On Thursday, 1 February, a series of lectures on the topic of "The construction of the Jew" will take place at Paderborn University from 2 pm to 6 pm. The event will use a linguistic perspective to show how anti-Semitic stereotypes - from the past to the present - are constructed and maintained linguistically. It will also illustrate how prejudices and resentments can be spread and perpetuated as a result. Anyone interested is cordially invited to attend the event in lecture theatre H5. Registration is not necessary.
The Paderborn academics Prof. Dr Britt-Marie Schuster and Dr Andrea Graumann, who organised the event, will talk about linguistic approaches to anti-Semitism and the continuity and change of anti-Semitic stereotypes. PD Dr Sören Stumpf from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich will speak on the topic of "Anti-Semitic conspiracy theories in the past and present". The event will conclude with a presentation by the winners of the "Jugend forscht" competition 2023 Arthur Achilles and Simon Rulle on the topic of "Tracking down hate speech: Project Eagle - real-time analysis of anti-Semitic conspiracy myths online."
