...Markus Holdo! You just came back from Italy where you've done fieldwork, tell me, what have you done and how did it go? – Yes, it was very exciting! I'm gathering material for a study on how people in rural areas think about politics and development. It became particularly clear after Brexit that there's a lot we don't understand. For example, it's interesting, and some might say paradoxical,

What is it that causes something to transform? And what is a transformation, really? Sometimes we speak of tipping points or boiling points—critical states where a small change can cause an entire system, ultimately even the whole planet, to change form. In physics and chemistry, such phase transitions can be observed and predicted, but the larger the context, the harder it becomes—and the more is
