Inhalt: "In this article we consider organisation, gender and higher education, and what we term the routinisation of inequality, drawing on an empirical research investigation in Sweden and England. We understand the idea of universities as historically contingent human creations that reflect an imagined past as well as the interests, values, hopes and intentions of present members as they converge and diverge an specific issues at different times and in different places. We argue that the reproduction of inequality is an assumptive process, largely unchanging and not seen as exceptional or out of the ordinary in universities and that this is connected in the present period with increasing neo-liberalism in conjunction with the new managerialism. The main conclusion is that whilst inequality is experienced negatively by those it affects adversely and who would winch otherwise, it has become ingrained in everyday life as a part of our present taken for granted assumptive world. Consideration is given to Future prospects." (author's abstract)
Die Macht der Kategorien : kritische Überlegungen zur Intersektionalität

Inhalt: "In the German speaking area, debates on Intersectionality' constitute one of the most interesting research areas in contemporary women and gender studier. In this context, rate, class and gender are often considered to be the 'master categories' that represent the most relevant social differences. In contrast, we argue that it is impossible to determine the framework of any intersectional analysis by a predefined number of categories. This can be shown on historical, theoretical and political grounds: First, a reflection on the genealogy of feminist theory shows how crucial critical interventions have been for its development. Second, if an intersectional analysis does not problematize its own exclusions, it disregards its own insights into the functionality of power. And finally, the openness to new and different positions can be seen as a basis for a feminist solidarity beyond the logic of sameness." (author's abstract)

Soziale Homogentiät und kulturelle Hegemonie : Ausschließung und Organisation aus Bourdieuscher Perspektive
Titelübersetzung:Social homogeneity and cultural hegemony : exclusion and organization from a Bourdieusian perspective
Autor/in:
Hofbauer, Johanna
Quelle: Feministische Studien : Zeitschrift für interdisziplinäre Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung, Jg. 28 (2010) Nr. 1, S. 25-39
Inhalt: "Scholars in the fields of Feminist studies and diversity research have argued that social homogeneity of top management (majority of upper class white men), is an important cause for, not only a consequence of, social exclusion in modern organization. The article takes up on the argument of social homogeneity accounting for cultural hegemony in institutions, with an attempt to Show the use of Pierre Bourdieu's approaches to social inequality and symbolic domination. Bourdieu has only recently been 'discovered' by organization studies, explaining for the range of open theoretical questions as well as the lack of comprehensive empirical research. This said, the article still attempts to demonstrate how Bourdieusian concepts such as social distinction, organization field, capital, habitus and symbolic violence already now add to our understanding of exclusion in modern organization."
