"(White) identity politics and the contemporary US culture wars" (PD Dr. Simone Knewitz) Part of the lecture series and collaborative interdisciplinary research project "Democratisation and Power Structures". This talk will trace the “career” of the term “critical race theory” and the discourse it has generated to shed light on how the power of language is deployed within the culture wars around identity politics in the United States. It highlights “critical race theory” as a paradigmatic example of a larger conservative strategy to appropriate and reframe concepts of the political left in order to secure power. Situating the debate on “critical race theory” within the contemporary discourse on racism in the US, the presentation seeks to raise the question of why this strategy is successful and whether it exposes flaws in progressive ideas about race and (anti-)racism.

Full Titel: ‘On democratization and change in institutional power discourse‘ (PD Dr. Elisabeth Reber) Part of the lecture series "Democratisation and Power Structures". Democratization has been described as the “reduction of overt markers of power asymmetry” (Fairclough 1992: 98). Reber (2021) has studied how practices of quoting serve to (de)construct power at Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs), a parliamentary session with the Prime Minister at the British House of Commons, and how these practices have changed between 1978-2013. The aims of this paper are twofold: 1) I show how changing practices of quoting at PMQs can be related to democratization and argue that democratization may be linked to personalization. 2) Looking at another type of institutional discourse, I present first steps into a new project on United States Supreme Court Opinions, which explores how power asymmetries are created from the early 20th century to today through linguistic and discursive practices.

"A visual and anthropological approach" (Dr. Stefano Boni) Part of the lecture series and collaborative interdisciplinary research project "Democratisation and Power Structures". The presentation focuses on two spatial dichotomies to illustrate recurrent forms of political arrangements. The first dichotomy is visible in horizontal and vertical organizations: a horizontal and circular disposition of bodies is associated to equality of value and power dispersion among participants; on the contrary, the choreographic vertical elevation of leaders expresses inequality and power concentration. The second dichotomy, characteristic of vertical organizations, distinguishes those who stand above from those below. A visual and cross-cultural approach is used to illustrate the nuances that the organizational models present throughout human history (the visual material is available at Le figure del potere (eleuthera.it) ).

"Marginalisation in performance" (Dr. Imke Lichterfeld) Part of the lecture series and collaborative interdisciplinary research project "Democratisation and Power Structures". “If we want to reflect the society in which we live we need to allow other voices to be heard, other stories to be told.“ This profession on casting of formerly marginalised groups in the theatre was announced by Gregory Doran, the Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company. He assembled a diverse, inclusive ensemble that presented “a massive crack in the glass ceiling”, the imagined threshold of traditionally white male castings. Professed colour-conscious and gender-conscious casting can highlight this. What about people with different health issues recognised as disabilities?
