How does an urban community come to terms with the loss of its
future? The former socialist model city of Hoyerswerda is an
extreme case of a declining postindustrial city. Built to serve the
GDR coal industry, it lost over half its population to outmigration
after German reunification and the coal industry crisis, leading to
the large-scale deconstruction of its cityscape. This book tells
the story of its inhabitants, now forced to reconsider their
futures. Building on recent theoretical work, it advances a new
anthropological approach to time, allowing us to investigate the
postindustrial era and the futures it has supposedly lost.
