Gastvortrag an der Universität des Saarlandes von Joon-Ho/Ryan Ahn Roden, PhD candidate University of Hawai'i Mānoa 

In every conversation of security, diplomacy, and the path to future polity, there is the imaginary that it is fed upon. For every concern of socioeconomic crisis and political instability, there is the simulation meant to address it. By every medium from which the future is projected, from the classroom emulation session to the symposium’s simulation exercise, play becomes the vessel from which we build our political realities.

The 21st century marks a period of rapidly increasing climate-induced crisis, and mass securitization that has reshaped socioeconomic agreements and practices of militarization, especially across the Pacific. It is overwhelmingly critical to take a lens to the legacies of violence and state making, their contemporary repercussions, and the form of futures they indicate throughout the Trans-Pacific region.

Joon-Ho/Ryan Ahn Roden is a PhD Student with the Department of Political Science at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa – specializing in areas of Indigenous Politics and Alternative Futures – and a visiting scholar with the North American Literary and Cultural Studies program at Saarland University. His talk delves into the practices of play in designing political futures, looking into the limits of political realities they embody, and how a decolonial imaginary can be fostered and centered for the future of U.S.-German Cooperation.
