»RECHT BRECHEN«

In the organizer's words:

SAMIRA AKBARIAN, FRIEDEMANN KARIG, SAMIRA EL OUASSIL

Disproportionate? Anti-constitutional? Or even criminal? The current manifestations of civil disobedience are controversial. But we need means of participation, we need to find ways to be heard.

Occupied government buildings, blocked highways, "climate stickers" and "farmers' protests": Instead of the actual issues, the protests themselves are increasingly being argued about. Which forms of protest are legitimate? Which ones are even necessary to demand political action? And what does all this have to do with the principle of democracy?

In her award-winning book "Recht brechen" (C. H. Beck), legal scholar and author Samira Akbarian (Goethe University Frankfurt a. M.) explains what happens on the barricades - in a legally precise and enormously insightful way. Breaking the law, she shows, is not unlawful per se, on the contrary: protest can serve the realization of democratic ideals.

Together with journalist Samira El Ouassil and author Friedemann Karig (both of whom co-host the "pirate radio station Powerplay", one of Germany's most important political and social podcasts), she takes a look behind the headlines: Where does our society stand? Where does it want to go? And why do we need protest?
