Prof. Dr. Silja Graupe: Imagined Futures. The Role of Imagination and Narratives in Creating a Post-Corona-Economy

The Cusanus Hochschule für Gesellschaftsgestaltung is exploring "Global Perspectives of a Post-Corona Economy" in a digital lecture series in the winter semester 2020/21 under the motto "Fight Every Crisis". Program and registration: https://www.cusanus-hochschule.de/?p=13824

In her lecture Prof. Dr. Silja Graupe talks about the concept of "imagination" and its role in our today’s societies, and how we can imagine imagination itself. She then outlines how neoliberalism is pushing us to imagine our interconnectedness in a highly manipulated and detrimental way. Prof. Graupe shows how we can become creative in order to alter our imagination of interconnectedness and how this can have an effect on how we act in the world. She then links her arguments and thoughts to the current Covid-19 pandemic. 

Prof. Dr. Silja Graupe is Professor of Economics and Philosophy, Head of the Institute of Economics as well as co-founder and Vice President of the Cusanus Hochschule für Gesellschaftsgestaltung.
