Beyond MAUS
Beyond MAUS. The Legacy of Holocaust Comics collects 16 contributions that shed new light on the representation of the Holocaust. While MAUS by Art Spiegelman has changed the perspectives, other comics and series of drawings, some produced while the Holocaust happened, are often not recognised by a wider public. A plethora of works still waits to be discovered, like early caricatures and comics referring to the extermination of the Jews, graphic series by survivors or horror stories from 1950s comic books. The volume provides overviews about the depictions of Jews as animals, the representation of prisoner societies in comics as well as in depth studies about distorted traces of the Holocaust in Hergé's Tintin and in Spirou, the Holocaust in Mangas, and Holocaust comics in Poland and Israel, recent graphic novels and the use of these comics in schools. With contributions from different disciplines, the volume also grants new perspectives on comic scholarship.

Generation Beleidigt
Dies ist die Geschichte einer kleinen gemeinen Lynchjustiz, die in unser Privatleben eindringt, uns Identitäten zuschreibt und unseren demokratischen Austausch zensiert. Eine Plage der Sensibilität. Jeden Tag eine Gruppe, eine Minderheit, ein zum Stellvertreter einer Sache sich aufspielendes Individuum, das fordert, droht und uns auf die Nerven geht. In Kanada fordern Studenten die Streichung eines Yogakurses, um sich nicht dem Risiko der indischen Kultur auszusetzen. In den Vereinigten Staaten würde man am liebsten asiatische Menüs in den Kantinen verbieten und die als anstößig und normativ verurteilten großen klassischen Werke von Flaubert bis Dostojewski aus dem Unterrichtsplan streichen. Studenten bezeichnen den geringsten Widerspruch als "Mikroaggression" und klagen "safe spaces" ein. In Wirklichkeit aber lernt man nur, Debatten zu meiden. Aufgrund geographischer oder sozialer Herkunft, Geschlecht, Hautfarbe und der persönlichen Geschichte versucht man, die Hegemonie über die öffentliche Rede zu erreichen. Eine Einschüchterung, die bis zur Entlassung von Professoren geht. (Caroline Fourest)
Populismus und Protest
Wie verändern Technologien Partizipation? Das Aufkommen digitaler Technologien hat neue Formen des Engagements ermöglicht, die Protestbewegungen, politische Kampagnen oder auch Initiativen der politischen Bildung prägen. Veränderte Aufmerksamkeitsökonomien und Affektpolitiken, von denen rechtspopulistische Akteur*innen profitieren, fordern die demokratische Selbstverständigung ebenso heraus wie die Macht der Daten. Der Band versammelt Perspektiven aus der Allgemeinen Erziehungswissenschaft und Medienpädagogik auf (post-)digitale demokratische Öffentlichkeiten.
