The article focuses on the temporal and epistemic economy connected to the transatlantic travels of the categorical triad of 'race-class-gender'. It looks at conditions and forces that have fuelled the dynamics of the discourse on differences and inequality among women and analyses feminist discourse and its aporias as a particular environment for the travels of theories. Furthermore, it follows the changes the triad of 'race-class-gender' undergoes on its transatlantic route from the United States to a German-speaking context and it outlines the theoretical challenges connected to an intersectional perspective that aims to overcome a theoretical stagnation that itself finds symptomatic expression in the ritual citing of 'race-class-gender'.

Personelle und kulturelle Vielfalt ist in einem Unternehmen gerade in Zeiten von zunehmendem Veränderungsdruck eine besondere Ressource. Ein Unternehmen, das sich auf Diversity - eben diese Vielfalt der Mitarbeitenden - einlässt, hat bessere Chancen, flexible Handlungsstrategien und Innovationen zu entwickeln. Ralf Lange beschreibt anhand praktischer Beispiele die Bedeutung von Gender-Kompetenz und Diversity in Change-Prozessen. Er zeigt damit, dass die Förderung von Geschlechtergleichheit und Diversity nicht nur eine politische und moralische Frage ist, sondern auch aus betriebswirtschaftlichen Gründen im Eigeninteresse von Unternehmen liegt.

AbstractThis article asks: what are the factors that encourage and enable, or require and force, some fathers to reduce employment and stay home with children? It draws upon a conceptual model which examines how 'gender cultures' and 'gender systems' shape 'gender arrangements' of work and family life. The article uses evidence from oral history interviews conducted with men who were stay‐at‐home fathers in late‐twentieth‐century Australia. It concludes that when Australian families negotiated decisions about who would stay home with young children, economic forces were usually more influential than gender ideals. Yet the oral history accounts also show what fathers, and their families, could gain when men took on a shared and central role in the care of their children.

Gender and violence intersected in ancient Egypt in many ways. In general, the ancient Egyptian gender system privileged men and the masculine. Exceptions to this were status dependent. Gendered patterns of violence are evident in cases of mistreatment of women through beating and rape. War-related royal texts used gendered language to frame enemies as feminine and place them lower on the hierarchy vis-à-vis the pharaoh. Enemies were also feminized in visual representations such as temple reliefs. The symbolic violence of gendered language also served to establish indigenous gender hierarchies. Although there is evidence that some Egyptian queens and female rulers organized military operations, there is no evidence for the participation of women in war. In contrast, some goddesses had a strong affiliation with war and violence and were frequently associated with the pharaoh in this regard.

Humans are social beings who live in groups and form an order of social life such as building a country. One of the ways that the government takes to realize the welfare of its people is through development. With development, the right to welfare for the whole community can be achieved. The concept of welfare in development is not seen as the same thing. Every society in this world has a different level of wealth. This is because they do not only take into account gender differences, but also all vulnerable groups. Basically, development is held for improvement. This means the desire to grow based on individual or group strengths depends on the situation and condition of human labor and social structure. When viewed from the development process to date, there are still many disadvantages for vulnerable groups who also participate in economic growth in the community. Gender perspective is very important in determining policies that will be implemented for the development to the process and results, especially laws which do not regulate detrimental losses to vulnerable groups. This shows that women and other vulnerable groups should receive special attention in the development because they are at a higher risk of physical and non-physical violence.
