Where exactly is paradise? Where is home? Who are the explorers? Who gets discovered? In today’s world, there are no clear answers to these questions.
In modernity the world was defined by way of a geographical outside, paradisal lands located beyond the networks of European expansion. The outside functioned as a counterpart that gave structure to the inside and helped shape its boundaries. In the early 21st Century this classical outside is disappearing and the world, at least in its previous form, is imploding and reforming.
The journey has already begun.
Magdalena Taube (Berlin, literary scholar) and Krystian Woznicki (Berlin, cultural critic) have published the digital mini-feuilleton, berlinergazette.de, since 1999.
