German Feminism
Rich, diverse, and complex, this anthology presents the new prose fiction of women from both Germanys and Austria and the working papers of the German women's movement since the late 1960s. The alternation of an inner and outer focus in these selections allows the reader to explore the resonance between political thought and action, and the creative expression of women's own experience. Also invaluable, and exemplary of the vitality of German feminists, is their capacity for self-criticism and theoretical analysis. Two introductory essays give comprehensive overviews of current directions in German feminism and women's literature, with historical background and interpretation. The sequence o...
Conversations with Experience
The autobiographical films of German women form a unique body of work. Merging documentary and fiction footage, the filmmakers present a self (de)formed, but not constructed, by social forces. By historicizing, rather than psychologizing, their experience, these filmmakers call prevailing models of subject construction into question. Conversations with Experience examines the social and theoretical context of the films' production and proposes feminist hermeneutics as a theory of textual analysis. Drawing on the insights of Christa Wolf, Mary Daly, and Adrienne Rich, feminist hermeneutics recalls ontology as the basis for a conversational approach to critical engagement.

Handbuch zur Frauenbildung
Die Geschlechterperspektive gerät gegenwärtig stärker in den Vordergrund, sie löst die Frauenperspektive ab - oder besser - macht deshalb die Frauenperspektive zu einem unverzichtbaren Bereich in allen Gesellschafts- und Bildungsfeldern. So zum Beispiel diffundiert die Frauenbildung besonders stark in die Gesundheitsbildung und in neue Ansätze zur Managementausbildung. Vorgeblich geschlechtsneutrale Fragen scheint es immer weniger zu geben. Damit gewinnt die Frauenbildung indirekt neues Terrain. Besondere Unterstützungskraft bekommt diese Sichtweise noch durch die zunehmende Einrichtung von Studiengängen zum Geschlechterverhältnis. Das Handbuch bietet eine Orientierung über den Forschungsstand, das breite Praxisfeld der Frauenbildung und Fragen des Geschlechterverhältnisses in der Erwachsenen- und Weiterbildung. Außerdem werden Vernetzungen zu anderen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen dargestellt.
Women in German Yearbook
"The only German literature journal that presents a coherently feminist perspective and that serves as a forum for feminist voices."_Susanne Zantop, Dartmouth College
Women Architects and Politics
In the late 1960s, the feminist scholar Kate Millet broadly defined »politics« as arrangements of power which enable individuals collectively to assert authority over others. Taking this definition, case studies by scholars from Europe, Israel and the United States explore the gendered professional in the 20th century as she navigated arrangements of power including organised religion, emancipation movements, cultural norms and shifting forms of government to practice architecture. Additional contributions reflect upon power structures in contemporary architectural education, practice and history to propose other means of architectural knowledge, representation and professional activity.
Transatlantic German Studies
The prominent scholar-contributors to this volume share their experiences developing the field of US German Studies and their thoughts on literature and interdisciplinarity, pluralism and diversity, and transatlantic dialogue.
Female, Jewish, and Educated
Female, Jewish, and Educated presents a collective biography of Jewish women who attended universities in Germany or Austria before the Nazi era. To what extent could middle-class Jewish women in the early decades of the 20th century combine family and careers? What impact did anti-Semitism and gender discrimination have in shaping their personal and professional choices? Harriet Freidenreich analyzes the lives of 460 Central European Jewish university women, focusing on their family backgrounds, university experiences, professional careers, and decisions about marriage and children. She evaluates the role of discrimination and anti-Semitism in shaping the careers of academics, physicians, and lawyers in the four decades preceding World War II and assesses the effects of Nazism, the Holocaust, and emigration on the lives of a younger cohort of women. The life stories of the women profiled reveal the courage, character, and resourcefulness with which they confronted challenges still faced by women today.
The Importance of Reinventing Oscar
The present collection of essays is the outcome of the Oscar Wilde conference held at the Technical University of Dresden, 31 August - 3 September 2000. The papers cover a wide range of historical and comparative aspects: they look into the status of Wilde as poet, dramatist, essayist and intellectual during his own times as well as investigate the meaning of his work for subsequent writers and critics, thus, giving an outline of the Wildean history of literary reception, intellectual discourse and media transformation. Intellectually brilliant and challenging, Oscar Wilde had been a favourite of the late Victorians, performing the roles of the dandy and the poet of art for art's sake. Howev...
