About the Author :
Sonja Neef (1968-2013) was Junior Professor of European Media and Culture at the Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany, from 2003 until 2010. She also became a Fellow at the International Kolleg Morphomata at the University of Cologne and a Feodor-Lynen Scholar of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at the University of Evry (Paris).

Review :
We can now say that Sonja Neef's thinking about and analysis of encounters in the era of globalisation was prophetic. When she wrote these essays, the sense of urgency about the care for the planet, and the importance of the intercultural encounters that the qualifier “Babylonion” habours, were not as keen as they are today. We miss her wisdom and insight, but at least we now have this book - a monument of sorts. The Babylonian Planet rethinks human civilization in terms of its virtually planetary distribution in time and space. Its comprehensive narrative integrates millennial events of language, communication, mediation, and translation with significant and precisely denoted cultural forms and traces the intertextual lines of their historical transformations in the movement from globalization to planetization. The Babylonian Planet reinvents cultural studies under the prism of planetarization by the use of a creative and convincing methodology, mixing issues as diverse as mythology and deconstruction or cosmos and globalization, while underlining the essential need to thinking translation culturally. The ultimate work of a great figure of cultural studies too quickly disappeared, whose perspective remains of an extreme topicality.
