This article proposes Erich Fromm's understanding of >radical humanism< (1968a) and its line of argumentation towards >global solidarity< (Wilde 2013) instead of national >group narcissism< (Fromm 1964a) as a normative base to evaluate the emancipatory value of emerging narratives.}, language = {en} } @article{Voigt, author = {Voigt, Katrin}, title = {Es reicht uns nicht, es fehlt etwas: Authentizit{\"a}tsstreben in westlich-kapitalistischen Gesellschaften der Gegenwart}, series = {T.

While current research often focuses on the extreme forms of nationalism, the work of Erich Fromm contributes to an understanding of nationalism that encompasses the whole society in a world structured by nation states. The notion of a social unconscious helps to reflect upon both visible and often unnoticed forms of nationalism and links it to an interconnected understanding of psychic and social structure. With Fromm we can understand nationalism as collective narcissism which has been preceded by a loss of self-esteem. Relevant threats to self-esteem in Western democratic societies shaped by a neoliberal ideology, like individualisation and singularisation, will be outlined in the article.}, language = {en} } @misc{Voigt, author = {Voigt, Katrin}, title = {Nationalismus der Mitte in Deutschland.
