Kommentar
Equality and inequality are central to the inherent logics of democracy and capitalism. Equal political rights and legal rights and access to public goods on the one side, unequal economic incentives and interests within markets on the other side. For sure, there a different and contradicting logics with regard to (in-) equality in democracy and capitalism. Within the ideal concept of liberal democracy, both support each other and provide a strong balanced net of various interests within societies producing social cohesion with the state/government playing a crucial role in accommodating those two different dimensions.In this lecture series we will approach the concept of (in-) equality from different disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, particularly along the dimensions of race, class, gender and space. Topics might include (1) the development of economic and political inequality in the United States, (2) the idea and hollowing-out of the middle class, (3) processes of marginalization in the US political decision making process, (4) judicial and political challenges to the right to vote, (5) cultural consequences of living in an underrepresented community, (5) reparation for slavery and racial discrimination, (6) imaginations of equality and inequality, (7) intersectionality, (8) forms of structural racisms embedded in the institutions and the society and (9) spatial manifestations of inequality (international comparisons with Europe, China and interregional divergences). At the same time, we might pay attention to the analytical concepts employed within different disciplines and explicitly reflect the subjacent assumptions of these concepts. Schließen
