The topic of this international convention, organized by Constanze Spieß (University of Graz) and David Römer (University of Trier) is the conceptualization of populism in the public-political space and how it manifests linguistically in varying discourses, which linguistic strategies are typical for the manner of speaking of populist agents and not least, which goals of action are thereby being pursued. Apart from numerous lectures on this topic and other aspects, there will be a panel discussion with the title "Limits of Speakability?" consisting of members of the student body and representatives of economy and media, as well as the director of the KM–, Sandro Droschl. As curator of the exhibition "Hate Speech: Aggression and Intimacy", he will share his professional perspective on the limitations of speakability in texts and images and its possible shift in the public discourse, also addressing the role of the media and institutions.
