends beyond mere material substitutions or physical relocation but refers to the renegotiation of meaning, value and relation. Replacements include transformation and rearrangement, as well as regrowth and replenishment. Where something is gained, something may be lost.
This summer’s theme started with RUSTlab’s own journey of replacement. Relocated to the main RUB campus, we find ourselves in a state of flux in which we will have to re-place and re-situate ourselves among new colleagues and infrastructure, and re-grow in a new place.
