Veronika Kracher Reads Bitch Hunt: A Literary Evening on Digital Misogyny
On Friday, September 25, 2026, Veronika Kracher will come to the Digi Talk at Verschwörhaus Ulm. In her reading from Bitch Hunt. Why We Love to Hate Women, the author combines literary artistry with political analysis and social enlightenment. The evening focuses on digital misogyny, anti-feminist campaigns, and the question of how social media amplifies hatred against women.
When Language Becomes a Battleground for Social Conflicts
Veronika Kracher examines in her nonfiction book the mechanisms through which misogyny becomes visible, shareable, and profitable online. Her analysis ranges from public hate campaigns to digital communities, where misogyny functions as an ideology and as part of a right-wing culture war. The reading promises a focused insight into a work that intertwines political education, media criticism, and feminist social analysis.
An Author with a Deep Understanding of Digital Radicalization
Kracher studied sociology and literary studies in Frankfurt am Main and Mainz. Since 2015, she has been dealing with digital misogyny, antifeminism, online radicalization, and right-wing extremism. She became known for her book Incels. History, Language, and Ideology of an Online Cult, which was published in 2020 by Ventil Verlag. From 2021 to 2024, she worked at the Amadeu Antonio Foundation in the field of research and monitoring of misogynistic and right-wing extremist online communities.
Reading Atmosphere at Verschwörhaus
The Verschwörhaus offers an urban, discussion-oriented atmosphere that provides a suitable framework for this Digi Talk. The intimate event connects the immediate experience of a reading with the open character of a conversation. Anna Kalmbach will moderate. The focus is on the author's voice, the precision of her arguments, and the collective engagement with a topic that extends far beyond individual platforms.
Between Literature, Media Critique, and Political Education
Bitch Hunt approaches the phenomenon of hatred toward women not merely as an internet issue. Kracher questions the social conditions under which digital attacks gain reach, outrage captures attention, and social networks reproduce existing power structures. Thus, the reading opens a significant cultural discourse on language, public space, gender, and democratic responsibility.
Conclusion: A Literary Experience with Societal Urgency
Visitors can expect an intense encounter with the author, marked by analytical sharpness, linguistic clarity, and high relevance. Those who want to think together about digital culture, feminist literary criticism, and political education will experience an evening at the Verschwörhaus that lingers. Entry is free; doors open at 7:30 PM. Mark your calendars for the makeup date and experience the reading live.
