The Future of Foreign Policy Is Feminist
As old white men continue to dominate the national and international stages, the needs of women and minorities are constantly ignored. International politics are shaped by a ruthless competition for advantage, and the world is full of conflicts, crises and wars. Things have to change. Activist and political scientist Kristina Lunz is on a mission to do just that. In her work from New York to Bogotá, from Germany to Myanmar, she became aware of a stubborn unwillingness to think past the status quo and to embrace new, innovative voices from marginalized groups. She also saw that the tradition of feminist activism combined brilliantly with diplomacy: both require grim tenacity, boundless creat...

We matter
Nel saggio l’autrice ci mostra come il razzismo si interseca ogni giorno con tantissime varianti discriminatorie presenti nella vita di tutti, e ci invita ad espandere la nostra consapevolezza di come le condizioni che consideriamo «normali» siano in realtà il frutto di un’evoluzione storica.La maggioranza delle persone rifiuta l’oppressione, la disuguaglianza e la discriminazione. Per molti uomini e persone bianche, etero e non disabili, è però più facile rimanere in silenzio che sfidare attivamente i sistemi che li hanno costruiti come superiori, o anche semplicemente accorgersi che godono di un costante privilegio. Ma secondo Emilia Roig per cambiare lo stato delle cose al di ...
Revisualising Intersectionality
Revisualising Intersectionality offers transdisciplinary interrogations of the supposed visual evidentiality of categories of human similarity and difference. This open-access book incorporates insights from social and cognitive science as well as psychology and philosophy to explain how we visually perceive physical differences and how cognition is fallible, processual, and dependent on who is looking in a specific context. Revisualising Intersectionality also puts into conversation visual culture studies and artistic research with approaches such as gender, queer, and trans studies as well as postcolonial and decolonial theory to complicate simplified notions of identity politics and cultural representation. The book proposes a revision of intersectionality research to challenge the predominance of categories of visible difference such as race and gender as analytical lenses.
Research Handbook on Feminist Engagement with International Law
For almost 30 years, scholars and advocates have been exploring the interaction and potential between the rights and well-being of women and the promise of international law. This collection posits that the next frontier for international law is increasing its relevance, beneficence and impact for women in the developing world, and to deal with a much wider range of issues through a feminist lens.
Shy Radicals
Drawing together communiqus, covert interviews and underground histories of introvert struggles (Introfada), here for the first time is a detailed documentation of the political demands of shy people. Radicalized against the imperial domination of globalized PR projectionism, extrovert poise and loudness, the Shy Radicals are a vanguard movement intent on trans-rupting the extrovert-supremacist politics and assertiveness culture of the 21st-century. The movement aims to establish an independent homelandAspergistan, a utopian state for introverted people, run according to Shyria Law and underpinned by Pan-Shyist ideology, protecting the rights of the oppressed quiet and shy people. This anti-systemic manifesto, a quiet and thoughtful polemic, is a satire that uses anti-colonial theory to build a critique of dominant culture and the rising tide of Islamophobia. Shy Radicals author Hamja Ahsan (b. 1981) is an artist, curator and activist based in London. He is the Free Talha Ahsan campaign organizer.
Jura not alone
Mit Recht wird Politik gemacht. Mit Gesetzen und Urteilen werden gesellschaftliche Hierarchien befestigt, werden Menschen beherrscht. Aber Recht ist zugleich auch ein Mittel zur Befreiung von Herrschaft, zur Emanzipation für Minderheiten, die sich damit gegenüber einer Mehrheit behaupten. Es ist ein Instrument, mit dem sich auch für Verbesserungen kämpfen lässt – wenn man weiß wie. Die Juraprofessorin Nora Markard und der Jurist und Journalist Ronen Steinke zeigen anhand von Beispielen aus zwölf zentralen Rechtsgebieten, wie Veränderungen mit den Mitteln des Rechts gemeinsam erkämpft werden können – vom Klimaschutz über die Geschlechterverhältnisse bis hin zu den Menschenrech...
Die Abschaffung der Ehe. Eine kritische Betrachtung anhand der Theorie nach Emilia Roig
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2023 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Beziehungen und Familie, Note: 1,3, Fachhochschule Dortmund, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten haben feministische Kämpfe dazu beigetragen, dass Frauen heute wählen dürfen (seit 1918), arbeiten und ein Bankkonto eröffnen dürfen ohne die Erlaubnis ihrer Ehemänner (1977 und 1958), nicht mehr in der Ehe vergewaltigt werden dürfen (15. Mai 1997), sich scheiden lassen dürfen (1977). Die Unterlegenheit der Frau ist nicht mehr so explizit im Recht verankert, jedoch wirkt das Patriarchat laut Emilia Roig nicht nur durch Gesetze und lässt sich nicht so einfach abschwächen. Die patriarchale Unterdrückung wi...
Mobilizing Black Germany
In the 1980s and 1990s, Black German women began to play significant roles in challenging the discrimination in their own nation and abroad. Their grassroots organizing, writings, and political and cultural activities nurtured innovative traditions, ideas, and practices. These strategies facilitated new, often radical bonds between people from disparate backgrounds across the Black Diaspora. Tiffany N. Florvil examines the role of queer and straight women in shaping the contours of the modern Black German movement as part of the Black internationalist opposition to racial and gender oppression. Florvil shows the multifaceted contributions of women to movement making, including Audre Lorde’...
