Acknowledgements
The editors would like to express their great appreciation to Carmen Meinert and Claus Leggewie for their patient guidance and support in enabling this volume to become a fruitful contribution to the Climate and Culture series. Further sincere gratitude goes to the series editors’ team, namely Ben Müller, Sebastian Sponheuer, Thorben Pelzer and Nele Fabian, for their valuable help in ensuring that all contributions are in due form. At the University of Basel, Raphael Jenny and Zanele Leu helped to ensure that the publisher’s guidelines were followed. The authors would also like to thank Patrick Grogan for his language editing and proof-reading.
We naturally owe the contributors to this volume a great debt of gratitude. Editing and re-editing this volume to ensure both its high quality and its compatibility with the overall series has proven far more time-consuming than we had anticipated. Thank you so much for your patience.
We also wish to thank all those who supported us in planning, preparing, implementing, and following up on the initial authors’ workshop, especially the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, whose generous financial support rendered the workshop possible in the first place, and the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities (kwi) for providing the workshop venue as well as supportive staff and infrastructure. We are also especially grateful to Carmen Meinert, Steven Engler and Jan Schuster, who were excellent hosts of the panels, and Maria Klauwer and Britta Weber, who kept our administrative burden to a minimum. Andreas Eckert also helped initiate the workshop and provided guidance and assistance in its organisation.
