It does no longer aim at the general\, standardized and average solely\, but promo tes and expects uniqueness. Things\, individuals\, events\, places and com munities - everything wants to be special... The result is a competition o f attention and evaluation for the status of this uniqueness\, the so-call ed singularity. The result: the are losers and winners. Digital technologi es\, such as social media platforms and smartphones\, are a necessary cond ition of the process. Andreas Reckwitz asks in his lecture on the society of singularities: To what extent can digitalisation be interpreted as a me chanism of social singularisation and what are the consequences?\n\n \ ;\n\nReflecting on this year's lecture series\, Jeanette Hofmann\, Directo r of the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society\, Thoma s Krüger\, President of the bpb\, and Andreas Reckwitz discuss in which d igital society we want to live: What action potential remains in the digit al world in times of increasing monopolization and data collection? How ca n we as a society bring about change and where do we need new political im pulses? In short: How can we shape the transformation?\n\n \;\n\n[phot ospace size="large" ids="55400\,55390\,55396\,55384\,55386\,55392\,55388\, 55394\,55398\,55402"]\n\n \;\n\nAndreas Reckwitz is Professor of Compa rative Cultural Sociology at the European University Viadrina.
