An evening about political language, struggles for interpretation, and literary precision
Gerhard Hanloser comes to the Universum Film Theater Braunschweig with a reading and a lecture. At the center is his 2026 book published by Mandelbaum, Left Antisemitism? - On the Critique of a Fighting Term, a contribution to the current debate about antisemitism, left critique, and political terminology.
A topic that transcends the moment
Hanloser works in a field where language is never merely descriptive. His lecture explores how terms become fighting terms, how political camps differentiate themselves, and how historical experience influences contemporary debates. This is where the literary quality of the evening lies: He combines analysis, argument, and linguistic sharpening into an intense author encounter.
Reading atmosphere at the Universum Film Theater
The Universum Film Theater is one of the defining cultural spots in Braunschweig. As a program cinema with a developed audience and a central location, it provides a framework that is particularly suitable for lectures and literary events. The reading atmosphere is expected to be close, focused, and discursive - ideal for an audience that not only listens but also thinks along.
What the event is about
Hanloser is a sociologist, historian, and Germanist. His work operates at the intersection of critical theory, left debates, and antisemitism research. A mere excerpt from the book is not expected, but rather a pointed lecture followed by discussion. This makes the evening a literary-political event that makes theory understandable and keeps cultural discourse alive.
Location, time, and framework
The event takes place on June 15, 2026, from 19:00 to 21:00 at the Universum Film Theater at Neue Straße 8 in Braunschweig. Admission costs 8.00 euros. According to the event information, a discussion with the audience is planned afterwards. The venue is centrally located and easily accessible by public transportation.
Conclusion: An evening for readers with a political sense
Those interested in political literature, diagnostic essays, and well-founded debates will experience a substantive evening here. Gerhard Hanloser does not provide a simple sharpening but an analytical look at a highly contested term. This is intellectually demanding, culturally relevant, and particularly compelling live.
