JLS (Journal of Literature and Science) Vol. 18, Issue 2 (2025): Special Issue The Ethics and Narratives of Non-Knowledge, edited by Simone Broders and Anna Augusck. https://www.literatureandscience.org/volume-18-issue-2-2025/
The open-access placement (funded by VolkswagenStiftung) in the JLS is especially relevant to the overarching topic of the conference. The special issues showcase the research of numerous scholars from Anglophone Studies in Germany – from early career researchers to established scholars, including the vantage point of a university of applied sciences. They comprise not only representations of science in drama, fiction and poetry, but also reflections on the use of narratives in non-fiction to convey scientific debates; both in ethical debates on AI and from historical perspectives with regard to non-mainstream narratives in early astronomy. Complemented by international contributions with an interdisciplinary focus functioning as ‘transits’ to fields as diverse as philosophy, physics, and mathematics, this publication increases the visibility of the contribution of Anglophone Studies to current debates on areas of non-knowledge, particularly artificial intelligence and global change.
