RADIS-Ringvorlesung: Radicalized Mainstream. Mobilizing, normalizing and normativizing far-right ideologies from the centre
Im Rahmen der RADIS-Ringvorlesung in Erlangen hält am kommenden Mittwoch, dem 31. Januar 2024, um 19 Uhr in Raum KH 0.011 des Kollegienhauses Prof. Dr. Sabrina Zajak (DeZIM-Institut Berlin) einen Vortrag mit dem Titel: „Radicalized Mainstream: Mobilizing, normalizing and normativizing far-right ideologies from the centre“.
This lecture discusses the relationship between the radicalized margins and the mainstream. Radicalized actors/ideologies and the mainstream are usually considered opposing poles. The mainstream is often portrayed as moderate and centrist in terms of its convictions and policies and placed in opposition to the far-right and far-left. In this lecture, recent insights on the “normalization” of far-right actors and attitudes (Ruth Wodak, Cas Mudde) are presented, paying particular attention to “the mainstream” as a (heterogeneous) agent accommodating, aligning, justifying, and normalizing far-right actors, actions, and attitudes, as well as the reasons why and the circumstances under which this happens.
Mit diesem Vortrag endet die Erlanger Vorlesungsreihe. Weitere Informationen zum Transfervorhaben, zu Veranstaltungen und Publikationen finden sich auf der RADIS-Website.
