Beyond the Family. Spatiality, Modes of (Re)Production and Forms of Life

The workshop Beyond the Family. Spatiality, Modes of (Re)Production and Forms of Life invites scholars from the fields of philosophy and sociology, art and cultural studies, architecture and architectural history as well as economics to contribute to the twofold question outlined in the Call for Papers: What are the contemporary developments in the regime of social reproduction that can be diagnosed using materialist concepts of space and what inspiration do historical experiments in collective living, working and economic organization offer us today?

The workshop will be held from April 10 (from 2 pm) to April 11, 2025 at Leuphana University Lüneburg. The presentations (max. 20 minutes) should be shared with the other participants as draft papers by mid-March. A publication is planned; for this we request the manuscripts (25,000 characters and max. 8 images) by June 30, 2025 (this short timeline is dictated by a funding deadline). We ask prospective contributors to send an abstract (max. 300 words) by November 28, 2024 to kdk@leuphana.de.
