In the organizer's words:

tekst reading series: Lena Marbacher- "Arbeit Macht Missbrauch. A social critique" (Bremerhaven)

Abuse of power is not an isolated case, but a problem for society as a whole. We are all involved in it. In her social critique, journalist and author Lena Marbacher explores the question of how we can change this.

Abuse of power has nothing to do with gender or a specific industry. More and more cases are coming to public attention from all areas of society - be it politics, gastronomy, start-ups, sport, theater, care, voluntary work, the police or academia. So far, they have only been discussed on a sector-specific basis and usually as individual cases. According to Lena Marbacher, however, the problem lies in the system of work and society. The conditions that enable abuse of power are almost always the same. A tolerant environment is one of them.

Lena Marbacher relates a number of cases to each other and explains the structures of power abuse. Her aim is to show how the conditions in society and organizations lead to abusive behaviour and how they can be changed.

"Working relationships are power relationships - many people experience this painfully. Lena Marbacher shows us how power structures can be broken down if we have the courage to see, understand and change them." Bettina Kohlrausch
