Jeder Ort, jeder Körper steht in Verbindung zu anderen und wird erst in diesem Gefüge von Relationen zu sich selbst. Entsprechend entwirft dieser Band weitere Fluchtlinien im Doing Space while Doing Gender. In einem ersten Buchteil stellen Beiträge zentrale Begriffe wie »Exposure«, »Medialität« und »Transsektionalität« vor. Ein zweiter Buchteil versammelt Studien - etwa zum Heiratsmarkt Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts, zu queeren Körpern in New York, der Lyrik Gloria Fuertes' oder zu Männlichkeit im Strukturwandel des Berliner Nahverkehrs.Durch die inhaltliche Vernetzung der Beiträge ist der Band auch als Handbuch nutzbar - er lädt zur Diskussion ein und zeigt an vielen Stellen, dass Dynamiken von Raum und Geschlecht nicht zuletzt politische Fragen der Gegenwart betreffen

This article offers a distinctive mapping of the feminist literature on globalization. Part I sets the "new wave" of debate in the context of long-standing feminist theorizing & organization around global power & politics, drawing attention to a growing focus on economic processes. Part II explores the marginalization of feminist arguments within globalization studies, pointing to the dominance of an economistic model of globalization as a key factor. It also identifies a parallel feminist tendency to neglect non-feminist efforts to develop non-economistic analyses of globalization. Part III seeks to pinpoint the originality of the contribution of feminism. Although the most obvious starting point for such an evaluation is an emphasis on gender, the feminist contribution is not reducible to this. Feminists have integrated gender analyses into accounts of multiple, intersecting relations of global power. They also offer distinctive analyses of the relation between the local & the global & the character of agency & resistance. The article indicates that the feminist response to economism still remains incomplete. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that feminist insights pose a significant challenge to non-feminist accounts of globalization & to those organizing within & against global power relations.

This open access book seeks to understand how politics is being made in a pluralistic sense, and explores how these political struggles are challenging and transforming gender, sexuality, and colonial norms. As researchers located in Sweden, a nation often cited as one of the most gender-equal and LGBTQ-tolerant nations, the contributions investigate political processes, decolonial struggles, and events beyond, nearby, and in between organizations, states, and national territories. The collection represents a variety of disciplines, and different theoretical conceptualizations of politics, feminist theory, and postcolonial and queer studies. Students and researchers with an interest of queer studies, gender studies, critical whiteness studies, and civil society studies will find this book an invaluable resource.

New Institutionalism has shown that the 'rules of the game' are crucial to structuring political life in terms of constraining and enabling political actors and influencing political outcomes. A limitation of this approach, however, has been its overemphasis on formal rules, with much less attention paid to how informal rules work alongside and in conjunction with formal institutions to shape actors and outcomes. This article contributes to an emerging literature that highlights the importance of informal institutions by bringing into focus one element that has been hidden in these debates – the influence of gender norms and practices on the operation and interaction between formal and informal institutions. It highlights some of the key benefits of a gender analysis for understanding political institutions in both their formal and informal guise and considers some of the challenges in building a research agenda that requires new methods and techniques of inquiry.

The brutal rape of a young woman on a bus in Delhi in 2012 lit a spark of outrage across the world. Young women marched in protest, urging recognition of the rights of women and greater gender equality. This book emerges in response to the young woman's subsequent death and the protests which followed. The contributors have come together to present a detailed analysis of the position of women in South Asia, the issue of violence and the long struggle for gender equality. They analyze violence in a number of countries and examine the courage and bravery of the many women who are fighting for justice.

Der Krieg in Bosnien-Herzegowina (1992-1995) gilt als ein Krieg, bei dem die systematischen Vergewaltigungen von Frauen als politische Strategie eingesetzt wurden. Dies blieb nicht ohne mediales Echo. Im Mittelpunkt des Bandes steht daher die Analyse von künstlerischen Werken, die sich nach dem Krieg mit den weiblichen Überlebensstrategien unter diesen Umständen beschäftigen. Ergänzt werden die Aufsätze mit überblicksartigen Beiträgen zur Geschichte des Bosnienkrieges und den Einfluss der Medien sowie mit exemplarischen Beiträgen über die Rolle der Frauen in Deutschland und Polen um die Zeit des Zweiten Weltkrieges.

Welche Rolle spielt die Kategorie Gender für die Konstitution von Comic und Film?Véronique Sina geht dieser Frage anhand ausgewählter Comic- und Filmbeispiele wie Frank Millers »Sin City«, Enki Bilals »Immortel (ad vitam)« oder Matthew Vaughns »Kick-Ass« nach. Auf Basis einer detailreichen, vergleichenden Analyse beider Medien entwickelt sie das Konzept des performativen Comicfilms und verdeutlicht dabei gleichzeitig, wie sich Comic, Film und Gender wechselseitig generieren und produktiv aufeinander einwirken. Mit dieser Fokussierung auf die reziproke Beziehung der Performativität von Gender sowie der Medialität des Performativen leistet die Studie einen wichtigen Beitrag zu den Gender-Media Studies.
