The design concept of Bauhaus advocates the function of simplifying, regression, and respecting the cross -cultural spirit.This is tantamount to the threat to "Germany's pure culture" for alternative selection of the party.
"If it is not Bauhaus, the world is not what you see in your eyes." - The copywriting of the British art critic Frank Whitford, which is sealed by the Bauhaus's book, summarizes the Bohito.Bauhaus (the meaning of German "building a house) has a profound impact on contemporary design and lifestyle.This school founded in Germany in 1919 has set off a wave of modernism in the world with the concept of minimalism, and has even become synonymous with the 20th century modern art design movement.However, Germany's extreme right -wing alternative selection party (AFD) has recently criticized Bauhaus's "cold" and "lack of humanity", accusing him of "standardization" style as "dilute regional characteristics, unfavorable cultural diversity", and even "will modernismLeading in the wrong direction. "
At the beginning of its establishment or today, Bauhaus represents a diverse values that transcend the national boundary.In the short 14 years of establishing a school history, the school moved three times because of the turbulence of the German political situation. Next year, it happened to be the 100th anniversary of it located in the DESSAU campus.Another choice party suddenly made a sudden difficulty at this moment, and submitting a motion to the German Parliament "Anti -Bauhaus" is not only a simple look at the history of art, but also a declaration of politicalization.The cultural pattern also reflects the differences in the current values of German society.
Walter Gropius, the founder of Bauhaus, knows the social responsibility of art.He founded Bauhaus during the period of the Weimar Republic after the First World War to achieve social progress through art and design.At the beginning, Bauhaus became a hotbed for progressive thoughts, as Randa Bittner, Dean of the Bauhalsha Foundation, said: "Bauhaus itself is a political body."It is also an institution that advocates social reform, and is committed to breaking the boundaries between art, architecture and design to achieve social progress as the core goal.These innovation spirit is not limited to the field of art, but with multiple and open cross -cultural exchanges as the basis of values.
However, with the Nazis in power in 1933, Bauhaus was forced to close because of its diverse values and Nazi exclusion.This history reminds people that it is a cultural experiment in the 20th century and a reflection of political reality.Right forces have always been good at opposing "local culture" and "multiculturalism" to cater to voters who are hostile to diversity and globalization.Another choice of the party's criticism of Bauhaus is to find the rationalization basis for the aesthetics for its extravagance and anti -globalization position. It is like repeating history and aiming to pull German culture back to a conservative framework.
The deeper reason is that Bauhaus's design concept advocates the function of simplifying, regression, and respecting the cross -cultural spirit.This is tantamount to the threat to "pure culture in Germany" for alternative selection of the party, and by critically criticizing Bauhaus, it covers the party's position against globalization and immigration.
Alternatively choosing the rise of the party is not accidental, but the concerns of society's concerns about multiculturalism and immigration issues.Since the European refugee wave in 2015, the other party has continuously used the fear of voters' fear of immigration, and described immigrants as the root cause of social problems in the name of "German Cultural Crisis".After the terrorist attacks in 2016, the alternative selection party even incited the people and successfully transformed fear and dissatisfaction into votes.
"The Said" is Nazi Propaganda Reversing
J? RG Meuthen, who was once an alternative party, not only used fear, but also used aggressive Nazi words.The "sheep said" he proposed can be said to be a copy of the Nazi propaganda.At that time, the Nazis encouraged the Germans to "do wolves without sheep" on the grounds of "guarding the blood of the German will" -Hedler nicknamed "wolf", and even named one of the military headquarters "wolf points".Morn's ignoring external threats in the western Germans metaphorized as "sleeping sheep", but it was only to reshape the logic of the "living space" of the Nazis that year, and regarded immigrants as the "invaders" of German culture.This kind of institutional talk is exactly the same as the rhetoric of the Nazi era, that is, in exchange for support for support.
Although the alternative selection of the party's presence is typical, the proposition of anti -immigrants is not exclusive to the right.Former German official Thilo Sarrazin, although from the left -wing Social Democratic Party (SPD), has written multiple best -selling works to attack the German government's immigration policy and environmental protection position.In the crisis of Germany, he pointed out that the Merkel government has developed a utopian -style refugee policy without consciousness, which is "the biggest mistake after the war in Germany".EssenceAlthough Salaxin's views are different from the alternative to the extreme conservative route of the party, it is also subtle to promote the social atmosphere of anti -immigrant and provide another "rational" basis for the latter's words on immigration issues.
The criticism of the other party not only reflects the right of German politics, but also reflects the potential crisis of the democratic system.What's more vigilant is that its strategy has penetrated the democratic system.They are no longer just the sound of marginalization, but gradually enter the mainstream of power, and use the mechanism of the democratic system to promote the extreme conservative agenda.This process reveals the crisis of contemporary democracy: using hatred, distorting democratic significance, turning hatred into a weapon of political mobilization, not only tore up German society, but also to subvert the diversified value foundation of the entire Europe and the world.
Is Bauhaus a lighthouse of modernism or the target of the cultural war?This attack on Bauhaus is obviously a strategic action of an alternative party to oppose multiculturalism and the spirit of freedom.Just as the political symbol of Bauhaus's political symbol of the Republic of Weimar, today's Bauhaus has once again become the target of extreme forces.What this "Bauhaus dispute" reflects is not only the choice of aesthetics, but the struggle of democracy itself.Facing the current era and insistence on Baohos's spirit, maybe it is the solution to respond to the current extreme politics.
