In the late 1970s, stimulated by reading newer French philosophers, interested intellectuals and artists met to build a magazine in the German-speaking area. These included Frank Böckelmann , Peter Gente , Ulrich Giersch, Dietmar Kamper , Herbert Nagel, Günter Nahr, Ulrich Raulff , Walter Seitter and Hanns Zischler . Since the early 1980s, the publications on traffic science had three editors: Frank Böckelmann, Dietmar Kamper and Walter Seitter. The time was right for the establishment of magazines with manifesto character and avant-garde standards. The attempts made in the 1960s to give Marxism new life had been disappointing, whereas reading “post-structuralist” theorists such as Jacques Derrida , Michel Serres , Maurice Blanchot , Pierre Klossowski , Michel Foucault , Roland Barthes , Jean-François Lyotard , Gilles Deleuze , Félix Guattari , Jean Baudrillard , Paul Virilio developed extensive sources for analysis, understanding and action in the political and cultural arena.

After numerous discussions, including with Michel Foucault in Berlin, the exchange of many concepts and negotiations with several publishers, the first edition of Tumult appeared in 1979 in Berlin's Merve Verlag (directed by Peter Gente and Heidi Paris) . Journal for traffic science with articles on topics of urbanism, popular culture, philosophy and disaster theory. The "responsible editorial staff" included: Frank Böckelmann, Peter Gente, Ulrich Giersch, Dietmar Kamper, Herbert Nagel, Günter Nahr, Ulrich Raulff, Walter Seitter and Hanns Zischler. Frank Böckelmann, editor of Tumult since 2013 . Quarterly for Consensus Disruption Resigned as editor in February 2016.

On the early history of tumult. Publications on traffic science report u. a. Ulrich Raulff and Philipp Felsch .

The term "traffic science" alludes to the older one of "traffic conditions"; he means the way people and things relate to one another. These relationships are types of movement that are libidinally driven and that decide one's fate.

The publications on traffic science have appeared in more than forty volumes and have an eventful publishing history; they are currently being published by Sonderzahl Verlag in Vienna.

Tumult. Publications on transport science cannot be assigned to a specific type of publication. Philosophical treatises stand alongside interviews, prose pieces, fictions and manifestos. The pictures and photo series have the status of independent contributions. Tumult. Writings on transport science searches for topics that have not yet been taken up by the major discourses or have been marginalized by them. This resulted in titles such as The Planet (no. 7), professors (no. 13), Zoopolitik (no. 27) and faces Moden (no. 31). Individual editions are dedicated to the life works of thinkers who are almost unknown, forgotten or underestimated in the German-speaking world: Gaëtan Gatian de Clérambault , Ernst H. Kantorowicz , Pierre Legendre , Georgios Gemistos Plethon . For the individual commotion. Different editors are responsible for publications on traffic science volumes.

In October 2018 and with the publication of volume 43 Von Wegen. Paving the way for modernity , the publications on traffic science finally " abandon the name tumult (without wanting to forget it)".

The editorial board of the publications on transport science currently consists of 21 people: Dieter Bandhauer, Ivo Gurschler, Sebastian Hackenschmidt, Andreas Leopold Hofbauer, Frank Jödicke, Alexander Klose, Helmut Kohlenberger , Ulrich van Loyen, Piet Meyer, Peter Möschl, Michael Neumann, Michaela Ott, Walter Pamminger, Peter Pörtner, Wolfert von Rahden, Christopher Schlembach, Gianluigi Segalerba, Walter Seitter, Benjamin Steininger , Elsbeth Wallnöfer and Hanns Zischler (the latter as an "outpatient editor").

The writings on transport science continue the original line of observing the present without pessimism, cynicism and resentment.
