Beyond Disaster Nationalism: Democratic Movements Must Rethink Territoriality · BG · berlinergazette.de · EN|DE

In 2026, we would like to organize the BG’s annual text series under the title “Deep Democracy,” building on our previous annual text series, such as “Pluriverse of Peace” (2025), “Kin City” (2024), “Allied Grounds” (2023), and “After Extractivism” (2022), which focused on critical inquiries of the planetary polycrisis. We outline the concept below. Information on how to submit contributions can be found at the bottom.
