	Democracy - A Fragile Way of Life	Tue, 15.06.2021	Lecture	Shalini Randeria Till van Rahden	Democracy - A Fragile Way of Life Tue, 15.06.2021 Speakers: Shalini Randeria Till van Rahden Series: Lecture After the Cold War ended, liberal democracy was taken for granted. Now it is in crisis: citizens distrust parliamentary politics, the people’s parties are losing members and votes, and social media are crowding out public debates. Challenging the sense of despair that informs recent studies on how democracy dies, Till van Rahden argued that it might prove more useful to explore what keeps it alive. A fruitful point of departure is the insight that democracy is not only a matter of elections and political parties, constitutions and parliaments, but is grounded in democratic experiences. The attention is less on how democratic government works, but on what equality, freedom, and justice feel like. A focus on democratic forms and aesthetics allows us to revisit the cultural and social foundations of democracy. No matter how stable a democracy may seem, it will wither and perish without ways of life that allow for and encourage democratic experiences. Read more

Unlike in the early 20th century democracy today is neither endangered by dictators or by military coup d’état. We are witnessing instead a growing erosion of democracy and its legitimacy from the inside. The title the IWM publication expresses this new threat succinctly Wenn Demokratien demokratisch untergehen (When Democracies are dismantled democratically).

Sun, 14.03.2021 Speakers: Shalini RanderiaKatharina T. Paul, Barbara Prainsack, Ursula Wiedermann-Schmidt Series: Panels and Discussions „Niemand ist sicher, bevor wir alle sicher sind“, warnen internationale Organisationen vor dem allerorts aufgekommenen Impfnationalismus. Denn mit den nun verfügbaren Covid-Impfstoffen stellen sich neue drängende Fragen: Wer bestimmt, welche Länder und Bevölkerungsgruppen überhaupt Zugang zu einem Impfstoff erhalten? Brauchen wir eine globale Impfstrategie, um den Wettlauf gegen die Ausbreitung von Mutationen zu gewinnen? Welche Lehren können wir aus früheren Pandemien und der Geschichte von Impfungen ziehen?

	Does Capitalism Erode Democracy?	Tue, 03.12.2019	Lecture	Shalini RanderiaEva Illouz	Does Capitalism Erode Democracy? Tue, 03.12.2019 Speakers: Shalini RanderiaEva Illouz Series: Lecture “Does Capitalism erode Democracy?” Die israelische Soziologin Eva Illouz, die mit ihren Büchern über die Liebe im Konsumkapitalismus berühmt wurde, im Vortrag und Gespräch mit Johannes Kaup. In ihren Büchern “Warum Liebe wehtut” und “Warum Liebe endet” zeigt Eva Illouz, wie durch Selbstoptimierung, Kommerzialisierung des Intimlebens und digitale Kommunikation das Gefühlsleben zutiefst verunsichert wird. In ihrem neuesten Buch “Das Glücksdiktat und wie es unser Leben beherrscht” kritisiert die Soziologin die boomende kapitalistische Glücksindustrie, die uns weismachen will, dass wir nur dann glücklich sein können, wenn wir unsere negativen Gefühle blockieren und uns selbst optimieren. Im Anschluß an ihren Vortrag spricht Johannes Kaup mit Eva Illouz darüber, welche Faktoren zur Entfremdung zwischen Individuum, Gesellschaft und der Politik führen und welche Rolle dabei die neoliberal-kapitalistische Ideologie spielt, aber auch welche Möglichkeiten der Resilienz und des Widerstands es angesichts dieser Entwicklungen gibt.

But it also characterized by the presence of innumerable international and nongovernmental organizations, as well as armed forces from many countries. Adopting mobility as an analytical key, and mindful of the significance of analysing processes and phenomena across scales, Alessandro Monsutti presented a global though intimate ethnography of Afghanistan based on my new book that offers a decentered perspective on the contemporary world.
