The working group investigates what effects logics of disruption have on modes of regulating and organising social structures, processes and actors. How can the disruptive condition be traced in changes in political, economic, cultural and legal modes of action, and what forms of producing, acting on and reacting to disruption characterise them? Research in the working group focuses on continuities and ruptures in organisational and regulatory models and on how disruptiveness becomes an essential moment of social integration.

The working group investigates central dimensions of perceiving and addressing the logics of rupture that are specific to the disruptive condition. It asks how disruptive worlds are culturally produced, perceived and experienced, and explores the possibilities at the intersection of the arts, sciences and activism to critically engage with a global agenda of radical change.

The working group examines the extent to which scientific as well as non-scientific knowledge is affected by various logics of rupture. The working group aims to historicise and analyse the conditions of knowledge production, techniques, transmission, appropriation and questioning, and at the same time to examine their potentials and possible future prospects. Thus, crises and ruptures have increasingly become the object and challenge of knowledge production and, at the same time, scientific knowledge is itself increasingly understood as and expected to be disruptive.

The research group explores practices of inhabiting in (life)worlds that have become precarious and volatile. We examine the changes that our relationships to these worlds and their human and non-human inhabitants are subject to in the disruptive condition. The focus is also on future-oriented strategies aimed at making disrupted socio-ecological, socio-technical and socio-economic worlds habitable again.
