We are once again witnessing an intense authoritarian and far-right radicalization. It exhibits pronounced masculinity-ideological dimensions, through which authoritarian and fascist models of masculinity are normalized or even promoted as ideals. In this event, Markus Theunert offers both theoretical and practical insights into the factors driving masculinity-ideological radicalization: How can it be recognized? Most importantly, how can it be prevented?
The online event takes place as part of Prof. Dr. Nurhak Polat’s course “Masculinities: Authoritarian Resonances, Alliances, and Networks” in the Institute of Anthropology and Cultural Studies and the MATS (Master’s Program in Transcultural Studies), but it is open to everyone.
