Wer ist hier das Opfer? Wenn Schwäche politisch wird. Mit Alice Hasters und Maria-Sibylla Lotter

In the organizer's words:

Talk shows, parliamentary debates and social media - people are talking about "victims" everywhere. But who does this actually mean and why is the term so controversial? Alice Hasters describes in Anti Opfer. Why we despise vulnerability, Alice Hasters describes a cultural shift in which sensitivity is devalued and toughness is declared a virtue. She shows how this development is linked to authoritarian tendencies - and how the term "victim" itself is politically instrumentalized. In the interview, she meets the philosopher Maria-Sibylla Lotter, who in Opfer. On Vulnerability as a Self-Image, she takes a different perspective: In a culture that recognizes vulnerability, there is a growing danger of settling into the role of victim and losing the ability to act. When does the reference to vulnerability become a necessary criticism - and when does it become a problematic self-description? Moderated by: Simone Miller
