Tolerance of ambi­guity and anti­semitism

Part of the Lecture Series Where Does the Truth Lie? On Tolerance of Ambi­guity (in German)

Prof. Ilka Quideau (Frankfurt Uni­versity of Applied Sciences) examines the role of ac­cusations of anti­semitism in current public debate, taking a psycho­analytical perspective. What is negotiated when you accuse people of being anti­semitic? What is left out? What is the point of the accusation?

Using the example of documenta fifteen and the antisemitic incidents in many German cities after the Hamas massacre on 7 October 2023, Quindeau highlights the complex dynamics of the debate, relating them to the concept of the tolerance of ambiguity.
