Lesefestival antifaschistische Literatur: Wort für Wort: Antifaschistische Kurzlektüre von LTI Mit Hannah Wallenfels und Yayla Höpfl

Language shapes our perception and political reality. We’ll explore this topic by reading together an excerpt from *LTI: The Notebook of a Philologist* by Victor Klemperer (1947), in which he analyzes how language functioned under National Socialism. Using examples from newspapers, advertisements, official correspondence, and conversations with neighbors, Klemperer demonstrates how deeply ideological patterns are embedded in everyday repetitions. Afterward, we’ll discuss together to what extent Klemperer’s observations and authoritarian continuities are reappearing today, before moving on to a “Silent Conversation” as a collaborative exchange. No prior knowledge or preparatory reading is required.
