Wer liest denn noch ein Buch? Hoffentlich viele, denn unsere Demokratie braucht Analyse, Reflexion und mutige Ideen. Wer sich Leseempfehlungen aus dem Jahr 2020 holen möchte, ist bei unserer Podcastreihe zum Preis „Das politische Buch“ 2020 richtig. Azadê Peşmen spricht mit den Autor_innen der ausgezeichneten Bücher über die drängenden Fragen unserer Zeit – von Rechtsextremismus, Identität und Klimakrise bis Wiedervereinigung, Kapitalismus und Infrastrukturpolitik. Deutsche Geschichte mal anders erzählt, und zwar aus der Perspektive derjenigen, die dazu gekommen sind. Warum Migration zur DNA unseres Landes gehört, wie wir zu einem neuen Wir-Gefühl kommen, in dem sich alle aufgehoben fühlen, und was das für die politische Gestaltung der heutigen Einwanderungsgesellschaft heißt – diese Fragen diskutiert Jan Plamper im Gespräch über sein Buch „Das neue Wir. Warum Migration dazugehört: Eine andere Geschichte der Deutschen“. Mit: Prof. Dr. Jan Plamper, Moderation: Azadê Peşmen
Akademische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema RD+ mit apl. Prof. Dr. Jannis Panagiotidis: Was sind die zentralen Themen der Forschung um Russlanddeutsche in der deutschen Gesellschaft, wie erfolgt die Kontextualisierung mit der sowjetischen Geschichte und an welchen Universitäten wird diese unter anderem betrieben? Ist ein “nieschiges” monothematisches Forschungsfeld überhaupt noch haltbar angesichts der vielfältigen bundesdeutschen Migrationsgesellschaft und der eigenen Heterogenität dieser Zuwanderergruppe? Einige Antworten auf diese und weitere Fragen erfahrt ihr in unserer neuen Folge!

Can a sense of belonging exist that both encompasses nationhood and goes beyond it? Gary Younge, Susan Nieman and Jan Plamper look for a European identity that turns neoliberal ideology around. https://www.eurozine.com/contaminated-words/ Subscribe to our weekly newsletter, so you'll always know what's worth thinking about: https://www.eurozine.com/newsletter/ This discussion took place at the 30th European Meeting on Cultural Journals on the 2nd of November 2019 in Berlin.

Sibling competition may have played a bigger role in human evolution than you thought. Flickr/Dmitry Boyarin, CC BY-SADid you fight with a brother or sister when you were little? Do you still? According to Rob Brooks, professor of evolutionary ecology at UNSW, sibling competition has played a more important role in human evolution than many of us realise. “Siblings compete with one another for the love and affection of their parents but even more importantly for the investment of their parents. And that’s been a really big force in the evolution of our species,” he says in the latest episode of Trust Me, I’m An Expert, a podcast from The Conversation about the most fascinating stories from Australia’s academic experts. Our November episode is all about research on competition, including the often fierce rivalry between siblings. “There’s the notion that if that other child gets something that I don’t get or gets to it first – even if it’s the Weet-Bix packet and there are more than enough Weet-Bix in there – then I am going to be denied,” Brooks says on the podcast. “I think we have deep psychological affinity for this knowledge.” In the same episode, Victoria University sports historian Rob Hess discusses some of the long forgotten categories of the Olympic Games and its precursor the Wenlock Olympian Games – including penny-farthing races and even a town planning competition. And we hear from Seng Loke, a professor in computing science at Deakin University about how driverless cars may one day end up colluding with each other and competing against rival cars.

Jan Plamper begins in his book, The Stalin Cult: A Study in the Alchemy of Power (Yale University Press, 2012), with two illuminating anecdotes that demonstrate the power and scope of Stalin’s personality cult. The first comes from Sergei Kavtaradze, an Old Bolshevik and longtime friend of Stalin. Upon his release from the gulag in 1940, Stalin and Beria accompanied Kavtaradze to his old apartment, which was then occupied by an old woman. When he woman saw Stalin at her door she staggered back and fainted. When Beria asked why she was scared by the “father of all peoples,” the woman replied, “I thought that a portrait of Stalin was moving towards me.” The second tale comes from Artyom Sergeev, Stalin’s adopted son. Sergeev recalled one night when Stalin learned that his biological son, Vasily, used his famous name to escape punishment from one of drunken binges. In response to Stalin’s rage, Vasily said, “But I’m a Stalin too.” “No you’re not,” Stalin rebuffed. “You’re not Stalin and I’m not Stalin. Stalin is Soviet power. Stalin is what he is in the newspapers and the portraits, not you, not even me!” The production of the Stalin personality cult that disembodied the man and turned him into a symbol of Soviet power is at the heart of Plamper’s text. The cult made Stalin more than a leader–it transformed him into the Archimedean point of historical time and space. For Stalin represented the communist future as well as the vantage point in the socialist present. At the heart of this cult was Stalin’s image, which was reproduced in a variety of media, including portraiture and film. But the crafting, production, and canonization of Stalin’s image was no simple endeavor. It involved technologies that gave Stalin’s cult a particularly modern flavor. As Plamper shows, the production and dissemination of Stalin’s cult, which began in earnest with his 50th birthday in 1929, involved an entire institutional apparatus including mass media, artistic unions, art criticism, artistic competitions, individual filters, particularly Stalin’s secretaries Lev Mekhils and Aleksandr Poskryobyshev, and art patrons like Defense Minister Kliment Voroshilov, on top of which stood Stalin at the apex. Indeed, Stalin’s personal role in crafting his cult has undergone much debate. Plamper finds that it is best to view Stalin’s relationship to his cult as a form of “immodest modesty.” Stalin wanted his own cult and meticulously controlled it, at the same time he purposefully disavowed it. And through this alchemy of institutional and individual power did Stalin’s personality cult penetrate the psyche of the Soviet citizenry.
