  The cover story of the third issue focuses on Karl Marx and Richard Wagner together. Based on the three discourses "anti-Semitism", "alienation" and "revolution", it examines the extent to which the ideologies of these two "German thinkers" can be related to each other - and the extent to which they are specifically German reactions to modernity and capitalism.

  Starting from an outstanding, but also controversial object in the Permanent Exhibition of the Deutsches Historisches Museum – the Stone Cross of Cape Cross – the first issue of the magazine is devoted to the topic of “colonial objects and historical justice” and also contains, among other things, articles on the theory of democracy, on the relation between anti-Semitism and economy, and on the difference between historiography and narrative.
