Abstract
Abstract The mode of irreconcilability was a structural problem of the Weimar Republic. The violent experience of the First World War had intensified the emergence of new patterns of perception which appeared to be almost obsessively related to the body. This development was accompanied by an upswing of visualization opportunities. Using the example of leading Weimar politicians, it can be demonstrated how sensory mobilization could represent gateways for anti-democratic agitation. These practices could destabilize the republic by reviling its representatives by visualization. The early Nazi press expanded the arsenal of sensory mobilization. The destabilization of the moral, political, and aesthetic order worked through a clear radicalization and dynamization of traditional revilement strategies down to the local level.
