Description

How does an urban community come to terms with the loss of its future?

The former socialist model city of Hoyerswerda is an extreme case of a declining postindustrial city.

Built to serve the GDR coal industry, it lost over half its population to outmigration after German reunification and the coal industry crisis, leading to the large-scale deconstruction of its cityscape.

This book tells the story of its inhabitants, now forced to reconsider their futures.

Building on recent theoretical work, it advances a new anthropological approach to time, allowing us to investigate the postindustrial era and the futures it has supposedly lost.
