Johannes von Moltke wrapped up his final lecture in this year’s George L. Mosse lecture series. Thank you to everyone who attended, and to Johannes von Moltke for his excellent series of talks! #GeorgeLMosseLectures #UWMadison #UWHistoryDept

Turning to texts published in the wake of WWII, von Moltke explores the ways in which these older texts can provide a basis from which to understand today’s metapolitics, with the 1930s radio hosts analyzed of then as the popular podcasters of today. #GeorgeLMosseLectures #UWMadison #UWHistoryDept

Johannes von Moltke opens his final lecture with an analysis of new right podcasts, and the ways in which they connect with their listeners, with purposeful shaping of everything from guests to ads to intros as they utilize metapolitical methods. #GeorgeLMosseLectures #UWMadison #UWHistoryDept

Thanks to Brandon Bloch for introducing Johannes von Moltke’s third and final lecture, “Podcasters of Deceit: Genealogies of Agitation and the Critical Theory of ‘Metapolitics’” of this year’s George L. Mosse lecture series. #GeorgeLMosseLectures #UWMadison #UWHistory

Johannes von Moltke highlights the ways in which the new right alters and uses progressive terms to promote right wing ideas, such as using the language of racism to attack diversity initiatives. #GeorgeLMosseLectures #UWMadison #UWHistory

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
