What is a “narrative”? Lena Frischlich guest in “RISE” podcast

As the term “narrative” appears to have found its place in the (media) mainstream, it is time to ask what narratives actually are, how they work and how they can be used – also by extremists during the corona crisis. Lena Frischlich joins the RISE podcast and explains the background as well as the wider implications of narratives in the context of extremism and propaganda.

RISE is a project of the JFF Institute for Media Pedagogy that develops learning material on Islamist content for young people. Two key aspects of the project are the support of young moviemakers who produce content on extremist positions from a youth perspective as well as the production of material for professionals working in media pedagogy.
