About :

The Austrian writer Eva Menasse is concerned: In the context of the debate about the Gaza war, people would rather say nothing more about Israel than burn their mouths. This cowardice does not lead to political progress, but to the disintegration of the public sphere. Topics in this episode: 00:00 What is the deal with the obligation to confess? 12:20 Would a world without social media be better? 17:41 What were the accusations made against PEN Berlin regarding the Gaza war? 25:29 Why Menasse does not believe in cultural boycotts 47:03 Why left-wing symbolic politics does not combat anti-Semitism The complaint about the poisoned discourse climate has now become a basic part of the diagnosis of the present. The award-winning bestselling author Eva Menasse is also concerned and warns of the fragmentation of public space in a digital modern age dominated by "brute simplification" and "hate mobs". As one of the spokespersons for PEN Berlin, she is particularly concerned about freedom of art and freedom of expression. At first glance, revoked prizes, canceled exhibitions and uninvited guests give the reassuring feeling of having done something against anti-Semitism, racism or transphobia. But this does nothing to combat polarization - on the contrary. Rather, she sees it as a compulsion to confess, an expression of the "choking desire to be guaranteed to be on the right side". The result: symbolic rather than substantive politics. But where are the limits of freedom of speech? And what makes people misunderstand each other so much? Barbara Bleisch asks.
