Research focus »Democratic Vistas«Lecture
Johannes von Moltke (University of Michigan, American Academy)
»Demokratische Kultur im Zerrspiegel neurechter ›Metapolitik‹«
About the lecture (in German)
An Beispielen von beiden Seiten des Atlantiks zeigt der Literatur- und Filmwissenschaftler Johannes von Moltke, wie eine neurechte »Metapolitik« im »vorpolitischen« Bereich versucht, den öffentlichen Diskurs und kulturelle Werte nach rechts zu verschieben. Dabei werden ehemals linke Positionen in ihr Gegenteil verkehrt und ein Verwirrspiel beginnt, das dem anderen politischen Lager diese Verkehrung vorwirft. Indem er diese Strategien analysiert, möchte von Moltke zu einem differenzierten und kritischen Umgang mit neurechten Positionen beitragen.
