Ergebnis für "Rabelais" in Politik & Sozialwissenschaften

If François Rabelais were alive today, he would not be “problematic” — he would be impossible. His books would not be debated, contextualized, or gently criticized; they would be reported, flagged, algorithmically buried, and ceremoniously uninvited from public life. Rabelais laughed too loudly, ate too much, spoke too freely, and trusted the body more than moral panic. That alone would be unforgivable. Cancel culture, for all its modern vocabulary, is an old story.
