Situation
This transdisciplinary research project will investigate New-Left and New-Right counter-media from the 1960s to the 1980s in German-speaking Switzerland and the Federal Republic of Germany by interlocking historical and design-historical perspectives. This project aims to understand how the counter-media of these movements produce counter-knowledge and create counter-publics, and also intends to furnish insights into the significance of texts and images in the production of counter-knowledge.
