Populismus kritisieren – Current Perspectives
December 10, 2024, 18:00 ub.mdw – Bruno Walter-Lesesaal
Anton-von-Webern-Platz 1, 1030 Wien
Right-wing populist movements and discourses draw on new, aestheticized styles of politics and artistically tested forms of provocation that previously had left-wing connotations. They also occupy gender, family, and sexuality as trigger topics. The contributors bring together research on populism with approaches from the humanities and cultural studies, focusing on the cultural field and gender discourses as specific terrains of negotiation. In addition to an analysis of how the “right-wing populist complex” instrumentalizes current social issues, they also open up counter-strategies in the sense of radical democratic and emancipatory politics.
