The project focuses on the perception of the South African system of apartheid by West German and Western European societies and the way apartheid was dealt with between 1948 and 1994, with special emphasis on the period from the 1960s to the 1980s.The topic of „apartheid“ is particularily suited to do research on a) the negotiation of the self-concept of Western European societies in relation to questions of ethnicity and racism as current problems; b) the rise of the discourse on human rights in the cold war; c) the role of the debate on apartheid in the development of a „moral economy“, a global media society, and the growing interpersonal confrontation with global conflicts.The focus will be on questions of communication history: How did West German and Western European societies - the general public, the political establishment, institutions such as churches and unions, new social movements - react to the apartheid in South Africa? What social conflicts are revealed in these reactions? To what extent did personal encounters in Europe or South Africa change the perspective of Western Europeans involved? To what extent were in these debates questions asked and strategies developed that became relevant for the range of values of „postindustrial“ societies?

该项目的重点是西德和西欧社会对南非种族隔离制度的看法以及1948年至1994年期间处理种族隔离的方式，特别强调从20世纪60年代到80年代的时期。“种族隔离”的主题特别适合于研究a）自我谈判，西欧社会对族裔和种族主义问题作为当前问题的概念; B）冷战期间人权问题的讨论兴起;（c）关于种族隔离的辩论在发展"道德经济”、全球媒体社会中的作用，以及全球冲突中日益增长的人际对抗。重点将放在传播史的问题上：西德和西欧社会--公众、政治机构、教会和工会等机构、新的社会运动--如何对南非的种族隔离做出反应？这些反应中透露出什么样的社会矛盾？在欧洲或南非的个人遭遇在多大程度上改变了西欧人的观点？在这些辩论中，提出的问题和制定的战略在多大程度上与“后工业”社会的价值观有关？
