Lichter Agora: WELT/RAUM I
Gesprächsforum mit Marcus Jurk, Soziologe. Erforscht den Wandel von mittelalterlichen Mappae Mundi zu kybernetischen Weltkarten.
Grenzen des Wachstums, des Fortschritts und des Menschen: Welche Grenzen werden dem Menschen durch die Natur gesetzt? Wo stößt er an die Grenzen des Möglichen? Wie hängen Klimaentwicklung und Völkerwanderung zusammen? Welche Rolle spielen politische Grenzen für den ökologischen Schutz unseres Planeten?
Das Motto der LICHTER AGORA lautete 2016 „Grenzen Unlimited“. Auf dem Programm des offenen Gesprächsforums standen politische Konfliktlinien und ihre Herausforderungen, der grenzenlose Raum des Internets, Fragen des Cyberrechts oder die sich abzeichnenden Grenzen des Wachstums. In der AGORA sind dem interdisziplinären Dialog von Wissenschaftlern, Praktikern und Publikum keine Grenzen gesetzt.
Veranstalter:
Lichter Filmfest Frankfurt International in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Exzellenzcluster „Die Herausbildung normativer Ordnungen“
