Understanding Extreme Right Ideologies and Recognizing Radicalization
How do extreme right attitudes develop, why do ideologies of inequality seem attractive to some people, and how are societal prejudices politically instrumentalized? The online lecture on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, sheds light on central patterns, ways of arguing, and discursive strategies of the extreme right.
Social Differences as Political Tools
The focus is on ascribed characteristics such as origin or gender. Based on this, the extreme right constructs seemingly clear groups and places a supposed us against the so-called others. Devaluation, exclusion, and blaming serve as political tools.
Prejudices, Stereotypes, and Radicalization
The lecture shows how prejudices and stereotypes are picked up by extreme right actors and intensified in society. The transitions between everyday attitudes, ideological interpretations, and political radicalization become visible.
