„wo zeit stehen bleibt. vom tourismus und seiner gewalt“
Sinthujan Varatharajah reads from the book wo zeit stehen bleibt. vom tourismus und seiner gewalt.
Host: Martin Jankowski.
People do not all move in the same way. Anyone who has ever stood at an airport security checkpoint or a national border knows this: what is a gateway for some is an insurmountable wall for others. Sinthujan Varatharajah writes about travel and modern tourism—this seemingly harmless Western cultural practice that, despite the destruction it has caused in many places, is still regarded in many quarters as a promise of a better life. varatharajah’s unique observations and analyses reveal, in a multifaceted way, what is tearing our present apart in every encounter and every touch. This book, which is as political as it is lyrical, cannot reverse this process. But it does show how new knowledge can change entire worldviews forever.
The event takes place in German!
