Myths Power”, coordinated and supervised by Michael Benaglio, is about a constructive-critical approach to “myths” and their differentiated reception in historical and contemporary references. The power and influence of myths – from general-social to its regional aspects – will be brought to the stage, presented and reflected in multiple ways – scientifically as well as artistically.
The historian Eduard Gugenberger, assisted by Roman Schweidlenka, will begin on October 2023 with a lecture on the reception of old myths by political currents – with special reference to National Socialism, world conspiracy theories and the novel “The Enchantment” by Herman Bloch.
