Realities and Fantasies of German Female Leadership
The Western tradition of excluding women from leadership and disparaging their ability to lead has persisted for centuries, not least in Germany. Even today, resistance to women holding power is embedded in literary, cultural, and historical values that presume a fundamental opposition between the adjective "female" and the substantive "leader." Women who do achieve positions of leadership are faced with a panoply of prejudicial misconceptions: either considered incapable of leadership (conceived of as alpha-male behavior), or pigeonholed as suited only to particular forms of leadership (nurturing, cooperative, egalitarian, communicative, etc.). Focusing on the German-speaking countries, thi...

Video Conferencing
The COVID-19 pandemic has reorganized existing methods of exchange, turning comparatively marginal technologies into the new normal. Multipoint videoconferencing in particular has become a favored means for web-based forms of remote communication and collaboration without physical copresence. Taking the recent mainstreaming of videoconferencing as its point of departure, this anthology examines the complex mediality of this new form of social interaction. Connecting theoretical reflection with material case studies, the contributors question practices, politics and aesthetics of videoconferencing and the specific meanings it acquires in different historical, cultural and social contexts.
Conversations with Audre Lorde
Audre Lorde (1934-1992), the author of eleven books of poetry, described herself as a "Black feminist lesbian poet warrior mother," but she added that this phrase was inadequate in capturing her full identity. The interviews in this collection portray the many additional sides of the Harlem-born author and activist. She was also a rebellious child of Caribbean parents, a mastectomy patient, a blue-collar worker, a college professor, a student of African mythology, an experimental autobiographer in her book titled Zami, a critic of imperialism, and a charismatic orator. Despite her intense engagement with the major social movements of her time, Lorde told interviewers that she was always an o...
Films That Spill
Films That Spill is a comprehensive study of the Cinema of Transgression, a hitherto underexamined moment in US underground film culture. Reconsidering the concept of transgressive cinema not only as a description of the intentionally provocative content of the films but also as a feature of a cross-disciplinary practice, Marie Sophie Beckmann explores how filmmaking in the context of the vibrant and intermingling art, music, performance, and film scenes in 1980s Lower Manhattan spilled over the boundaries of artistic disciplines, media formats, and content concepts. This study not only provides a microhistory of these scenes and insight into their afterlife in archives and exhibitions but also represents an innovative contribution to debates within film, media, and visual culture about the methodological and historiographical challenges posed by the expansion of film beyond the discursive boundaries of cinema.
Constitutions and Inequality
Building on economic and feminist critiques of legal individualism, this book develops a relational analysis of constitutional law in the context of real-world social inequality. It provides a methodological framework for legal scholarship, as well as a vocabulary for equality-oriented interpretations of law.

Frauen in der Politik
Ina E. Bieber untersucht die Unterrepräsentation von Frauen in der Politik. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, ob sich Frauen in der Politik nicht beteiligen können, wollen oder sollen. Auf theoretischer und empirischer Grundlage leitet sie ein umfassendes Analyseschema her, anhand dessen die Wahlchancen der Frauen bei Bundestagswahlen im Längs- und Querschnitt und experimentell betrachtet werden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass v. a. makrostrukturelle Faktoren (z. B. Wahlsystem, Parteien) einen zentralen Beitrag zur Erklärung der weiblichen Repräsentation leisten. Mikrostrukturelle Faktoren wie der Familienstand, typische Frauenberufe, frauenspezifische Interessen oder geschlechtsspezifische Persönlichkeitseigenschaften können diese dagegen nicht ausreichend erklären.
