Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

«Tod den Linken» – Damon Taleghani über die iranische Diaspora
Q: Wie wirkt sich der aktuelle Konflikt im Iran auf die Diaspora in Deutschland konkret aus?
Die Diaspora reagiert sichtbar und feiert teilweise, während gleichzeitig viele Angehörige zu Hause bedroht sind; die politische Unterstützung der Bundesregierung hängt von der Situation ab, aber der Konflikt verstärkt auch die Polarisierung innerhalb der Exilgemeinschaft und beeinflusst die Perspektiven auf Regime-Change.
«Tod den Linken» – Damon Taleghani über die iranische Diaspora
Q: Willst du uns vielleicht einen Einblick geben in die Diaspora-Bewegung, die du dir genauer angeschaut hast?
Der Gast erläutert, dass die Diaspora eine differenzierte Landschaft aus linkem, nationalistischer und reformorientierter Politik darstellt; es gibt sowohl radikale Gruppen, die Transformationsforderungen stellen, als auch demokratische Stimmen, die eine friedliche Veränderung unterstützen, wobei Mediennetze und finanzielle Unterstützer eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Formung von Narrativen spielen.
Vom Aushalten des Krieges: Ein Gespräch mit Yevgenia Belorusets
Q: Wie nimmst du die Reaktion der ukrainischen Gesellschaft auf internationale Politik wahr?
Sie sieht eine stark fragmentierte Gesellschaft, in der Propaganda und Informationskrieg die öffentliche Debatte prägen, wodurch es schwer wird, eine einheitliche innere Position zu finden.
Vom Aushalten des Krieges: Ein Gespräch mit Yevgenia Belorusets
Q: Wie denkst du, wird dieser Krieg enden?
Sie betont, dass es zu früh ist, über Frieden zu sprechen, weil bisher keine Entscheidung für einen echten Frieden getroffen wurde, und dass jeder Friedensplan kritisch hinterfragt werden muss.
Language, Shame and Betrayal – Tash Aw in conversation
Q: Would you consider yourself an immigrant today?
Tash remarks that despite his success, he still identifies as an immigrant and recognizes the complexities involved in that experience.
