Abstract: | Racism, misogyny, and the propagation of politicomilitary violence are analyzed as an integral part of the construction of Western modernity. With a focus on German public culture, the author emphasizes the interplay of gender and race against the background of medical models, documenting how fears of natural disasters (women, Jews, refugees) and medical pathologies such as dirt and infection (bodily infestations) are continuously recycled to reinforce a racialist postmodern culture. |
