Dr. Sophie G. Einwächter: Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit - Formen und Konsequenzen im Forschungsalltag
Dr. Sophie G. Einwächter: Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit - Formen und Konsequenzen im Forschungsalltag
July 11, 2024 @ 19:30 - 22:30 HERBRAND's ehrenfeld
Während in der Pandemie Angriffe auf Virolog*innen besorgniserregende Dimensionen annahmen, werden mittlerweile auch Bedrohungen von Meteorolog*innen gemeldet, welche eine Dringlichkeit des Handelns im Kontext der globalen Erwärmung betonen. Wofür muss die Wissenschaft also gerüstet sein, wenn sie der Herausforderung des Klimawandels zukünftig gewachsen sein will?
Der Vortrag untersucht, welche negativen Konsequenzen es mit sich bringen kann, wenn Wissenschaftler*innen sich in die Öffentlichkeit begeben, und inwiefern Formen der Feindlichkeit auch in andere Bereiche des wissenschaftlichen Alltags, wie z. B. Forschung und Lehre Einzug gehalten haben. Er fasst Analysen zum Thema aus medien- und kulturwissenschaftlicher Sicht zusammen und nennt Vorstufen, Aspekte und Ausprägungen von Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit, die sich in einem Spannungsfeld von ökonomischen Interessen, Wissenschaftsskeptizismus, Antiintellektualismus sowie Antiakademismus zusammenfinden und medial mit bedingt werden.
Dr. Sophie G. Einwächter ist Leiterin des DFG-Projekts „Medienwissenschaftliche Formate und Praktiken im Kontext sozialer und digitaler Vernetzung“ an der Philipps-Universität Marburg. Sie befasst sich neben Wissenschaftskultur mit Fankulturen und ist Ko-Herausgeberin von "Demokratie gegen Menschenfeindlichkeit" (Wochenschau Verlag).

SITP Online: 2000 mules and one big lie: A stubborn conspiracy theory

In May 2022, conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza released 2000 Mules, a film which attempts to show that the 2020 US election was stolen by Democrats, and to provide a mechanism by which this took place – a coordinated effort to ‘harvest’ ballots and distribute them around ballot drop boxes in battleground states using paid ‘mules’. The film is based largely on assumptions, anomaly hunting, assertions without evidence and previously debunked claims. Where evidence is presented it has frequently been misinterpreted or taken out of context, or simply doesn’t support the conclusions the filmmakers claim. This talk provides a brief window into Jim’s obsession with debunking the film’s fractal wrongness.
Jim Cliff is an author, video editor, and former BBFC examiner who’s always been fascinated in why people believe crazy things. He’s the producer and host of the podcast Fallacious Trump, where he and other host Mark explain logical fallacies using examples from Trump, pop culture and British politics. If he gets his arse in gear, his latest book, 2000 Mules and One Big Lie, will be released at the beginning of September.
