Change of culture in the United States: Trump's seizure of power and the new patriarchy

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - on February 10, 2025 at 10.30 p.m. in ORF 2 The “Cultural Monday” by Clarissa Stadler will take a look at the cultural change in the USA, which was shaped by the re -election of Donald Trump. According to the reporting of ots of Salzburg's Bernhard Wenger, "Pfau - am I real?", Imagine that will soon come to cinemas. The film focuses on the modern masculinity in the context of a society in which the patriarchy gains influence again, while at the same time the voices of angry, disoriented young men and Latinos represent a big plus for Trump.

Bernhard Wenger's film debut

Wenger, who according to Close-up culture already won over 70 international awards, has "Pfau?" Created a snappy social satire that is inspired by a trend that he observed on a trip to Japan. The film shows how modern "men" can be booked as friends or companions, and thus deals intensively with the fragility of the male self -image today. The leading actor Albrecht Schuch brings this complex translation of social norms to the screen and shows how easy it is to fall into the trap of expectations and stereotypes.

In addition, the "cultural monument" is also devoted to the work of Lebanese artist Ali Cherri, who exhibits in the Vienna Secession. Cherri shows in his fragile sculptures and work the vulnerable stories of colonialism and the resulting cultural values. The chosen art form not only reflects the brutal experiences of his homeland, but also the hope of change through imagination and cultural processing.
