- Biography/History:
- Anita Jóri (Dr.) is a postdoctoral research associate at the Vilém Flusser Archive, Berlin University of the Arts (Universität der Künste Berlin, UdK). Jóri's research and publications focus on the discursive and terminological aspects of electronic (dance) music culture. She is one of the curators of CTM Festival's Discourse programme.
- Guillaume Robin has a PhD in German Studies. He works as a lecturer at Université Paris-Cité / Laboratoire Identités Cultures Territoires. His research focuses on body history and anthropology in 20th-century Germany, and more specifically on the ethnography of Berlin's electronic music scene. He is an active contributor to the journal Allemagne d'Aujourd'hui, for which he has co-edited several issues with Jean-Louis Georget on photography, contemporary dance and alternative medicine.
- Summary:
- Club culture has become an ever-growing interdisciplinary research field in the social sciences. The contributors to this volume offer state of the art perspectives on night studies in France and Germany and the techno scene from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. They explore three main areas: scenes and communities; diversity and inclusion; and social and ecological challenges for a sustainable club culture during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
- »[The book] turns the mirror on DMCs in Europe, not to show the fairest of them all, but to reflect on its complexity, on the possibility of what utopia and hedonism have to offer in opposition to and harmony with the every-day, warts and all.«
