Cultural scientist Angela McRobbie, who has been following Turanskyj’s work for a long time, introduces the material. The script is supplemented by preparatory material for the shoot from the filmmaker’s estate and by unpublished film clips.

“The first inspiration for my film was Richard Sennet’s book ‘The Corrosion of Character’. Sennet describes the harsh demands of postmodern capitalism on the individual. […] The more affirmative female characters – the City of Women – are contrasted by my heroine. She is a critic and doubter who tries in vain to adapt to the circumstances without losing her autonomy and dignity. But it is made clear to her that this can no longer be done – the price of adaptation would be the abandonment of her critical attitude towards the world.” Tatjana Turanskyj

The publication is published as a memorial and a call to “carry on” (weitermachen*) on the first anniversary of Tatjana Turanskyj’s death on 18 September 2022.
