Discussion
This talk, ''Fatal Alliances: On the Entanglement of Antisemitic and Antifeminist Dynamics of Exclusion'' seeks to analyse the entanglement of exclusionist thought found in antisemitic prejudice, in antifeminist thought and in racism in Europe from the late 19th century up to the present day. It will consider discriminatory politics, practices and violence against women, Jews and other groups that were perceived as the so-called other, drawing on cases from the history of Germany, Poland and Hungary in a comparative approach. Since connections between exclusion, sexuality and violence during the 19th and 20th centuries are currently undergoing reinterpretation , the lecture will also examine developments and examples of anti-gender ideology and right-wing populism in contemporary Europe and discuss the dangers such shared forms of group resentment pose to democracy.
