The section creates meeting places for sociopolitical discourse, theoretical confrontation, debates on local political developments, and social movements.
The central aspect in the sociopolitical section is the book presentation series "Debating.Society" and the conference series "Konferenz für praktische Kritik". In Debating.Society a current book on acute or forgotten political topics is presented every month. Every year the conferences go through a critical examination of their large-scale political concept.
