The Life and Times of
Hugo Marcus – Book Talk by Marc Baer
From now on you can watch a book
talk by Marc David Baer on his latest monograph "German, Jew,
Muslim, Gay. The Life and Times of Hugo Marcus" (Columbia University
Press 2020) on ZMO's YouTube channel. Join us on 19 October 2020, 5
pm, for a Q&A session with the author!
Hugo Marcus (1880–1966) was a man of many names and many identities. Baer
uses Marcus’s life and work to shed new light on a striking range of
subjects, including German Jewish history and anti-Semitism, Islam in
Europe, Muslim-Jewish relations, and the history of the gay rights
struggle.

Transnational network of ‘opinion
makers’: Turkey’s Responses to Islamophobia in Europe and the US
Lecture by Sinem
Adar (Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik, Berlin) as part of the ZMO Colloquium "Understanding Populism: State, Academia,
and Civil Society"
Since the end of the Cold War,
political discourses within and across nations have been increasingly
shaped by identity claims. In Western liberal democracies, especially
after 9/11, opposition to Islam has become central to populist discourses
seeking to define who does and does not belong to the imagined nation.
While many studies have sought to analyze such
discourses and their identitarian logic, the
responses from states outside of Europe and the US have surprisingly
attracted scant attention. Against this background, this talk will focus
on Turkey’s AKP government’s practices of combatting Islamophobia in
Western societies over the past decade...
