Culturitical presents: Kommt dazu, wenn wir mit der Kulturwissenschaftlerin Elisabeth Lechner über ihr Buch „Riot Don't Diet – Aufstand der widerspenstigen Körper“ sprechen

In the organizer's words:

"Riot Don't Diet - Aufstand der widerspenstigen Körper" is the latest book by Elisabeth Lechner. In it, the cultural scientist explores the question of what happens when bodies do not conform to social norms - when bodies are marginalized because they are supposedly too fat, too black, too old, too hairy, too disabled or too queer to fit in.
In addition to her work as an author, Elisabeth Lechner completed a doctorate at the University of Vienna, where she later also taught. She gives workshops on topics such as body shaming, lookism and other forms of discrimination. She also works as a science ambassador for the Austrian Exchange Service and explains body images and their political dimension on her Instagram channel @femsista.
In our talk, we will discuss her book, her work in science and how a beauty revolution can become possible.
