This lecture performance features the two members of Alphabet Collection (AC) Mohammad Salemy and Patrick Schabus will weave histories together to present a general theory about the rise of Islamism. In this lecture performance they will illustrate the role of right wing, liberal and leftist intellectuals from the postwar period until the present time, in confusing the popular and emancipatory aspects of political Islam with its more reactionary tendencies. The two artists will present contradicting but parallel presentations, and show how Islamism, in contrast with its image, is never reactionary, local or nativist and always modern, international and global. They show how the emergence of Islamism cannot be separated from its philosophical and geopolitical exchanges with Europe and ideological legacies of communism, fascism and liberalism.

10.01.1920 The Treaty of Versailles takes effect, officially ending World War I. Max Hantke and Mark Spoerer argued that the restriction of Germany to a small army saved it so much money it could afford the reparations payments. The British military historian Correlli Barnett stated that instead of weakening Germany, the treaty "much enhanced" German power. Detlev Peukert argued that it was the Great Depression and the turn to a nationalist policy of autarky within Germany at the same time that finished off the Weimar Republic, not the Treaty of Versailles.
