Abstract

The panel focuses on different discourses in post-war German speaking countries, making the emergence of historically and presently powerful forms of prejudice apparent, i.e. Islamophobia and anti-Semitism in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. It takes into account different types of discourses (mainstream media, new media, parliamentary debates, inner-institutional debates) as well as different time spans. Hence, right-wing populist and extremist instrumentalisation of minority issues are viewed with regard to their development in the course of the post-war period and in different discursive contexts, and therefore allows for an absorbing perspective of analysis.
