I consider the AfD as a recent iteration of the ongoing project to redefine German democracy by keeping it aligned with enduring political and ethnocultural legacies. In this article, I discuss two approaches taken to this effect: the logics of "normal" and speech rights. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
