Episode #9: What is a Worldmaking Project?

What do imperialist, religious, egalitarian, or flat earth theory
movements have in common? How do they conceptualize their visions
of the world or their ideas of a world order? And how do they
each try to convince others of the superiority of their model or
idea?



The ZiF research group „Understanding the Transformations of
World Politics: Ordering Principles and the Infrastructures of
Communication“ challenges rather mono-narrative understandings of
world order, and we are talking about how they do that in this
episode with two of the convenors, the historian Heidi Tworek and
the sociologist Tobias Werron, and a fellow of the group, the
political scientist Heikki Patomäki.
