About the lecture
According to common understanding, imagination does not necessarily belong to the "law-typical" characteristics. This profession-typical restraint also applies to the engagement with non-legal literature. However, current problems of regulation, from the question of rights for AI and technology-based totalitarian temptations to problems of gender fluidity, especially in SF literature, are addressed in a sometimes quite sophisticated way. In the lecture, the aim is to campaign for more acceptance of the possibility of broadening horizons that this implies.
