When Infrastructures Become the Interpretation of the Climate Crisis
With Prof. Dr. Gabriele Schabacher, VOICES FOR CLIMATE focuses on a topic that not only explains the ecological crisis but also makes it culturally readable: infrastructures as causes, diagnostic tools, and levers of change. The lecture connects cultural studies analysis with current climate debate and invites a thoughtful, focused author encounter within the surroundings of JGU.
Between Climate Crisis and Cultural Studies
Schabacher questions the conditions under which roads, pipelines, transport routes, and technical systems shape our present. This is precisely where the literary and intellectual tension of the evening lies: infrastructures do not appear merely as backdrops but as powerful agents of a societal change that prompts new thinking about sustainability, adaptation, and responsibility.
An Evening for Thinking, Listening, and Contextualizing
The lecture series VOICES FOR CLIMATE is designed for clarity, discussion, and perspective shifts. Even without prior knowledge, the reading atmosphere of the evening provides a precise access to questions that shape the public discourse: How are solutions developed locally? What role does infrastructuring play in ecological transformation? And how can one speak about the future from a cultural studies perspective?
The Location: JGU as an Academic Resonance Room
The Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz provides the appropriate setting for this lecture: a university place for debate, open to an interested audience and embedded in an interdisciplinary program addressing the climate crisis. The evening combines scientific authority with a calm, reflective format that brings together information and intellectual presence.
Conclusion: Those attending this lecture will not experience a mere informational event but a precisely thought-out evening on climate, society, and cultural order. A date for everyone who wants to understand how deeply infrastructures intervene in our present – and why the future begins precisely there.
