Combatting Homophobia
Discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity concerns everybody, but it is foremost lesbian and gay persons who have to deal with it, especially when confronting the discovery of their homosexuality as a child or adolescent. In this book, education practitioners working with youth and researchers - from social, political, and educational sciences, as well as theology and philosophy - raise awareness of the wide spectrum of homophobia and offer solutions to the suffering it engenders in youths. The book will be helpful for parents, teachers, and others who are responsible for youth and education. It reviews concrete knowledge, combines it with scientific approaches, and identifies the need for further research. (Series: Gender-Diskussion - Vol. 13)
Der Mann als sexuelles Wesen
La sexualité de l'homme a toujours été l'objet de discussions et de normes éthiques et juridiques. Neuf contributions en philosophie, droit, santé publique, sciences sociales, linguistique, littérature ainsi qu'en histoire de l'Antiquité, du Moyen Age et du XXe siècle, discutent les représentations, conceptualisations et normations de l'homme masculin occidental en tant que créature sexuelle. Les sujets comprennent, entre autres, les différences par rapport aux représentations de la sexualité féminine, les traitements des pratiques homoérotiques, de la bisexualité et de la polygamie ainsi que le paradoxe de la beauté masculine. Les contributions sont suivies par des débats entre les scientifiques. Chaque texte est écrit en allemand ou en français, avec des résumés dans les deux langues. [Ed.]

"Intersex"
In Ovids Metamorphosen verschmelzen die Götter die Nymphe Salmacis mit Hermaphroditos - Sohn von Hermes und Aphrodite - zu einem Zwitterwesen aus Mann und Frau. In unserer Kultur wurden Hermaphroditen in der Mythologie als vollkommene Wesen verehrt und in der Realität lange Zeit zu Monstern erklärt und getötet. Nach kanonischem Recht konnten intersexuelle Menschen ihr Geschlecht selbst bestimmen, seit dem 18. Jh. wird vermehrt ein wahres männliches oder weibliches Geschlecht hinter der zweideutigen Erscheinung vermutet. Vor rund 50 Jahren begann sich die Theorie durchzusetzen, dass die Geschlechtsidentität - “Ich bin ein Mädchen / ein Junge” - ausschliesslich durch Sozialisation f...
The Color of Desire
The Color of Desire tells the story of how, in the aftermath of gay liberation, race played a crucial role in shaping the trajectory of queer, German politics. Focusing on the Federal Republic of Germany, Christopher Ewing charts both the entrenchment of racisms within white, queer scenes and the formation of new, antiracist movements that contested overlapping marginalizations. Far from being discrete political trajectories, racist and antiracist politics were closely connected, as activists worked across groups to develop their visions for queer politics. Ewing describes not only how AIDS workers, gay tourists, white lesbians, queer immigrants, and Black feminists were connected in unexpec...
Royal Bastards
The stigmatisation as 'bastards' of children born outside of wedlock is commonly thought to have emerged early in medieval European history, but Sara McDougall demonstrates that until well into the late 12th-century a child's prospects depended more upon the social status and lineage of both parents than of the legitimacy of their marriage.
Promoting Gender Equality Abroad
The EU likes to be seen as a normative actor, engaged in diffusing the norms and values enshrined in the Lisbon Treaty. This book focuses on gender equality as one of these values. It shows that the EU, in implementing the mandate to promote gender equality abroad, is acting under distinctly separate sets of logic in the various policy fields and vis-�-vis different stakeholders. The same normative commitment to gender equality, when filtered through the particular logic of the various policy fields, leads to different types of external action with rather different outcomes.
