Inhalt: Educational expansion, the massive increase of women’s labor force participation, and assortative mating have reduced asymmetries in educational achievements and in career resources between women and men in virtually every Western society. This paper provides an analysis of the association between partners' education, parenthood, and spouses' relative labor supply in East and West Germany. Education is considered from two angles: as an indicator for resources on the labor market or as an indicator for gender attitudes. We apply cross-sectional data from the 2011 German Microcensus, comprising 57,366 couple households. For our estimations, we use General Linear Models. Because of high case numbers, we are able to estimate several interaction effects in statistical powerful detail. We find that (1) a woman's share of paid work is higher, the higher she is educated; (2) women with higher education than their male partners realize higher shares of relative employment (in comparison to other women); (3) women rarely realize a share of 50% or higher on average in any educational composition; (4) especially young children have a huge impact on women's labor supply; and (5) women's comparative educational advantages are more important for their share of paid work in West than in East Germany. Neither interpretation of relative education can explain the overall picture of couples’ division of paid work alone. Depending on parenthood, the age of the youngest child in the household, and the regional context, either normative, or economic exchanges between partners seem to drive the association between relative education, and relative labor supply of women. We demonstrate the usefulness of two theoretical approaches of framing education as an explanatory concept.

Inhalt: "Im Sinne einer kulturwissenschaftlichen Emotionsforschung, die Affekte und Gefühle auf ihre kulturellen Repräsentationsformen und Bedingungen hin untersucht, wird in historischer Perspektive gezeigt, wie das Narrativ mütterlicher Fürsorge bis heute das kulturelle Verständnis von der Frau formt. Die Analyse eines filmischen (Stephen Daldry The Hours) und eines literarischen Beispiels (Julia Franck Die Mittagsfrau) stellt zwei Werke in den Mittelpunkt, die jeweils eine Doppelperspektive einnehmen, die der Mutter und die des Kindes. Sie gehören zu der Textgruppe, die ein im Weiblichkeitsdiskurs eher tabuisiertes Feld behandeln, nämlich Mütter zu perspektivieren, die ihre Kinder nicht aufopferungsvoll lieben. Sie sind als kritische Reflexionen biologistischer Vorannahmen über scheinbar ąnatürliche' Mütterlichkeit, mit der innerhalb des kulturell verankerten binären Systems gleichzeitig die "Unnatürlichkeit" männlicher Fürsorge impliziert ist, ebenso zu verstehen wie als Infragestellung eines traditionellen Familienbilds, in dem Väter von der Zuständigkeit für das emotionale Kindeswohl eher ausgeschlossen sind, weil diese als genuin weibliche Aufgabe diskursiviert wird." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "This article demonstrates from a historical perspective and in terms of cultural studies research into emotions, which examines affects and feelings in terms of their forms of cultural representation and cultural conditions, how the narrative of motherly care has shaped the cultural understanding of women up to the present day. An analysis of one cinematic (Stephen Daldry's "The Hours") and one literary (Julia Franck's "Die Mittagsfrau") example puts the focus on two works which both adopt a double perspective, that of the mother as well as of the child. They belong to the group of texts which deal with a tabooed field in the femininity discourse, that is the perspective of those mothers who do not selflessly love their children. They are to be understood as critical reflections of biologistic presuppositions about apparently "natural" motherliness, which at the same time, within the culturally anchored binary system, implies the "unnaturalness" of masculine care. Moreover, they must be understood as calling into question the traditional family image in which fathers tend to be excluded from responsibility for a child's emotional well-being because that is narrated as a genuinely female task."

Inhalt: Objective: understanding the daily life of a woman undergoing hemodialysis. Method: qualitative study conducted with 9 women by means of interviews in February and March 2013 in the hemodialysis unit of a hospital in Zona da Mata (Minas Gerais), Brazil. Results: the comprehensive analysis unveiled 3 units of meaning: having a chronic kidney disease and facing hemodialysis, hemodialysis and its reactions, the daily life of a woman treated with hemodialysis. Feelings of fear and rejection were noticed. However, religion and family proved to be important for acceptance and hope during treatment. Conclusion: we highlight the importance of the nurse's role in the substitutive renal therapy service. This professional works as an educator, promoting selfcare and assisting the female patients to find new ways to live according to their own limitations.

Inhalt: "Dieser Beitrag befasst sich mit Legenden als einer Ausdrucksform sozialer Kontrolle über im ländlichen Bangladesch lebende Frauen. Die Legenden fanden sich in Interviews, die ich mit Frauen führte, deren Männer das Dorf wg. Arbeitsmöglichkeiten in größeren Städten oder im Ausland verlassen hatten. Für die Analyse nutzte ich Immersion und offenes Kodieren (Marshall und Rossman 2006), wobei mich die individuellen Erzählungen und die Sinngebungsprozesse aufseiten der Frauen interessierten um nachzuvollziehen, in welcher Weise solche Legenden als signifikante Bestandteile des Alltagsleben wirksam sind (Gubrium und Holstein 2009). Die Erzählungen, die resultierten, entsprechen Goldsteins (2004) Definition einer Legende: Sie sind weder individuelle Geschichten, noch sind sie vollständig jenseits des Individuellen; sie werden im Duktus des 'Ob du es glaubst oder nicht' erzählt, und mit ihrer Erzählung sind nur minimale Risiken für die Erzählenden verbunden. Wie andere Legenden und Sagen dienen die hier Erzählten als Mittel der Stützung sozialer Ordnung in Zeiten sozialen Wandels. Und wie bereits in anderen Untersuchungen (z.B. Coontz 1999; Cooper, Linstroth und Chaitlin 2009; Greene 1991; Madriz 1997) deutlich, fokussieren sie insbesondere Frauen in sozialen Umbruchphasen. Die von mir interviewten Frauen berichteten auch über 'Unglücke' und 'Skandale', die sich dann ereigneten, wenn Frauen sich den Heiratsbräuchen oder der traditionellen Trennung von privaten und öffentlichen Räumen nicht unterwarfen."

Inhalt: "This article explores the folk legend as one articulation of the social control of women in rural Bangladesh. Stories and legends emerged when women were interviewed about the effects of men leaving the village for wage-based jobs in cities and abroad. Interviews were analyzed via immersion, theme generation, and open coding (Marshall und Rossman, 2006) with a focus on women's own narratives and meaning-making, which allowed for these stories to be understood as significant components of people's everyday realities (Gubrium und Holstein, 2009). These stories are consistent with Goldstein's (2004) definition of a legend: they are not personal stories yet they are not completely impersonal (friend-of-a-friend subject), they take on a believe-it-or-not tone, and telling them presents minimal risk to the narrator. Like other folk legends, these stories act as a means to reinforce the social order during a time of social change. As other research has shown (Coontz, 1999; Cooper, Linstroth und Chaitlin, 2009; Greene, 1991; Madriz, 1997), stories as social control mechanisms focus specifically and uniquely on women during times of social change. Respondents discuss 'accidents' and 'scandals' that occur when women do not adhere to marriage customs or the traditional dichotomy of public and domestic spheres." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: Objective: understand the experience of women with cervical cancer precursor lesions. Method: phenomenological study, with the reduction, construction, and destruction steps. Data interpretation was performed through Heidegger's comprehensive analysis. Results: the phenomena unveiled were related to women's doubts, due to lack of diagnosis; changes in relationships with partners; difficulties in making friends; family importance; coping strategies; relationship with health professionals and distrust in care; shame and embarrassment to undergo the Pap test; and fear of death. Conclusion: it was found that there is an urgent need to resize the care for a woman with cervical cancer precursor lesions, given the challenge of understanding the need that a health professional provides care from the Heideggerian perspective, establishing a relationship of being-with-the-other, appreciating her as a subject of possibilities.

Inhalt: How does gender affect discourse processes, particularly regarding the coverage of family issues? In order to explore this question, we focus on media representations of women in their roles as mothers on the one hand and journalists on the other and we compare the reporting of male and female journalists covering families. We refer to gender theory to examine processes of gender construction by different actors in the media and we draw on journalism theory to explain different reporting styles and strategies by male and female authors regarding discourse strategies, framing, and gender-stereotyping. Our methodological approaches include quantitative and qualitative content analyses and 14 semi-structured interviews with journalists, family researchers, and lobbyists. The sample includes coverage of families in general and that of large families in particular in German print media in the years 2011 and 2012, for a total of 1,100 texts. One of the key findings, not surprisingly, is that most of the journalists reporting on families are female. Similar to male journalists, however, they focus on the traditional family type despite the fact that various alternative forms of family life are now a social reality.
Experiences of migration as a space for reflection: renegotiating gender roles in family relationships

Dudt, Muriel; Kempf, Andreas Oskar; Satola, Agnieszka
Quelle: Zeitschrift für Qualitative Forschung, 15 (2014) 1-2, S 97-113
Inhalt: "Based on biographical narrative interviews with three migrant women, the article discusses how migration experiences can lead to a reflection of gender roles. In the three cases, there are various motivations for migration, different family arrangements and work experiences throughout the migration process, and also a change of roles of the women within their families. For the interview partners, the access to material resources achieved partly under great sacrifice and the possibility to compare different life contexts and gender regimes triggered an ambivalent process of reflection on gender relations. Their reorganization of gender relations can be rather incomplete or require strong legitimization upon return; it can also be transmitted as a project for the next generation to complete."

Three women in a city: crossing borders and negotiating national belonging

Inhalt: "The major theoretical literature has considered the concept of nation primarily from a macro level. This article explores the question of national belonging departing from an individual's point of view, more precisely from the life story of three migrant women. Migration and transnational practices have challenged the perception of the homogeneity of nations, questioning the idea of fixed boundaries, and showing how different national and social forms of belonging may develop simultaneously through migration experience. Drawing on biographical interviews conducted with three migrant women, Amina El Asri, Gule Yildiz and Zuzana Svitá, the present analysis focusses on the construction of national belonging of the women in an intersectional perspective. Mrs. El Asri, Mrs. Yildiz and Mrs. Svitá originate from different countries (respectively Morocco, Turkey and Czechia). They have different social origins and ages, but share the same sex, their residence in the same city in West Germany and the fact that they all have children. The analysis reveals the profound impact of the socio-historical contexts the women come from on their construction of national belonging, but also of age and of transmission processes to their children. It is mainly through passing on their mother tongue and reshaping their conception of national belonging over time that the women manage to establish strong ties to their children, and contribute, by articulating different lines of belonging, to the redefinition of (trans)nation building processes."
