Discussions of right-wing populist and extremist politics and activities tend to pay little attention to the historic continuity of far-right thought and action. The far-right milieu is often considered as something alien, standing apart from society and its fundamental political culture. This tendency was even more pronounced in the GDR, which derived its political legitimacy from anti-fascism. Yet recent electoral campaigns across Europe reveal ever more clearly that there is a considerable pool of votes from which far-right, nationalist parties may draw.

What can be considered as cultural heritage is the result of not only a multitude of negotiations by a broad spectrum of actors that affect self-understanding as well as positioning in the world, but also of changing sociopolitical orders. In reflecting on this perspective, this workshop focuses on the multifaceted history of the cultural heritage of Eastern Europe.

The International Workshop Rethinking Simmel on Culture, Modernity, and Alienation (6th and 7th June, 2022, Vienna – Buenos Aires) aims to revisit some of the core problems of Georg Simmel’s thought from hitherto underexplored perspectives. It inquires into aspects of legacy and timeliness, examines Simmel’s relationship to critical theory, and puts to the test the philosopher’s continued potential to tackle today’s pressing questions.
