In the organizer's words:

Reading and discussion

Climate change, digitalization, social justice: everyone talks about transformation, but experiences stagnation and exhaustion. Partly because ever larger sections of society have no interest in change. While there used to be promises for the future and hope, today the fear of change prevails: Nothing should get worse. This applies to all areas of life, but especially to the unease about ecological modernization as a reaction to climate change.

In his book System Crisis, sociologist Philipp Staab describes why our society's great promises for the future are losing their power and what is catching on in our society instead: For example, living environments that are less open to modernization and emancipatory. This evening at GESELLSCHAFTSRAUM will focus on the question of how we can live in a time in which progress is no longer a self-evident goal - and what's happening as a result in terms of trust in politics and the state, but also in work and everyday life.

Philipp Staab is Professor of Sociology of Work, Economy and Technological Change at Humboldt University Berlin. According to WirtschaftsWoche, he is not only a "gifted seismographer of our economy and society", but also one of the minds that will shape Germany until 2030.
