Inhalt: Dieser Beitrag befasst sich mit der Schönheitspraxis der Körperenthaarung bei Frauen. Anhand der Analyse eines Artikels der Frauenzeitschrift Brigitte Woman, welcher dieses Phänomen thematisiert, soll Fragen nach dem Spannungsfeld von Selbstermächtigung und Unterwerfung im Kontext dieser Praxis nachgegangen werden. Gleichzeitig versuche ich in meinem Beitrag aufzuzeigen, dass die Sprechweise, mit der die Thematik verhandelt wird trotz selbstbestimmtem und kritischem Unterton das Phänomen nur auf eine Weise verfügbar macht, die eine fundamentale Kritik an dieser Praxis nicht ermöglicht.
Inhalt: This article discusses the beauty practice of body hair removal by women. By analyzing an article of the women's magazin Brigitte Woman, I want to look into the field of empowerment on the one hand and subjugation on the other hand with regard to this practice. Furthermore I want to point out that, despite its apparently critical tone, the way in which this issue is debated in the magazine does not make a fundamental critique possible.

Inhalt: "Der Aufsatz gibt ein Beispiel einer auf Lernprozesse bezogenen psychosozialen Analyse der Arbeit. Zu Beginn wird ein Konzept des Lernens und der Lebenserfahrung vorgestellt, das sich auf die Arbeiten von Alfred Lorenzer und Oskar Negt stützt. Psychoanalyse wird in diesem Zusammenhang als eine Interaktionsanalyse verstanden. Es wird ein Fallbeispiel eines Lernprozesses aus einem Forschungsprojekt mit einem Trainingsprogramm für ungelernte Arbeitnehmer/ innen dargestellt und kommentiert. Das Beispiel zeigt eine sehr konfliktreiche subjektive Lernerfahrung mit dem Trainingsprogramm. Die Erfahrung der Arbeitnehmer/ innen wird in der Perspektive von Gender-Konflikten interpretiert. Es geht um die Identitätsbildung im Arbeitsprozess, die durch Veränderungen des Arbeitsmarktes herausgefordert wird. Männliche Arbeitnehmer werden für Sozialarbeit weitergebildet, die bis dahin meist von Arbeitnehmerinnen ausgeführt wurde. Des Weiteren geht es um eine neue Konfiguration des gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisses von Arbeit und Gender. Im letzten Abschnitt werden vor dem Hintergrund der Fallanalyse die Methoden einer Sprachanalyse von Lernprozessen diskutiert. Der Begriff des Sprachspiels verbindet in dieser methodologischen Perspektive die Dimension eines sozialen Unbewussten mit der Dimension von formalem Lernen und Wissen. Dadurch wird ein tieferes Verständnis von Lernen und Identitätsbildung in Arbeit und Beruf ermöglicht." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "The article provides an example of psycho-societal analysis of work related learning. Initially a conceptual framework of learning and life experience is established drawing on Alfred Lorenzer and Oskar Negt, and the interactional development of psychoanalysis. A case of learning experience from research into a retraining program for unskilled workers, exposing a very conflictual subjective experience of a traineeship, is presented and commented. The worker's experience is interpreted focusing on the gender aspects of the conflicts, seeing the learning process in the context of a work identity process, which is related to a career shift enforced by labor market transition requiring male workers to retrain for a social work profession which used to be female, and more widely to a reconfiguration of the societal relation between work and gender. The final section discusses the methodological framework for analyzing learning processes by means of interpreting language use. The notion of language game connects the level of unconscious social engagements and level of formal learning and knowledge, and the opportunity for a deeper understanding of professional learning and identity is indicated by reference to one more example."

Inhalt: "In diesem Artikel reflektieren die Autoren ihren Umgang mit dem Erleben von Spannungen im Verlauf von Forschungsprojekten. Als Wissenschaftlerinnen in unterschiedlichen Stadien der universitären Karriere beschreiben sie die je eigene Auseinandersetzung mit dem bzw. im Forschungsprozess und im Besonderen das Aushandeln von Rollen und Verantwortlichkeiten mit Blick auf die Institution, der sie zugehören einerseits und ihre feministische Orientierung andererseits. Sie diskutieren die verfügbare Literatur zur Frage der Verantwortlichkeit von Akademiker/ innen, Spannungen, die mit Forschungsarbeiten einhergehen sowie feministische Methodologien, mit denen sie sich Gender bezogenen Fragen in der eigenen Arbeit angenähert haben. Die eigene Forschungsarbeit kontextualisieren sie, indem sie reflexiv auf die je individuellen Positionen und hinzugezogenen Methodologien Bezug nehmen, und sie zeigen ihren Aushandlungsprozess zwischen akademischen Erfordernissen und der eigenen, feministischen Orientierung. Am Ende behandeln sie die Bedeutsamkeit, die aus ihrer Perspektive dem Schaffen von Räumen für feministische Zusammenarbeit innerhalb der Universität zukommt." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "This article explores the authors' experiences with negotiating tensions when conducting research. As three female researchers in various stages of their academic careers, they describe their own reflexive accounts of the research process as they negotiated their roles and responsibilities in relation to academic institutions and feminism. They discuss the literature related to responsibilities of academics, the tensions associated with conducting research, and the feminist methodologies addressing gendered issues in the current study. The authors contextualize the research project by outlining their positionalities and the methodology for their reflexive process. They then discuss their experiences of negotiating ourselves within an academic institution and within feminism. They conclude by discussing the importance of creating a feminist space through collaboration within academic institutions." (author's abstract)
