The cultural scientists Dr. Branka Schaller-Fornoff and PD Dr. Roger Fornoff (both Berlin) will present their book “Hedonistic Asceticism” from 2023 as a basis for discussion – renegotiating meaning and consumption in the 21st century.
This anthology is conceptually aimed at those interested in ecology and politics. It focuses on the question of whether or not a series of consumption-critical, nature-sensitive, individually pleasurable behaviors that have recently emerged are suitable for implementing a socio-ecological transformation for society as a whole.
The sense or nonsense of yoga, forest bathing, urban escape/retreat, etc. will be discussed – together with the audience, of course.
