This lecture explores how neoliberalism has eroded the liberal institutions of judgment, transforming the ways in which truth is produced and politically mobilised. As institutional mediation weakens, truth increasingly appears in moralised and quasi-theological forms of exposure, testimony, and conscience rather than through established procedures of institutional adjudication.
The talk examines the implications of this shift for contemporary politics and the future of liberalism.
Speaker
Dorit Geva, University of Vienna

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
