The buzzwords of recent years - “remigration” (2023) and “bio-German” (2024) - signal a social mood in which xenophobic “migration debates” as well as “old” and “new” anti-Semitism are shifting the discourse. The terrorist attacks in Hanau and Halle have revealed the potential for violence of such discourses and the inhumane dogmas associated with them in a frightening but not surprising way.
Gender-related, (hetero-)sexist, homo- and trans*phobic, but also homonationalist logics are linked to racist, anti-Semitic, colonial and migration-related violence. Firstly, however, it is clear that gender is often not systematically included in the associated fields of research. Secondly, although sexism, migration-related racism and anti-Semitism are regularly mentioned additively (for example in the form of demands to prevent them), they are rarely researched in relation to the concrete form of their connections, interdependencies and demarcations. In this context, the question therefore arises as to which forms of knowledge and practices make it possible to determine the relationships between these forms of domination and which can bring about change.
The CGColloquia in the summer term 2025 bring together approaches from gender studies, antisemitism, colonialism and critical migration and racism research, as well as perspectives from (urban) society that shed light on these very conditions. The aim is to open up spaces for academic reflection and discussion in a field that often leaves people speechless.
