Is satire allowed to do anything or is it a backdoor for verbal violence that humiliates and discriminates?

Comedy and satire in situations of social, political and cultural upheaval since the 19th century" and the panel discussion "Just kidding!".

The panel discussion will feature cartoonist Katharina Greve, philosopher and journalist Philipp Hübl, actress Jasmin Shakeri and former Titanic editor-in-chief Tim Wolff. It is organized by the "History of Western Europe" department at the University of Kassel and the Caricatura Kassel.

The panel discussion, which is open to the public, will take place on May 13 at the Kulturbahnhof Kassel/Südflügel from 7:30 p.m. Admission is free. It is the highlight of the conference "Lachen und Verlachen. Comedy and satire in social, political and cultural upheavals since the 19th century".

The conference will take place from May 12 to 14 in the conference room of the International House at the University of Kassel.
