Inhalt: Trotz nach wie vor bestehender Unterrepräsentation werden immer mehr Ministerien in den deutschen Bundesländern mit Frauen besetzt. Weniger betrachtet wurde bisher, ob Frauen in diesem Prozess bestimmte Ministerien häufiger besetzen, es also zu geschlechtsspezifischer Portfolioallokation kommt. Diese ist vor allem relevant, wenn die weiblich besetzten Ministerien weniger prestigeträchtig sind. Davon ausgehend untersucht diese Studie die Prestigedifferenz zwischen männlich und weiblich besetzten Ministerien in den 16 Ländern zwischen 2005 und 2018 sowie mögliche Erklärungsfaktoren. Die Prestigedifferenz wird über den unterschiedlichen Anteil an Beamt*innenplanstellen der Ministerien mess- und vergleichbar gemacht. Die Studie kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass Frauen trotz ihres wachsenden Anteils in Kabinetten vermehrt weniger prestigeträchtige Ministerien besetzen und somit die Prestigedifferenz ansteigt. Als Erklärungsfaktoren zeigen vor allem die Ministerienanzahl sowie der Frauenanteil im Kabinett einen Effekt.

Inhalt: The article departs from the contradiction that the importance of care for society was publicly acknowledged during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the pandemic response of the Austrian government did not challenge the structurally devalued status of care. In order to sustain the hegemonic patriarchal-capitalist governance of care and social reproduction in the pandemic government actors had to reframe care. We investigate government discourses that normalised its careless crisis management and interrogate the role political masculinity and affects played therein. Based on our analysis of a set of selected press conferences held in March 2020, we find that a new mode of rational-affective political masculinity was constitutive of the political management of COVID-19 crisis. With help of this hybrid mode of masculinity, political actors reinterpreted care first and foremost as healthcare and caring for the economy, and as caring for the population in terms of biopolitics. At the same time, caring tasks in the 'private' sphere were left to the personal responsibility of individuals and families. In order to generate consent, political actors frequently invoked affects that pertained to risk and danger on the one hand and solidarity and responsibility on the other.

Inhalt: The present article is about Niqabi women belonging to the private Telegram instant messaging channel Orgullo Niqabi (Spanish for ‘Niqabi Pride’). More specifically, our main objective is to explain what they are demanding, how they articulate their demands through that channel, and why they use it for communicating and to organize their actions. Said demands are mainly linked to their recognition as autonomous and political individuals within the different contexts in which they find themselves. First, our analysis will focus on categorizing their social and political demands for being recognized, not only as Muslims, but also as autonomous, independent, and political beings. Second, we intend to explain how those demands, expressed in the virtual world, are articulated in specific actions in the different societies and social contexts in which these women live. To this end, this article analyzes, following the procedures of the Grounded Theory, the discourses obtained through 27 in depth interviews conducted in the first half of the year 2019. The strength of this research lies in overcoming the difficult access to these women and their discourses as well as in clarifying who they are, what they are demanding from the societies in which they live, how and why they are virtually grouped and the consequences of their virtual grouping in the different societies in which each of them lives.
