Our CRC members Miglė Bareikytė (P06) and Julia Bee (B09 and Ö) edited the new special issue of the Navigationen journal on “Liefern. Logistiken, Daten und Politiken”.
Delivery encompasses media practices of mobility, data and geopolitics. Delivery practices change work, imaginations and urban spaces.
This issue focuses on the last mile between logistics, platformized work and resistant practices.
Texts from media studies, border and mobility studies and logistical regimes are combined in this issue with conversations with delivery workers and activist research with Amazon workers.
The special issue of Navigations “Liefern. Logistics, Data and Politics” contains contributions by Armin Beverungen, Mathias Denecke, Gerko Egert, Max Haiven, Felix Hasebrink, Živilė Miežytė, Michelle Pfeifer, Sebastian Randerath Maximilian Rünker, Anke Strüver, Patricia Ward, Hannah Wiemer and Semih Yalcin.

The journal Navigationen — Zeitschrift für Medien- und Kulturwissenschaften was founded in 2001 at the suggestion of Klaus Kreimeier and is supervised both conceptually and editorially by Prof. Dr. Jens Schröter (University of Bonn), Prof. Dr. Benjamin Beil (University of Cologne) as well as Dr. Christoph Borbach and Max Kanderske from the Science, Technology & Media Studies team at the University of Siegen. Each issue has different editors – both from the ranks of the professors and the mid-level faculty. Without being committed to a specific tradition or ‘school’ education, it is dedicated to audiovisual media in the past and present – with a focus on the dynamics of new media technologies – which are understood and analyzed as instruments of social self-observation and self-reflection: It is about explorations and discoveries, about orientations and localizations in the universe of media. Navigationen is published with two issues per year.
