The paper focuses on people from Salzburg, Austria, who, despite the increasing turbulence in society, consider democracy to be a particularly estimable anthropological and societal concept. They perceive the human capacity for change as a valuable potential, intervene publicly in undemocratic happenings in their cultural and social environment by performative means, express criticism – usually from below, directed towards those above – and make alternative suggestions for action between the Arts&Humanities.
