Orientierung in der LiteraturDie Autor*innen Assaf Gavron, Jingfang Hao, Panashe Chigumadzi und Julia von Lucadou sprechen über neue Formen der Orientierung in der Literatur. Mehr Informationen, mehr Möglichkeiten, mehr Pflichten – wo verortet sich das eigene Selbst in Anbetracht wachsender Mobilität, Pluralität und Offenheit der Gesellschaften, wenn die Grenzen des Ichs scheinbar verschwimmen und gleichzeitig das Bedürfnis nach Selbstinszenierung und -vermarktung in sozialen Medien wächst?

The essay, published as "Modern China is So Crazy It Needs a New Literary Genre" on LitHub (https://lithub.com/modern-china-is-so-crazy-it-needs-a-new-literary-genre/), outlines a subgenre of SF that (supposedly) doesn't exist in English, and discusses why it's so important in China.

Efforts to build smart factories and government subsidies toward the initiative are growing across the country.
