Dear Visitor 

FRESH OUT!

April 2025

As announced in Newsletter 10, new entries are out now!

KEYWORDS‍

• colonialism: this entry, collectively written by the students of the Class 5As of the High School ‘A. Volta’, Turin, Italy, discusses the notion of colonialism, focusing in particular on Italian colonialism and on how it has been long gone undercover in the Italian historical narrative of Italiani brava gente [Italians, good people].
  
  
• queer: by UDE queering collective. A historically charged and politically contested term, queer has evolved into both an identity and a statement of resistance. In German discourse, however, it remains polarizing—most notably when politicians like Alice Weidel and Jens Spahn, who could themselves be read as part of the queer community, reject the term to distance themselves from broader LGBTQIA+ activism.
