Kabarettist und Autor Alfred Dorfer sorgte für eine bestens besuchte öffentliche Seminarstunde

Er war durch seinen "Donnerstalk" jahrelang für erschwertes Aufstehen an Freitagen verantwortlich, hat sich mit Filmen wie "Muttertag" oder "Indien" ins kollektive österreichische Kino-Gedächtnis gespielt und sorgt derzeit mit Kabarett-Kollegen Florian Scheuba mit dem Programm "Ballverlust" für volle Spielstätten: Alfred Dorfer motiviert ein breites Publikum regelmäßig, sich mit satirischem Humor auseinanderzusetzen.

Der promovierte Theaterwissenschafter und Germanist zog heute, am 31. Mai 2016, auch ein begeistertes universitäres Publikum in seinen Bann. Insgesamt versammelten sich rund 340 Studierende, Lehrende und WissenschafterInnen im randvollen Hörsaal 06.01, in dem Dorfer eine öffentliche Seminarstunde zum Verhältnis von Satire und Zensur abhielt. Diese fand im Rahmen des germanistischen Moduls "Literatur- und Theatersoziologie", geleitet von Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Beatrix Müller-Kampel und Univ.-Prof. Dr. Michael Walter, statt und wurde von der 7. fakultät veranstaltet. Dorfer, bereits zum dritten Mal als Gastlektor an der Uni Graz und selbst bereits Ziel von Zensurversuchen, beleuchtete mit Hilfe einiger Beispiele die Hintergründe und Effekte von Komikverboten.

Save, invest or guarantee: What Austrians expect from the state

Austria needs to make savings. But where? And what should the Republic actually be spending its money on?

Complying with the norm: Why Do Standards Shape Our Lives, Elisabeth Staudegger?

Standards determine whether a sheet of paper fits in a printer or whether a charging plug can power multiple devices. These standards shape our everyday lives. But who actually sets these standards? Where are the weaknesses, and how could science help to improve them? Elisabeth Staudegger, Head of the ‘Law and IT’ Department at the Institute for Legal Foundations at the University of Graz, host the Academic Standards Day on 16 June. Here she relays how sciences can contribute to the topic of standardisation and reveals her personal favourite standard.
