In his recent book Antifa: Portrait einer linksradikalen Bewegung, Richard Rohrmoser traces the historical development of the multifaceted anti-fascist movement from its beginnings in the 1920s until now. He outlines the tensions between civic engagement, protest culture, and radical violence that it finds itself in today. It seems more important than ever to take a closer look at these issues in times of political polarization in the Netherlands and everywhere else in Europe.
After the presentation, Hanno Balz will discuss the history and current significance of antifascist activism in Germany and beyond.
SPUI25 is the academic-cultural podium of Amsterdam. Since 2007, we have been giving scientists, authors, artists and other thinkers the opportunity to shine a light on issues that occupy, inspire or concern them. In cooperation with a large number of academic and cultural partners, we organize between 250 and 300 freely accessible programs per year. These are enriching, often interdisciplinary programs that move between science and culture, fact and fiction.
SPUI25 is one of the UvA podia in the University Quarter.
