Der Marburger Soziologe Christoph Schwarz wird in seinem Vortrag die Frage nach männlicher Adoleszenz am Beispiel von IS-Propaganda stellen:

The Islamic State is the first jihadist organization to successfully recruit hundreds of German citizens, most of them young men. Apart from personal networks, online propaganda such as video statements and reports appear to be an important medium for this recruitment. The most salient German IS fighter in this regard is Denis Cuspert. Some years ago he had attempted a career as a gangsta rapper under the name Deso Dogg – a fact that he now employs as proof of authenticity in his propaganda videos, in order to testify against the decadence of Western society and to convey a story of finding the right way and straightening out.
My talk traces the tropes of manhood and male generativity in Cuspert's video performances before and after his joining IS, in order to analyze the masculinity constructions and generational narratives implicit in current IS propaganda material and to discuss their potential appeal to male adolescents in the German context

Der Vortrag und die anschließende Diskussion finden in deutscher Sprache statt.
