@dirkmoses @daniel_dsj2110 The end of the West & the Wild West?

Habermas and now Norris.

@AhmedMoor @AnnelleSheline @hahauenstein Nice job

I spoke with @hahauenstein and about two dozen people to learn about why Germany is so hostile to Palestinian life, and wrote about it here: ahmedmoor.substack.com/p/germany-and-…

@stephanhallmann Bartov used to reason like this himself

Beeindruckend, in welcher Klarheit der israelisch-amerikanische Holocaust-Forscher Omer Bartov mit dem exaltiert-naiven Influencer spricht.

My department in Bologna invites applications for visiting fellowships of 1-2 months in sept-dec 2026, for historians and scholars working on history and memory. Deadline 31 March 2026. More info via link centri.unibo.it/memorylab/en/v…

@im_PULSE 😅

When George W. Bush passes, the obit writers will claim "He championed freedom"; "He extolled liberty". Habermas supported a genocide; he was also "invigorated" by Israel's mobilisation during the '82 Lebanon invasion. All that pales in comparison to the dullnes of his writings

This is what genocide scholar @dirkmoses calls a crime of "permanent security." Ethnic cleansing in the name of "security."

For the first week of the month, Aeon is welcoming essay pitches. Here's the link to the pitch portal: aeon.co/pitch

Last month, we published Marcelo Marques' new article, "Universal Jurisdiction over Genocide and the Making of Transnational Justice (1961–2025): Prosecutions and a Tiered Typology of Institutional Designs." You can find it here (open access): doi.org/10.1080/146235…

The special issue of New German Critique on "German Memory Politics at a Crossroads" I co-edited is now out! My long introductory essay, "The Perils of Negative Exceptionalism: German Memory Culture from Model to McCarthyism," is available open access: read.dukeupress.edu/new-german-cri…

@rbromer @tazgezwitscher FAZ refused to publish article they solicited from me for ideological reasons so I see what you are saying. Taz riddled with ultra-Deutsche as you note. But also has some excellent journalists and occasionally fine columns by @chawichawi. Clearly there’s an authoritarian drift .

@dirkmoses Indeed; but still, I’m finding it hard to relate to German mainstream media - another example being @tazgezwitscher , giving ample space to ultra German writers and, just occasionally, publishing articles that are not in flagrant violation of the constitution

Surprisingly good discussion of essays on #Gaza and Germany by me and Omar Bartov in this newspaper thanks to a fine historian, Rene Schlott. faz.net/aktuell/wissen…

@rbromer Hence “surprisingly”

@dirkmoses How would you judge a paper that (rarely) publishes sensible stuff and (frequently) racist diatribes? "Balanced"...?? faz.net/aktuell/feuill…

What is the link between concepts and collective memories? @TaylorBorowetz & Felix Berenskötter demonstrate how they co-constitute each other in the political process of meaning-making, examining the Haitian Revolution and the Holocaust. Out in Vol. 53👇 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
