What exactly was better in the past? -An optimistic tantrum, Berlin 2019

Old white man can no longer listen to the complaints of old grumps who rave about the good old days to the thumblers of the present. After all, born in 1930, he lived through it himself and knows where things were bad, smelly and dishonest back then. In a series of pointed, linguistically brilliant anecdotes, Michel Serres is outraged by the omnipresent forgetfulness and postulates that everything is better today. In times of resurgent populism, this should invite discussion.

In discussion:

Prof. Dr. Christine Pflüger (Didactics of History)

Prof. Dr. Jörg Requate (History of Western Europe)

Prof. Dr. Franziska Sick (Romance Literary Studies)

Prof. Dr. Jan Witthaus (Romance Literary Studies)
