In a total of seven sub-projects, closely linked research teams are investigating a variety of highly diverse collaborations: ranging from the ‘Black Coalition for Rights’, which formed in Brazil during Bolsonaro’s presidency as a broad oppositional alliance outside traditional party structures, to collaborative publication formats in contemporary poetry in the South Pacific, or to post-colonial neighborhood structures in Berlin. The network aims to overcome the dominance of Eurocentric knowledge formation and its practices.  “The most urgent challenges and problems of our time have planetary dimension and therefore require global solutions,” Dirk Wiemann explains. “To find these solutions, we need new practices and theoretical approaches that transcend the worldviews constructed in Western epistemologies and enable a pluralization and transformation of our own forms of knowledge.”

Researchers from the fields of literature and cultural studies, social and cultural anthropology, and sociology work together in the research group. They are concerned with the epistemological challenges arising from social and political inequalities across the world and global problems such as the climate crisis. Their work is based on the assumption that new alternative social, political, and academic practices are needed to meet these complex challenges. The researchers seek to reinterpret historical alliances and temporary collective associations between various social and political players so as to better understand these new collaborations.
