Information on the lecture series:

The recent election victories of the political right in various Latin American countries have heralded a change of political direction in South America in recent years. With the inauguration of Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, described by many as right-wing populist and radical, this political trend has intensified in an unsettling way.

The planned series of lectures refers to these current events, but also to historical backgrounds, as historical contributions on the traditions of right-wing and left-wing movements in Latin America are planned alongside analyses from political science. A further focus is on cultural studies approaches, in which literature, films and social discourses will be discussed.
