A committed plea for a politics that discusses facts rather than instrumentalizing emotions. From the series "Maintaining Unrest" in cooperation with the Academy Graz, the Literature House Graz, and DIE PRESSE. With intellectual precision and radicality, Olga Flor takes a stand against the populist sentiment that currently likes to present itself as the representation of the perceived majority opinion of a vaguely defined body of people. This "politics of emotion" exploits legitimate fears instead of analyzing their real causes. The increasing complexity of the economy and the growing density of information serve as fertile ground for it, while simplified blame and "gut feelings" constitute its ideological capital. In contrast, Olga Flor emphasizes the necessity of a public discourse that allows for dissent and does not shy away from the complexity of the facts.
