Das ist ein Gast für heute, das Gastkommentar,
möchte ich jetzt Hans-Herry Kolf nach vorne bitten.
Bis vor kurzem Professor am Journalismus-Institut der Universität Abos in Dänemark
. Und damit haben Sie vielleicht schon eine Idee,
weswegen ihr hier mit steht, weil er über zehn Jahre lang das Erasmus-Mundus-Programm,
das Irene hier in Hamburg mit dem geleitet hat,
das Konsortium insgesamt geleitet hat.
Deswegen freuen wir uns sehr, dass er heute hier ist.
Und er spricht über Aufklärung neue Finden.
Ja, eigentlich sollte ich diese Rede in Deutsches Bachel machen
Also, derjenige bin ich gar kein Nachbar und es gibt
ähnliche Storische und aktuelle Verbindungen zwischen uns. Aber weil ich eine große,
sehr große ins Reise für deutsche Kultur und Politik habe und
meine Bemerkungen heute mit der Arbeit, die Manuel Kant anfangen,
habe ich nicht die Sprachliche von Fertigkeiten,
die ich eigentlich brauche, um meine Analyse auf Deutsch klarzumachen.
So, ich bilde ich für ständig eigentlich in Englisch Fortsetzung.
Der Title I was given today Aufklärung neu erfinden
And Irane hat Ridden maybe, you could talk about three things.
In lightenment can't in populism. So it's time to talk
about this. I have the privilege of having been
retired for a year. I thought, why not?
Show. Yes, a long where your head of us.
But I would back in the look that
And everyone is been found of can't as much is I wouldn't still to him.
But in 70 84 here actually road, a relatively short
as say, on his on the standing of enlightenment.
And I'm in the code his definition in German.
And it's how jointest standing in English, it's how to
on the standing Germans hot on the standing you like to speak.
I would try. Aufklärung ist der Ausgang des Menschen aus
seiner selbstverschuldenden Unmündigkeit. Unmündigkeit ist das Unvermögen,
sich seine Verstandes ohne Leitung ein anderes zu bedienen
Actually can says that following the leader has been come
all more second nature to many.
People like following leaders. Some of these leaders,
and can says, othermselves in capable of any in lightenment.
I don't know, we was thinking up in 784 that
. I wouldn't say three things. One is,
I would give a sure current touristic of the challenge and populism.
What did looks like in my opinion?
And then I would be being a political science is,
I will look at two options,
what will happened going forward?
And finally,
I return to count
Not just in United States, but all around us, we see
populism probably up. In election, after in election,
in the check republic, in Austria. Few Days ago,
in Germany, a few monster go, the same type and
mässig find support, by a large group of population.
And lad me coal, the American Philacy for Donald Trump.
I don't have you remember where you were that 20th of General,
20th, 77, by dive will never forget, because I
was sitting it might cheer, watching in enorguration speech from Washington.
And I couldn't believe it. I thought it was
something that say it in I life,
had but on
But let me code a little bit,
because it's unfortunately something we need sake voice year issly.
And these I want Trumps that. Today say emony,
how ever has very special meaning,
because today when not mully trainsfering power from one administration to
another or from one party to and other,
but we're trainsferring power from motion to DC and giving it back to you,
the American people.
This is your day, this is your eceelebration.
And this United States of America is your country.
What truly matters is not which party controls our government,
but whether our government is control by the people.
Generate 2020s, 2020s, 2017,
we really remember this the day,
the people, became the rules is of this nation again
The forgotten man and women our country will be
forgotten no longer. Everyone is listening to you now.
We have seen, this is not Trump. We
have seen this in many places from Lipper,
the pen in friends to here in Germany with the AFD.
And when you read the AFD program, you know,
the sitten things, on of the things,
I say, one of the chapters is,
das Volk muss wieder zum souverän werden
We have these populists understandings of directive macrocies better than representational democracy,
we should all become these switzerlands, coming over or the time.
Democracy is giving people to the power, is it not?
Well, let's examinately loop it.
Oh, can actually I've populists mean for simple things.
First of all, it's a fin ideality.
It's not like fashions in montural territorian ism.
It's about kicking the establishment. It's very thing. Secondly,
it devides people into territory and elites
and vilifize one and mystifize see other
Result this poleorisation. The third care toistic is that the
populist and also is that we have launched to connection to the original Values.
Populist at Gender is andy modernity, it's answer
intellectualism, it's answer a press. Lügenpresse,
halt die Fresse, it was called in German.
And I have the inspiration from you rain,
I road one a my newspaper carloms on Lügenpreise.
And one of the comments that came back that people right
into the newspaper have to was was.
Is is typical here comes a professor,
a political scientist and he's part of the elite and now
we talks about that the line in press,
if they was a problem
So we have this and side, intellectual thism,
a long with the others. Finally, it's in a
side your it is often a line with nationalism.
And to EU and that globalization and type for another.
Where will happen now? We'll populism, become a
major force in our countrys. One other prospects. Let
me look, very quickly at two options. The first
option is that populism is a blip on the screen.
It's here today, it's going to more our we see
populism before in history, this one would also this appear.
Truggy for that, you could say that,
it is a thing ideology,
that doesn't really have much to after in terms of
big languages
It's get out of the EU, but then one.
It's get out of the nervter and then what.
It get out of the unescope and then one. Secondly,
populism this not build a political platform for supporters to follow.
A create polarization in create angry, but it doesn't really
build a moment. Thirdly. Trumps record in terms,
in first show fine terms appolity changes is,
as he would say, it's bad, very bad.
The experience for the pretty in Brexit underscores,
the point that the very create our populist movements make decision
making tificult
Randoms, like Switzerland is probably not going as all of the demokratic problem.
Finally, the really, really big problems, like the environment,
is not address, but like we just tood redecued.
So, we could argue that you will be
a passing phänomen and they will be going tomorrow.
But being a blue of science is that because I
have another option. There is an our turnity possibility.
That is the populism is here to stay.
In fact, it's a harbing our things to come.
We are the beginning of a nu political area,
a strump set, the 20s of genery,
this all change is right year and right now.
This is a new beginning
Ähm. And there's for arguments again for why,
we could say that this is something that we will not get
rid of quickly. Pakulism is not your something crazy Americans or
Amang Indian Hindus. It's all over. And it's growing
. Who would a thought that today in the likestage,
yeah, what 90, 4, 90, 3,
ähm, members that such to high to pop gerissen?
The second argument is that, populism fits,
the post industrial, at so my has the information society very,
very well.
And others have talk about this
Trump use of Twitter, Anti-E-U-Stories, Roomers,
About Emigrants in their crimes, Environmental Deniors,
everybody seens to have a big mega
film the thing and show down, try we body about.
Thirdly, he will do the minute succeed in Clemens and Governan position in many countries.
They do change the agenda. The German agenda with probably change.
Not maybe much pure has, but it will change.
And finally, there are are very popular, populist policies.
And to emigration with use the state, reeps,
remake the nation is repository of repository of legitimation,
in Finland, they have something which is
Eine Party, die wirklich illustriert ist, ist,
dass die Namen, die Kolumnself, die realen Finanzen sind.
Und das ist so, die Pädaminister, die sehr clear sind.
Und finally the biggest miscal the more this,
that populism elite authoritarian ism, a strong rich leader is call for.
Und so, we need to go back to can't.
What would can't say to all of this? Ore can't do
it point to the role of the scolor is to fight for reason,
to get with a guardians to educate those who want not thing more than someone thinking and deciding for them.
And here is the special ovigation, there we have all of us.
This especial opplication for the thinking journalist,
the real scolor and the engage intellectual
Dann machst du speak up. Environment can up,
be something that is a baiting point. Something we hack about.
Something fake news. Populism tacked these groups and this a problem.
But we need an elete. Our bagation is,
it can't also road and that they say to in
lighten's sappear out that you know.
And then we in coming back to why we were here today.
Professor Irene. You are shining example,
of somebody who there's to know,
who listens and engages and who does what can says it
we should all do.
Maybe you also a period
Vielen Dank. Bevor Irene ein letztes Wort erlauben,
glaube ich, möchte ich gerne Feuerwehrliegenteil nach vorne bitten.
Den dritten Professor bei uns im Fachgebiet,
der im Namen des Fachgebiets auch 9 ist. Ja,
kein verspäteter Festtreten an meine Damen und Herren,
liebe Gäste, sondern einfach jemand,
der am Schluss noch ganz kurz etwas aus Kollegensicht sagen möchte,
wir sind ja jetzt alle gut eingestimmt auf den Emotionsmodus.
Und entsprechend hier am Schluss sollen auch nur noch Emotionen eine Rolle spielen.
Und es sind natürlich sehr positive Emotionen und vor allen Dingen
Emotionen des Dankes, Dankes für eine sehr langjährige Zusammenarbeit.
Falls ich nichts überhört habe, ist ja in allen Ansprachen
noch gar nicht diese große Zeitspanne angesprochen worden.
Heute wird abgeschlossen mit einem schönen Festakt eine 25-jährige Tätigkeit für
die Universität Hamburg. Ich persönlich habe das wenigste davon mitbekommen,
aber ich bin natürlich
sehr dankbar
Wir wissen alle, dass Kommunikationswissenschaftler hocherfolgreiche Kommunikatoren sind,
vor allen Dingen mit ihren Studierenden. Wir wissen alle,
dass Journalisten hocherfolgreiche Kommunikatoren sind mit ihrem Publikum,
aber unter sich haben es Wissenschaftler,
haben es Journalisten ja manchmal schwer mit der zivilen Kommunikation.
Das haben wir auch hier in Hamburg erlebt,
aber das ist jetzt schon seit einigen Jahren ganz, ganz anders.
Wir sind sehr froh, auch voller Dank an unser Dekanat,
dass wir hier mit der Journalistik in Hamburg so klein wir sind,
in ruhigen Fahrwassern sind.
Und das hat natürlich ganz wesentlich mit Irene
zu tun
Wir alle, haben sehr lange und sehr gerne mit Irene zusammengearbeitet.
Sie ist wirklich eine Kommunikatorin, die auch Menschen unterschiedliche Ausrichtungen
zusammenführen kann. Sie bringt sich da sehr stark ein.
Und deswegen haben wir der Irene sehr viel zu danken.
Nicht zuletzt auch unsere Studierenden, die heute nur wegen Platzproblemen nicht hier sind.
Irene hätte sie gerne alle hier mit dabei gehabt.
Auch das ist sehr typisch für die Irene.
Und ich meine mal damit her, was rede ich,
solange sie alle kennen, die Irene sehr gut,
seit langen Jahren länger vielleicht als ich.
Und wir alle wissen, was wir an ihr haben.
Schön, dass sie heute hier ist,
dass sie alle hier sind.
Und ja,
wir wollen uns
ja noch bedanken
Und deswegen bin ich jetzt gar nicht so ganz vorbereitet.
Ich dachte, das kommt ganz am Schluss. Oh,
ich kann auch nochmal nach vorne kommen. Ja, ja.
Ich komme nochmal nach vorne und bereite das ein bisschen vor.
Und jetzt gehen wir erstmal der Irene, ist jetzt sicher.
Weil wir alle wollen uns noch zusammen bedanken bei ihr.
