Susanne Kerckhoff: Berliner Briefe Für die eBook-Ausgabe neu lektoriert, voll verlinkt, mit eBook-Inhaltsverzeichnis und Fußnoten Die ersten fünf Jahre nach dem Ende des Naziregimes erscheinen aus heutiger Sicht wie eine black box. Es war auf deutscher Seite eine Zeit der Scham, des sich Unsichtbarmachens, der kollektiven Verdrängung was zur Folge hatte, dass es damals kaum literarische oder journalistische Zeitschau gab. Im Gegensatz dazu sind...

¿Por qué no pasan los 70? ¿Cómo se activan hoy esos años traumáticos, marcados por la militancia revolucionaria y la barbarie dictatorial? Cuando vuelven, ¿vuelven como un pasado que puede aportar perspectiva para entender los dilemas de este tiempo, o como un material que resulta banalizado o utilizado en la disputa política y partidaria? ¿Cómo entender las reacciones al fallo de la Corte que abría el camino al 2x1 para procesados por...

La extrema derecha está dejando de raparse la cabeza y cada vez emplea menos el saludo romano, ahora se pone traje y Corbata, y, junto al emoji de carita sonriente y el de la taza de café, continúa la cadena de fake news y comparte los titulares con mayor clickbait que le han llegado a través de sus redes sociales para dar los buenos días. Aunque aquella resulta clara y llanamente amenazadora, la nueva versión encierra peligros que pasan fácilmente...

La notion d'extrémisme est une notion confuse. Censée permettre une classification, elle est surtout une diabolisation de l'adversaire. Mais ce terme polémique oublie souvent de décrire ce qu'il considère comme le Mal absolu. Il faut donc s'efforcer de dissocier, dans le discours politique, les réactions passionnelles et les réflexes idéologiques des menaces objectives, ce qui n'est guère facile. Les incarnations de la condamnation pour extrémisme...

Diagnoses our contemporary spatial experience as fundamentally totalitarian through a multilayered critical theory of space.
We live today within a system in which state and corporate power aim to render space flat, transparent, and uniform, for only then can it be truly controlled. The gaze of power and the commodity form are capable of infiltrating even the darkest of corners, and often, we invite them into our most private spaces. We do so as...

Mario and the Magician is one of Mann's most political stories. Mann openly criticizes fascism, a choice which later became one of the grounds for his exile to Switzerland following Hitler's rise to power. The magician, Cipolla, is analogous to the looming specter of fascism emergent in that era. The story was especially timely, considering the tensions in Europe when it was written, Mussolini was urging Italians to recapture the glory of the Roman...

Éric Zemmour is an apparent contradiction-widely viewed as a dissident racist, he's a Jewish Algerian Berber whose family comes from North Africa. Even more transgressive for the French political establishment, he views himself as the legitimate heir of Charles de Gaulle-the sanctified World War II resistance leader and founder of the Fifth Republic. But a look at de Gaulle's political history, particularly his policy towards French Algeria in the...

Bullet-ridden, spat on, butchered bloody: this was the fate of Il Duce, strung up beside his dead mistress in a Milan square, as reviled in death as he was adored in life.
