Abstract No6: Ideas, Facts and Fictions. What Remains - A Homage to the Enduring
W.I.R.E (toim.)
In times of dramatic change for the world’s economy,
climate, culture, and art, ABSTRACT takes a revealing and entertaining
look at what endures. Everything seems to be in flux: capitalism through
the Occupy movement, democracy through political reorganization in
North Africa, the climate through the economic advancement of newly
industrializing nations, our media usage through the ubiquity of digital
devices. Whether one welcomes change or clings to established habits,
one cannot ignore the fact that our planet is currently seething with
developments. Now, the new edition of ABSTRACT focuses on a subject that
has almost been forgotten in these stormy seas of change: that which
endures. Through insightful texts--some factual, some fantastic--as well
as appealing images, information graphics, and detachable postcards
"What Remains: A Homage to the Enduring" explores what has remained the
same throughout the history of humankind and why. The edition asks
whether it is life itself that naturally produces these constants or
whether it is the decision of individuals to perpetuate them. Input and
answers can be found in contributions by a wide range of experts
including curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, former Swiss president Doris
Leuthard, psychologist Hans J. Markowitsch, and author of crime fiction
Heinrich Steinfest. ABSTRACT is a series of books that seamlessly
combines scientific rigor and entertainment, intellectual depth and
overview, hard facts and the surreal. Each issue gets to the root of the
challenges pertaining to a current topic by providing a platform for
thinkers and doers from diverse fields of knowledge and activity.
Readers of ABSTRACT include scientists, managers, politicians, artists,
and anyone who expects more than usual from a print publication. The
ABSTRACT book series is created by W.I.R.E. Web for Interdisciplinary
Research & Expertise. This independent think tank is affiliated with
the Collegium Helveticum of the ETH (Federal Technical University) and
the University of Zurich. W.I.R.E. researches global developments in
trade and industry, society, and the life sciences and enjoys the
support of an international board of experts, pioneering thinkers, and
decision makers. This book is also available in German.
