Rewriting Identities in Contemporary Germany
Essays on and interviews with minoritized writers of contemporary Germany, mostly women or non-binary, whose literary interventions write radical diversity into the dominant culture and challenge fixed frames of identity. In Germany today, an increasing number of minoritized authors - many of them women, nonbinary, or other marginalized genders - are staging literary interventions that foreground the long-standing complexity and radical diversity of German identities. They are reconceiving, redefining, and rewriting understandings of "Germanness" by centering previously marginalized perspectives and challenging fixed frames of nationality, ethnicity, language, gender, sexuality, and even tim...
Continental Philosophy in Feminist Perspective
"We translate what American women write, they never translate our texts," wrote Helene Cixous almost two decades ago. Her complaint about the unavailability of French feminist writing in English has long since been rectified, but the situation for feminist writing by German-speaking philosophers remains today what it was then. This pioneering collection takes a giant step forward to overcoming this handicap, revealing the full richness and variety of feminist critique ongoing in this linguistic community. The essays offer fresh readings of thinkers from the Enlightenment to the present, including those often discussed by feminists everywhere--such as Freud, Habermas, Hegel, Kant, and Rousseau--as well as some less subjected to feminist critique such as Benjamin and Weininger. In their Introduction the editors provide the context for understanding both how these essays fit into the larger picture of developing feminist theory and what makes their contribution in some ways distinctive.
Making German Jewish Literature Anew
In Making German Jewish Literature Anew, Katja Garloff traces the emergence of a new Jewish literature in Germany and Austria from 1990 to the present. The rise of new generations of authors who identify as both German and Jewish, and who often sustain additional affiliations with places such as France, Russia, or Israel, affords a unique opportunity to analyze the foundational moments of diasporic literature. Making German Jewish Literature Anew is structured around a series of founding gestures: performing authorship, remaking memory, and claiming places. Garloff contends that these founding gestures are literary strategies that reestablish the very possibility of a German Jewish literatur...
Reading Literature and Theory at the Intersections of Queer and Class
Reading Literature and Theory at the Intersections of Queer and Class focuses on the crossover of queer and class, examining a range of texts across languages and genres and spanning nearly a century. This collection of chapters considers the intersection of queer and class in relation to literary aesthetics, a locus in which the interaction between sexuality and class is rendered with lucidity. Each chapter puts forward class and its manifestations as central to queer analysis of literary and cultural texts in historical and contemporary contexts. The readings adopt Kimberlé Crenshaw’s intersectional paradigm by pointing to its activist as well as literary precedents and elaborations. Th...
Brücken Bauen in Einem Vielgestaltigen Europa
Building bridges has been and still is the main task of the European Society of Women in Theological Research (ESWTR). It aims to facilitate theological and academic religious debate transcending the borders between languages and countries, as well as those resulting from religions, confessions, cultures or traditions, in order to offer constructive future perspectives. This volume has now adopted "building bridges" as its main theme. It reflects the contributions to the 11th International Conference of ESWTR held in 2005 in the unique historical and cultural setting of Budapest. European women in the lead of theological research discuss the subject on the basis of their different specialist approaches and thus provide a unique spectrum of contemporary discourse from very varied disciplines in theology and religious studies.
Desintegration
Die zweite Ausgabe von Jalta hat den Themenschwerpunkt Desintegration. Unter dem Begriff Desintegration können unterschiedliche künstlerisch-ästhetische Strategien zusammengefasst werden, die die tradierten Repräsentationen jüdischer Positionen unterlaufen und transformieren. In dieser Hinsicht meint Desintegration Haltungen, die eine Differenz zur eingespielten jüdischen Opferrolle erzeugen und somit den Blick weiten für die Vielfalt neuer künstlerischer und gesellschaftlicher Perspektiven sowie vorhandener marginalisierter Narrative, die diese Opferrolle aushöhlen – wie etwa Rache, Wut, Ironie, Selbstermächtigung. Die Ausgabe versammelt wissenschaftliche, essayistische, künstl...
Kausalität der Gewalt
Kausalität ist das Aufeinanderfolgen von Zuständen nach Regeln, so hat es Kant einmal definiert. Damit sind auch zwei Kernfragen jeder gesellschaftskritischen Forschung vorbestimmt: Wodurch wird Gewalt verursacht? Und was bewirkt sie? Anhand konkreter Beispiele beleuchten die Beiträge in diesem Band, wie und wo nach kausalen Zusammenhängen der Gewalt geforscht werden kann und wie sich Erkenntnisse für Konflikttransformationen nutzbar machen lassen. Darüber hinaus stellt sich der Band der kritischen Frage, inwieweit das Denken in Kausalketten selbst die Grundlage für Gewaltverhältnisse liefert. Mit Beiträgen u.a. von Wilhelm Berger, Josef Berghold, Leah Carola Czollek und Gudrun Perko sowie Dieter Senghaas.
Motherhood in Patriarchy
„Motherhood in Patriarchy“ pioneers the argument that the current Western understanding of motherhood is a patriarchal one based on a long historical tradition of subjection and institutionalization. The book makes an important contribution to women’s studies on reproduction, feminist theory, motherhood and welfare politics, and offers alternative perspectives.
Macht – Diversität – Ethik in der Beratung
Die Beiträge untersuchen das Verhältnis von Beratung und Macht. In diese Betrachtungen werden unterschiedliche Aspekte einbezogen, wie z.B. das Machtgefälle in der Beratungssituation, aber auch gesellschaftliche Normvorstellungen mit Blick auf Heteronormativität oder Rassismus oder die Vorherrschaft von Diagnostik und Psychotherapie. Auch die besondere Bedeutung von Sprache und Sprechen in diesem Zusammenhang wird intensiv beleuchtet.
