Johannes von Moltke begins this lecture with a further exploration into how reading is used as a tool by the new right wing, specifically how Orwell's 1984 is turned from an anti-authoritarian text into a critique of the liberal left. #GeorgeLMosseLectures #UWMadison #UWHistory

Metapolitics lacks a physical center, living instead in globally networked digital world. However, von Moltke argues, if metapolitics had a physical form, it would be that of a university, as seen in efforts to reconquer the humanities and to push higher education towards the right. #mosselectures

Johannes von Moltke identifies “metapolitics” as a reactionary political concept, indexing a right-wing world view, no longer a neutral term. #GeorgeLMosseLectures #UWMadison #UWHistory
