Cultural festival "Looking after the right".
From September 4 to 7, the cultural festival "Nach dem Rechten sehen" will take place in Kassel's Nordstadt district. The festival is organized by a group of students and doctoral candidates as well as restaurateurs. The program includes a lecture with Prof. Dr. Dirk Stederoth, Institute of Philosophy at Kassel University.
Together with local groups such as the Falken Kassel, the Karnak and in cooperation with local cultural institutions and associations (Kulturzentrum Schlachthof, Biermanufaktur Steckenpferd, ASTA of the University of Kassel, Seebrücke, Kopiloten e.V., August Spies Gesellschaft, Sandershaus e.V., Initiative 06. April), the organizers offer various events spread over three days. These will take place at various locations in the Nordstadt. The thematic center should be what the organizers understand by 'right-wing shift': linguistic aggravations in the social media & linguistic strategies from the right, NSU, right-wing tendencies in the ecological movement, anti-Semitism and anti-feminism - but also civilian sea rescue and the resistance against it.
The festival is intended to address as wide a spectrum of society as possible, which is why no entrance fees are charged and various formats are offered: On the one hand mainly workshops, performances and lectures, on the other hand also Küfas, concerts, Speakers Corner, and electro parties.
Lecture with Prof. Dr. Dirk Stederoth: Braune Blasen - Gläserne Zwinger. Digitalization between New Right and Platform Totalitarianism.
Friday, 6.9.19, 19°° clock - Schlachthof, large hall.
Speaker: Dirk Stederoth
The lecture tries to show the anti-democratic alliance between the use of social media by the New Right and the global trend of user conditioning by surveillance capitalist platforms. The aim here is not only to highlight their mutual reinforcement, but especially their structural-logical similarities.
