Antifa: Portrait of a Radical Left-Wing Movement in Germany

The Antifa-movement polarizes. For some, it makes an important contribution to the fight against right-wing extremism, while for others it jeopardizes the state’s monopoly on the use of force and thus makes it a threat to democracy from the left. What are the key characteristics of this influential radical left-wing movement, and how did it evolve over time?

The Price of War: European Defense and the Military-Industrial Complex

Europe is ramping up its defenses, with discussions about militarization, strategic autonomy, and NATO targets becoming commonplace in political, mediatic, and public discourses. The perceived existential threats from Russia and doubts about the reliability of the United States appear to be driving this push toward rearmament. But how deeply are counterarguments being considered? And what are the real costs and for whom?

Fashion and Power – Who’s In, Who’s Out, and Who Decides?

Fashion, as both an industry and a field of study, actively operates through systems of exclusion for marginalized communities, gender-nonconforming individuals, indigenous makers, disabled bodies, and others who do not align within the margins. Legitimacy over knowledge is often granted through institutions that uphold Eurocentric, capitalist, and colonial frameworks which leaves us to question “Who’s In, Who’s Out, and Who Decides?”

The Center Cannot Hold: A Case for Left Populism?

It has become redundant to say that the Left is in crisis. The electoral decline of traditional left-wing parties across Western democracies, fueled by the defection of their historical voter base to the populist Right, paints a bleak picture for progressive politics. The old anchors are slipping, and the Left, long the bearer of emancipatory promises, finds itself disoriented. If the far Right thrives by mobilizing populist rhetoric, could a left variant offer a viable alternative? And if so, what are the costs?

(In)Visible Journalists. Confronting Epistemic Injustices in Conflict Reporting 

Traditional ‘neutral’ and ‘objective’ journalism has long been regarded as the gold standard of reliable reporting within conflict settings. But who gets to be perceived as neutral and objective? Who holds the power to tell the stories? And which stories get told? During this programme, SPUI25 in Spe explores the politics of journalistic visibility. Whose voices are centred, and whose are sidelined?

The Birth of the Gender Clinic: One Hundred Years of Gender-affirming Medicine

One hundred years ago, a peculiar institute opened its doors in Berlin; the “Institut für Sexualwissenschaft” (Institute for Sexual Science). First of its kind, this place sought to research and help a range of people who could be characterized as “gender outlaws”. These people, who using the language of today we would call gay, queer, intersex, or trans, found refuge, community, and access to healthcare. Surgical services were, for the first time, offered to people to affirm their gender identity.

Expect These Symptoms: Delusional FemTech

Your menstruation app is telling you not to panic about being pregnant while your body is telling you otherwise. At the same time, your neighbour might be falsely worrying about a predictive algorithm telling them they have decreased rates of fertility. SPUI25 explores the state of FemTech software and asks whether we should be using these apps, or not.

Who do we swipe right for and why?

Summer of Algorithmic Love

Are we approaching a summer of algorithmic love? Developments in romantic matchmaking are being fueled by the mundane practice of swiping upon potential partners on dating apps. These apps appear to feed us recommendations of possible lovers, but we are going to dive a level deeper and ask how these recommendations actually interact with our romantic and sexual preferences.
