Franziska Saxler reads from her work ‘Er hat dich noch nicht mal angefasst’ (He didn't even touch you) – a text that tackles the subject of psychological violence with fearlessness and surprising optimism. It deals with boundary violations and the long-lasting effects of the invisible. Saxler recounts experiences that are often trivialised or overlooked. Her text is not merely an indictment, but a multi-layered look at power, powerlessness and the arduous struggle for self-assertion. Particularly in a university context, the reading asks how institutional power structures, hierarchies and relationships of dependency (e.g. in supervisory and employment relationships) make boundary violations more likely – and what universities can do to strengthen protection, transparency and responsiveness. The reading offers more than literature: it creates a space for exchange, reflection and quiet anger – as well as for hope and inner strength. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to discuss the topic with the author.
Please note: The event may touch on sensitive topics (including psychological/sexual violence).
Franziska Saxler is a psychologist, author of ‘Er hat dich noch nicht mal angefasst’ (He didn't even touch you) (Ullstein) and a doctoral candidate at the University of Bern with a dissertation on harassment in the workplace. Her initiative, metooscience, deals with sexism and harassment in an academic context.
