Who says that?! A panel discussion about satire and discrimination

For the second time, the Caricatura Galerie and the University of Kassel are jointly organizing a panel on topics of satire. At these panels, actors from satire, comic art, journalism, politics and science will talk about new developments and interactions between satire and society.

Who says that?!
Societies are constantly changing, and with them change the use of language, taboos and manners. Terms that were acceptable yesterday are frowned upon today. Gestures that were disturbing yesterday are normal today. And the boundaries of what can be said shift regularly. This also affects satire, which, as a mirror of society, dwells especially in the border areas of social norms. In the area of tension between enlightenment and discrimination, a broad spectrum is offered here.

Satire and Society
How does society change language and how does language change society? How do satire and comedy evolve with society? And how does satire change when it is deprived of the possibility of exaggeration? Author and journalist Hasnain Kazim, literary scholar Holger Kersten, Titanic editor-in-chiefJulia Mateus, cartoonist Til Mette and Member of the Bundestag Boris Mijatovic will discuss these questions.

Moderation: Amira El Ahl

Organized by Caricatura Galerie in cooperation with the History of Western Europe Department (University of Kassel) and supported by the City of Kassel and the cdw Foundation.
