Feminisms in Movement
Feminist organizing and theorizing from the Americas have provided some of the most innovative, visible, and all-encompassing spaces of resistance against sexism and sexualised violence, misogyny, racism, homo- and transphobia, coloniality, extractivism, climate change, and neoliberal capitalist exploitation. Current feminist movements address different axes of oppression and thereby represent, practice, and theorize a truly »intersectional« politics. The contributors bring together a wide variety of perspectives, ranging from Black and decolonial feminist voices, LGBTQI/queer perspectives to ecofeminist approaches and indigenous women's mobilizations to inspire future feminist practices and inform social and cohabitation projects.
Feminisms in Movement
Feminist movements from the Americas provide some of the most innovative, visible, and all-encompassing forms of organizing and resistance. With their diverse backgrounds, these movements address sexism, sexualized violence, misogyny, racism, homo- and transphobia, coloniality, extractivism, climate crisis, and neoliberal capitalist exploitation as well as the interrelations of these systems. Fighting interlocking axes of oppression, feminists from the Americas represent, practice, and theorize a truly »intersectional« politics. Feminisms in Movement: Theories and Practices from the Americas brings together a wide variety of perspectives and formats, spanning from the realms of arts and activism to academia. Black and decolonial feminist voices and queer/cuir perspectives, ecofeminist approaches and indigenous women's mobilizations inspire future feminist practices and inform social and cohabitation projects. With contributions from Rita Laura Segato, Mara Viveros Vigoya, Yuderkys Espinosa-Miñoso, and interviews with Anielle Franco (Brazilian activist and minister) and with the Chilean feminist collective LASTESIS.
Five Hundred Years of LGBTQIA+ History in Western Nicaragua
This groundbreaking book reframes five hundred years of western Nicaraguan history by giving gender and sexuality the attention they deserve. Victoria González-Rivera decenters nationalist narratives of triumphant mestizaje and argues that western Nicaragua’s LGBTQIA+ history is a profoundly Indigenous one. In this expansive history, González-Rivera documents connections between Indigeneity, local commerce, and femininity (cis and trans), demonstrating the long history of LGBTQIA+ Nicaraguans. She sheds light on historical events, such as Andres Caballero’s 1536 burning at the stake for sodomy. González-Rivera discusses how elite efforts after independence to “modernize” open-air markets led to increased surveillance of LGBTQIA+ working-class individuals. She also examines the 1960s and the Somoza dictatorship, when another wave of persecution emerged, targeting working-class gay men and trans women, leading to a more stringent anti-sodomy law. The centuries prior to the post-1990 political movement for greater LGBTQIA+ rights demonstrate that, far from being marginal, LGBTQIA+ Nicaraguans have been active in every area of society for hundreds of years.
¿Puede el feminismo vencer al populismo?
Recientemente, candidatos de la extrema derecha como Donald Trump en EE.UU. y Jair Bolsonaro en Brasil fueron elegidos sin tener en cuenta los escándalos que habían causado con sus comentarios abiertamente sexistas y racistas. Asimismo, al éxito electoral de ambos presidentes se opusieron amplias protestas feministas interseccinales. Así pues, el ensayo persigue un doble objetivo: en primer lugar, examinar la lógica y la función del género para el populismo (de derechas) con el fin de re-evaluar el fenómeno y ampliar las teorías hacia formas más complejas de descripciones y análisis. En segundo lugar el ensayo esboza los espacios y las prácticas de resistencia que también se bas...
Hip Hop y Genero
Was ist Hip Hop? Eine Kunstform? Eine Subkultur? Eine globale soziale Bewegung? Woher kommt Hip Hop? Und wie laesst sich Sexismus im Hip Hop bekaempfen? Gemeinsam mit RapperInnen aus den Amerikas und Europa wird diesen Fragen nachgegangen und aufgezeigt wie Hip Hop Raeume schaffen kann, die Diversitaet zulassen und wertschaetzen. Die Doppelmappe stellt den Versuch dar in einer international zusammengesetzten Arbeitsgruppe Globales Lernen von und fuer unterschiedliche Kontexte zu denken. Die spanischsprachigen Materialien sind sowohl für den Einsatz im Spanischunterricht (Sek II) als auch im außerschulischen politischen Bildungsbereich in den Amerikas geeignet.
Right-Wing Populism and Gender
While research in right-wing populism has recently been blossoming, a systematic study of the intersection of right-wing populism and gender is still missing, even though gender issues are ubiquitous in discourses of the radical right ranging from »ethnosexism« against immigrants, to »anti-genderism.« This volume shows that the intersectionality of gender, race and class is constitutional for radical right discourse. From different European perspectives, the contributions investigate the ways in which gender is used as a meta-language, strategic tool and »affective bridge« for ordering and hierarchizing political objectives in the discourse of the diverse actors of the »right-wing complex.«
Hip Hop und Gender
Die deutschsprachige Version der Doppelmappe zu Hip Hop und Gender eignet sich fuer den Einsatz in der Schule als auch im außerschulischen politischen Bildungsbereich. Gleichzeitig lassen sich große Teile auch im DaF-Unterricht einsetzen. Die Bildungsmaterialien fragen danach, wie Hip Hop als Kunstform, als Subkultur und soziale Bewegung Raeume schaffen kann, die Diversitaet zulassen und wertschaetzen. Dabei wird ein feministischer Bildungsansatz verfolgt, der auf eine Auseinandersetzung mit Sexismus und eine Sichtbarmachung von Diskriminierungsprozessen, Unterdrückung und sexualisierter Gewalt abzielt.
Marx's Others
While there recently has been renewed interest in Marx, we cannot simply apply his nearly 200-year-old texts to today's world. Capitalism, after all, has not only taken on new shapes, in the context of the climate crisis, mass incarceration, and global migration; it has also intensified its exploitation of racialised and feminised workers, while finding new ways of co-opting them. Across the disciplinary boundaries of philosophy, literary and cultural studies, this volume revives Marx's rich conceptual apparatus to shed light on his Black, feminist, trans and queer »others« in order to understand race and gender as part of the capitalist totality, and to strike more fundamentally at the heart of contemporary capitalism.
Feminism, Interrupted
Plastered over t-shirts and tote bags, the word 'feminist' has entered the mainstream and is fast becoming a popular slogan for our generation. But feminism isn't a commodity up for purchase; it's a weapon for fighting against injustice. This revolutionary book reclaims feminism from consumerism through exploring state violence against women, reproductive justice, transmisogyny, sex work, gendered Islamophobia and much more, showing that the struggle for gendered liberation is a struggle for justice, one that can transform the world for everyone.
The Zapatista "Social Netwar" in Mexico
The information revolution is leading to the rise of network forms of organization in which small, previously isolated groups can communicate, link up, and conduct coordinated joint actions as never before. This in turn is leading to a new mode of conflict--netwar--in which the protagonists depend on using network forms of organization, doctrine, strategy, and technology. Many actors across the spectrum of conflict--from terrorists, guerrillas, and criminals who pose security threats, to social activists who may not--are developing netwar designs and capabilities. The Zapatista movement in Mexico is a seminal case of this. In January 1994, a guerrilla-like insurgency in Chiapas by the Zapati...
