Off-Reflection Series


REFLECTION SERIES 1: Off-State

*** Now published in a new format here ***

First Issue of Reflection Series is online! 

For its first edition, Off University’s Reflection Series invited contributors to ponder the notion of the off state using multiple forms and languages. The volume launched today presents an invitation for readers to dive into alternative ways of knowing and sharing knowledge. We ask you to delve in the following essays, stories, visual and audio art works that engage with feelings of dislocation and exile, loss and separation, uncertainty and ambivalence, but also hope:

The reflections on the ‘off state’ featured in this volume are only the beginning to an ongoing participatory discussion of multiple troubled concepts. Paying tribute to this open-ended character, the first issue of our Reflection Series remains open to new contributions. If you are interested in contributing to our first issue, please send us your abstract: reflections@off-university.de . Future issues will continue to address new burning questions from an off-disciplinary perspective. Follow us to keep informed about our upcoming calls!
