Information and inspiration on getting married for a residence permit.

Germany is deporting people “on a grand scale” and neo-fascist deportation fantasies have become socially acceptable under the term “remigration.” At the same time, the legal channels for supporting migrants and refugees are being systematically narrowed. The rise of the (new) right seems unstoppable. This makes it all the more important to take responsibility for one another. So let’s talk about marriages of convenience! What is a marriage of convenience and how does it work? What hurdles and obstacles can be expected – and how can they be overcome?

Lecture in German language.

Lecture and discussion on Friday, October 10, at 7 p.m. at the Le Sabot bookstore (Breite Str. 76, 53111 Bonn).

The Hofgarten is the center of student life in Bonn, and beer is always a good way to meet new people. So whether you’ve been in Bonn for a while or just moved here, this is a great opportunity to stop by. So come to our flunkyball tournament at the Hofgarten on Tuesday (October 14) at 5 p.m.!

Whether as a caring mother, traditional housewife, or nationalist activist, right-wing extremist propaganda works with different images of women.

It deliberately or incidentally conveys ideals of femininity as part of a nationalist worldview or ideological notions of supposedly natural roles and divisions between men and women. Trans, inter, or non-binary genders only play a role in demarcation and evaluation. At the same time, these gender identities are portrayed as a supposed threat to their own ideological conception of roles and gender images. Pluralistic conceptions of society are rejected, as is gender equality.

The lecture focuses on the strategies of right-wing extremist activists and analyzes the various forms of representations of women through which discriminatory and inhuman attitudes are conveyed in online discourse.

The lecture will be in German language.

The world is going to the dogs. The contradictions of our social order are now so obvious that the long-practiced repression and ignorance are no longer an option for many people. Many are turning to authoritarianism.

But what might an emancipatory approach to the poor state of the world look like? An approach that goes beyond hackneyed class struggle rhetoric and dull activism?
How can we change the world instead of helplessly watching its decline?

Even if we certainly cannot answer these questions conclusively, we want to discuss them together and reflect on them in terms of our own lifestyles and political practices. The text “Der schlechte Zustand der Welt” (The Bad State of the World) by the Leipzig group alea will serve as a guide. We will read and discuss it together on site, so you don’t need to prepare anything.

We will meet on Thursday, October 16, at 6:30 p.m. in meeting room 1.038 at Rabinstraße 8.

Afterwards, we will go to a pub.

The text is in German language.

Totality describes the problem of whether and how it is even possible to understand society as a whole. With the “end of grand narratives,” this question seemed to have become superfluous. But in the midst of multiple crises, climate catastrophe, and the global rise of the right wing, the need to determine the context of the whole has returned. With criticism of capitalism, class analysis, and social theory, the repressed problem of totality also returns. Current theories attempt to fill the void of totality, but their definitions remain necessarily abstract—and thus part of the problem.

So is totality always a bad generalization, or does it actually exist? In his lecture, Alex Struwe explores this question and finds possibilities for a concrete definition of the overall context in Marx and the development of materialism up to Theodor W. Adorno. Understanding these theories also offers the chance to gain insight into the present. And without this, there can be no opposition to the prevailing conditions.

Alex Struwe is a social theorist and cultural critic. He studied political science and political theory in Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main, and the United States. As an editor for the humanities and social sciences and as a freelance author, he writes on issues of critical social theory, ideology criticism, authoritarianism, populism, and the rise of the right wing.

The event will take place in Seminar Room 9.

The lecture will be held in German language.

VomFrom the Juridicum, we will visit various locations in downtown Bonn that are connected to the Nazi era. Here, we want to educate, commemorate, and highlight anti-fascist perspectives.
Meeting point: Juridicum (Adenaueralle 24-42), “back side” on Lennestraße

The explanations will be in German, but we can provide an English translation.

Without a fatherland, mother party, or real wing, the List of Undogmatic Students (LUST) has been the critical and anti-fascist voice in Bonn’s university politics since 1980. Come to our group meeting to get to know us and discuss political issues at the university, in Bonn, and beyond.

At 7:30 p.m., there will first be a women’s plenary session (for all female-socialized or female-read persons). At 8:30 p.m., the regular introductory plenary session for everyone will begin.

Semi-education is the opposite of education and, despite all enlightenment, the prevailing form of contemporary consciousness. It is one with conformism, resentment, and stereotypical thinking. It is no coincidence that universities and the cultural sector proved to be a breeding ground for anti-Semitism after October 7, 2023. The anthology “Halbbildung” (Semi-Education) aims to shed light on these connections.

But how, then, can we understand education that is not merely intended to reproduce the status quo, but can go beyond it in a well-founded way? At a minimum, it would have to emphasize four central elements that were developed in classical German philosophy and critical theory: the reflexivity of consciousness (Fichte), the contradictory nature of the educational process (Hegel), self-reflection (Adorno), and anticipation (Heydorn). This is the subject of the book “Über das Gegebene hinaus” (Beyond the Given).

Both books, published by Verbrecher Verlag, complement each other thematically and will therefore be presented and discussed together at LeSabot on November 10. With authors and editors Sebastian Gräber, Thassilo Polcik, and Simon Helling.

The reading will be held in German language.
