Vom Krieg zerrissene Kulturlandschaften: Nachdenken über die Ukraine
Sonderheft von undisciplined thinking
[War-Torn Cultural Landscapes: Thinking about Ukraine. Special issue of undisciplined thinking]

The 24th of February 2024 marked two years since the beginning of Russia’s genocidal war of aggression against Ukraine and its people. The destruction of independent Ukraine and the extermination of its cultural identity are some of Russia’s goals in this war of aggression. The publication of this special issue on the platform undisciplined thinking is a symbol of solidarity with the Ukrainians. Moreover, the issue explores questions that the Russian war of aggression has raised (again). However, we would also like to stress that there is no local or regional importance to the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine. It sets changes into motion that lead to major political, but also cultural shifts in Europe and throughout the world.
