At the Edge of AI
How are human computation systems developed in the field of citizen science to achieve what neither humans nor computers can do alone? Through multiple perspectives and methods, Libuse Hannah Veprek examines the imagination of these assemblages, their creation, and everyday negotiation in the interplay of various actors and play/science entanglements at the edge of AI. Focusing on their human-technology relations, this ethnographic study shows how these formations are marked by intraversions, as they change with technological advancements and the actors' goals, motivations, and practices. This work contributes to the constructive and critical ethnographic engagement with human-AI assemblages in the making.

A Breath of Freedom
Based on an award-winning international research project and photo exhibition, this poignant and beautifully illustrated book examines the experiences of African American GIs in Germany and the unique insights they provide into the civil rights struggle at home and abroad. Thanks in large part to its military occupation of Germany after World War II, America’s unresolved civil rights agenda was exposed to worldwide scrutiny as never before. At the same time, its ambitious efforts to democratize German society after the defeat of Nazism meant that West Germany was exposed to American ideas of freedom and democracy to a much larger degree than many other countries. As African American GIs became increasingly politicized, they took on a particular significance for the Civil Rights Movement in light of Germany’s central role in the Cold War. While the effects of the Civil Rights Movement reverberated across the globe, Germany represents a special case that illuminates a remarkable period in American and world history.

Black Germany
Das erste Buch zur Geschichte der Schwarzen Bewegung in Deutschland und ihrer Protagonistinnen. »Tiffany N. Florvil leistet Pionierarbeit. Ihr Buch trägt dazu bei, dass Schwarzer Aktivismus in Deutschland endlich als das anerkannt wird, was er ist: Teil der deutschen Geschichte.« Alice Hasters. Toni Morrison, Audre Lorde und Angela Davis sind Ikonen des Schwarzen US-amerikanischen Feminismus. Die Namen ihrer Schwarzen deutschen Schwestern sind kaum bekannt: May Ayim, Katharina Oguntoye, Jasmin Eding, Judy Gummich, Eva von Pirch. Dabei wäre ohne sie die Black-Lives-Matter-Bewegung in Deutschland nicht denkbar. Sie haben das Fundament gelegt. Tiffany N. Florvil verschafft den Protagonistinnen des Schwarzen deutschen Feminismus Sichtbarkeit und legt deren zentrale Bedeutung für die Geschichte der modernen Schwarzen deutschen Bewegung offen. Mit ihrer Monografie – der ersten zu diesem Thema – räumt sie ihnen den Platz ein, den sie längst verdient haben.
