Karin Stögner - From Hatred of Difference to Identity Compulsion: Authoritarian Personality Today

Описание: Professor Karin Stögner from the University of Passau presents a new reading of the concept of Authoritarian Personality, in an attempt to understand the contemporary manifestations of authoritarianism in our societies. Hatred of difference and identity compulsion are considered key elements for this. But how would it be possible to counter this authoritarianism? Wouldn’t we need to rethink the sense of what it means to be an individual?

This Open Seminar, promoted by Mecila and Cebrap, took place on February 2020.
