“…Over the years, mass protests against the Hartz Laws gradually fizzled. While social scientists continue to warn of the creation of an underclass of long-term unemployed people and low-wage workers trapped in poverty (see Butterwegge, 2015, for a recent example), neoliberalism has been established as Germany’s new normal. In recent years, the primary umbrella organization opposed to the Hartz Laws (the union-sponsored Aufrecht Bestehen!…”

In this article, I apply Alain Badiou's theory of the event to make sense of the beliefs of an anti-sanction activist in Germany. Sanctions are deductions to unemployment benefits imposed by jobs counselors on their unemployed clients. Ethnographic research with Renate shows how her beliefs about the welfare state and her own personal life are examined by her as conditions for the abolition of sanctions in Germany, which is considered here as an event within Badiou’s ontological framework.

“…Wenn in Deutschland Hartz-IV-Empfänger/innen überproportional oft der Wahlurne fernbleiben, werden sie vom auf Wählerstimmen zielenden politischen Raum offenbar auch nicht mehr vertreten (vgl. Butterwegge 2015). Die Aussage der Leistungsempfänger/innen, man könne an der Regierungspolitik ohnehin nichts ändern, hat dann durchaus Hand und Fuß.…”

Zusammenfassung Der Artikel fragt, ob eine auf arbeitsorientierte Grundbildung ausgerichtete Forschung und Politik Felder ausschließt, die emanzipatorisches Potenzial für die Teilnehmenden haben und in denen es auch immer wieder verfehlt wird, gering gebildete, geringqualifizierte oder gering literalisierte Bevölkerungs-gruppen anzusprechen -die politische Grundbildung. Hierzu wird zunächst auf Gegenwartsanalysen zugegriffen, die eine Krise der Demokratie konstatieren und diese durch materielle Verteilung und ihre Legitimation erklären. Darauf aufbauend wird die Kritik einer Chancengleichheit rezipiert, die Verteilungsungleichheit legitimiere. Daraus resultiert die These einer "aufgekündigten Reziprozität", welche die Solidarität unterschiedlicher Gesellschaftsschichten 1 untergräbt. Dem werden Befunde auf Basis der PIAAC-Studie gegenübergestellt, mit der das Verhältnis von Literalität und politischer Wirksamkeit, sozialem Vertrauen und freiwilligem Engagement gezeigt werden kann. Die Ergebnisse werden mit den Freiwilligen-Surveys und ShellJugendstudien kontrastiert. Anschließend wird das Problem von Rechtspopulismus und politischer Wirksamkeit diskutiert, um das Vorurteil, Marginalisierung determiniere rechtspopulistische Gesinnungen, zu differenzieren.Schlüsselwörter Politische Bildung · Politische Grundbildung · PIAAC · Literalität · Gesellschaft der Gleichen Basic citizenship educationAbstract The article focuses the question whether workforce literacy strategies in research and policies may tend to exclude relevant fields of literacy, which have emancipatory chances for participants, but which regularly fail in including low A.

“…This may lead to another association because to have rats on or near one's property may not simply be annoying but also may depreciate its value; while, on one side of the city, luxurious residential areas are constructed where, behind high walls, the 'super-rich' fortify their mansions with private security companies, on the other side, Hartz IV beneficiaries are concentrated in what are euphemistically known as 'social hotspots' or 'deprived areas'. 55 This may trigger another association. For some power elites, Hartz IV recipients exist only as an image portrayed in the media, but they have never met a single one, just as they have never met a real rat.…”

“…the introduction of 1-Euro-Jobs, and boils down to a refeudalization of the world of work through the liberalization of employment protections and subcontracted labour. 44 This inequitable effect of the legislative package in favour of some groups at the expense of those whom the package theoretically was proclaimed to assist may manifest in a more clear-cut manner when one looks at it through a metaphor.…”

The question of how meaning serves to sustain dominance has been part of the programme of a critique of ideology from the outset. If ideology makes the meaning of the social world and its interpretations decontested, a main task of the critique of ideology is to show their contestability. I would like to reconsider the value of metaphor within this programme and claim that metaphors are noteworthy devices for the critique of ideology due to their ability to undermine ideological incontestability: by calling into question its consistency, by exploring other possible interpretations and by enriching its univocal character, that is, through evoking a new way of seeing social reality, metaphors manage to disclose the contestability of the social world and its interpretations.
