Libri Nigri
Edited by Hans Rainer Sepp

The libri nigri meet preferentially at sites where the boundaries of realities, standpoints, disciplines as well as cultural traditions and traditions of knowledge come into view and where their assump-tions are negotiable. To trace their intentions of reasoning is more important than the search for the reasons themselves; the daring experiment means more than the effectual model; disturbing action more than the drive towards safeguarding. Since the sites for decisive action are found mostly on the fringes and not at the centers and since boundaries not only function as limits but also simultane-ously cover up the potential for difference and otherness, this series will also not refrain from enter-ing the terrain of the Utopian.
