Inhalt: Wie forderten Geschlechterdiskurse vor und nach 1989 die gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse heraus? Wie intervenierten Akteur*innen in machtvolle Ordnungen? Wie werden feministische Visionen in gegenwärtige Aktivismen aufgenommen? Der Band untersucht feministische, queere und künstlerische Widerstandspraxen sowie Mediendiskurse und Selbst- und Fremdzuschreibungen von DDR-Geschlechterbildern aus intersektionalen, postkolonialen und postsäkularen Perspektiven. Zudem wird die Entwicklung der Gender Studies in Osteuropa in den Blick genommen.
Inhalt: Die Autor*innen betrachten die sozial konstruierten und zugleich äußerst wirkmächtigen Differenzkategorien Klasse, Race, Ethnizität, Behinderung, Sexualität und Geschlecht aus intersektionaler Perspektive und fragen, wie Identitätskonstruktionen in zeitgenössischer Kunst, Literatur und visueller Kultur verhandelt werden. Alle Uns bietet Zugänge zu aktuellen Theorieströmungen, z.B. Afropessimismus oder queere Zeitlichkeiten, gibt praktische Einblicke in kuratorische, filmische und wissenschaftliche Arbeit und eignet sich zugleich als Einführung in Ansätze, die sich kritisch mit Normierungen und Stigmatisierungen auseinandersetzen. Die Beiträge zeigen, dass eine gerechtere und solidarische Gesellschaft nur über die Benennung und Anerkennung von Unterschieden verwirklicht werden kann. Sie bauen auf dem Wissen sozialer Bewegungen auf und widersprechen einem Denken in Gegensätzen von Wir-gegen-Die durch Annäherungen an eine Idee von Alle Uns.

The Transgender Studies Reader Remix
Herausgeber/in:
Stryker, Susan; Blackston, Dylan Mc Carthy
Quelle: Routledge, 2022.
Inhalt: The Transgender Studies Reader Remix assembles 50 previously published articles to orient students and scholars alike to current directions in the fast-evolving interdisciplinary field of transgender studies.
The volume is organized into ten thematic sections on trans studies’ engagements with feminist theory, queer theory, Black studies, science studies, Indigeneity and coloniality, history, biopolitics, cultural production, the posthumanities, and intersectional approaches to embodied difference. It includes a selection of highly cited works from the two-volume The Transgender Studies Reader, more recently published essays, and some older articles in intersecting fields that are in conversation with where transgender studies is today. Editors Susan Stryker and Dylan McCarthy Blackston provide a foreword, an introduction, and a short abstract of each article that, taken together, document key texts and interdisciplinary connections foundational to the evolution of transgender studies over the past 30 years.
A handy overview for scholars, activists, and all those new to the field, this volume is also ideally suited for use as a textbook in undergraduate or graduate courses in gender studies.
A Little Respect? LGBT+ Perspectives on Education From Across Europe
Herausgeber/in:
Witte, Kristof de; Holz, Oliver; Geunis, Lotte
Quelle: Waxmann, 2022.
Inhalt: Discrimination against the LGBT+ community persists across Europe. Education is not immune to this: Young people across the continent continue to experience homophobic and transphobic behaviour in schools. This publication provides education practitioners and policy makers with historical perspectives, trends in educational practice, and reflections on desiderata for the future. This publication was developed as part of the All Inc! project, an ERASMUS+ KA2 partnership (2020-2023) funded by the European Commission and implemented by 16 educational institutions in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Spain. The project’s core aim is to encourage awareness, understanding, and inclusion of the LGBT+ community within and beyond the school gates as well as to reflect on what is needed in the future for an educational approach that is fit for purpose in contemporary society.

Queering Methodology. Lessons and Dilemmas from Lesbian Lives
Herausgeber/in:
Ryan-Flood, Róisín; Rooke, Alison
Quelle: Routledge, 2022.
Inhalt: This groundbreaking collection explores the complexities of researching the lives of lesbian and queer women. It critically interrogates the concept of ‘lesbian’, especially as applied to research praxis. Who or what is a ‘lesbian’ and why does this category matter? How is research shaped by such categorisations and why? What does it mean for research that identities can be fluid and changing? Further, this collection examines social formation of power from an intersectional perspective in relation to lesbian and queer women’s experiences, exploring complex tensions and inequalities in relation to class, race and trans identities for example. These chapters by world-renowned scholars bring together compelling accounts of research dilemmas, ethics, sensitivities and nuances that will resonate for many researchers.
