Pacifist Imaginaries. Paul Scheerbart’s Lesabéndio (1913)
In his 1913 sci-fi novel Lesabéndio. An Astroid-Novel, Paul Scheerbart (1863-1915) presents a utopian vision of emancipatory, technological infrastructures. In the paper presentation I will discuss this technological lifeworld within the framework of Scheerbart’s overall pacifist writings.
