Movie series „Property in view"

About the movie

The film Barbie was the most-viewed movie in Germany in 2023 and one of the most successful worldwide. By traveling to the real world, Barbie and Ken make the everyday structures of patriarchy visible in a humorous way; structures that, as we will see, always have to do with property.

Introduction by Irina Herb, sociologist at the University of Jena in the field of political sociology, and Abibi Stewart, philosopher at the Free University of Berlin.

About our series

Once a month during the semester, our series brings the debate on property issues to the big screen. We show a filmic treatment of conflicts over property, current dynamics of change and possible alternatives. A member of our Collaborative Research Center will give a brief introduction to the film at the beginning of the evening and shed light on the connections between the film and our property research. The film will be followed by a discussion with anyone from the audience who is interested. The films are usually shown in the original language with subtitles.
