Looking Ahead

"Germany’s 9/11"? Neo-Nazis and Right-Wing Terrorism in Germany and Their Links to US Actors

September 15 | 4 - 5:30 p.m. PT | Register here<https://berkeley.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9f2c78af2d2d42ee2f6b16ecd&id=d6051b182f&e=83c8953c58>

Tanjev Schultz (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz) puts German right-wing terrorism into a broader context of developments of the far right, highlighting ties between neo-Nazis and far right movements in Germany and the US. In 2011, a right-wing terrorist cell named "NSU" was discovered in Germany. The NSU –"National Socialist Underground" – killed ten people and committed several other crimes. For more than 13 years, three neo-Nazi terrorists had been able to live undetected acting under false identity. This judgement shows the importance of the NSU case.

In the Mood for Nostalgia: Hong Kong's Colonial Legacy in Transition

September 16 | 10 a.m. PT | Register here<https://berkeley.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9f2c78af2d2d42ee2f6b16ecd&id=dca0704f74&e=83c8953c58>

Using examples from film (Wong Kar-Wai's In the Mood for Love, 2000), architecture (The Victoria Prison Compound, 2011-2018), and literature (Xu Xi's Dear Hong Kong. An Elegy for a City, 2017), Claudia Lillge (Freie Universitat Berlin) analyses the use of colonial imagery in the context of Hong Kong's pro-democracy and anti-government movement. This lecture will specifically focus on the discourse of postcolonial nostalgia and identity-seeking in modern Hong Kong culture, which has arisen in the aftermath of its British colonial past and its reunification with mainland China in 1997.
