Inhalt: Sexismus ist in der alltäglichen Wahrnehmung, Deutung und Wertung der Frauen und Männer ein unterbestimmter Begriff, der gleichzeitig Assoziationen in viele Richtungen erzeugt und mehrdimensional ist: Das betrifft die verschiedenen Erscheinungsformen (unter anderem Face-to-Face, online über E-Mails und digitale soziale Netzwerke, telefonisch, in der Werbung) sowie unmittelbare und mittelbare, persönliche und strukturelle Arten von Sexismus, abhängig von Situationen und sozialen Kreisen. Gemeinsam in den Bestimmungen von Sexismus ist die Herabwürdigung der konkreten Person in ihrer Geschlechtsidentität, die Objektivierung und Instrumentalisierung eines Subjekts, dem Würde und Souveränität genommen werden.
Entscheidend ist in der Alltagswahrnehmung, dass es zahlreiche Phänomene von Sexismus gibt, die nicht eindeutig sind, sondern im Ermessen der Betroffenen liegen. Insofern ist Sexismus Kommunikation, an der mindestens zwei Akteure beteiligt sind, die einen kommunikativen Akt jeweils für sich interpretieren. Was ein Absender sexistisch meinen kann, muss vom Empfänger nicht so verstanden werden. Was für einen Absender ein Flirt oder „Anmache“ ist, kann vom Empfänger als sexistisch interpretiert werden. Insofern kann es – mit Ausnahme erheblicher, schwerer Übergriffe – keine objektive Instanz geben, die Sexismus von einer neutralen Warte aus bewertet. Eine pluralistische Gesellschaft der Freiheit muss diesen Diskurs dauerhaft führen: Was ist sexistisch und wo verlaufen die Grenzen?

Quelle: , 2019. 56 Seiten
Inhalt: Der vorliegende Begleiter (»Vademekum«) soll Hochschulen dabei unterstützen, etwaige Diskriminierungen gegenüber nicht-binären Personen zu identifizieren und in der Folge zu beseitigen. Nicht-binäre Personen können oder wollen unter Umständen nicht in die Kategorie »Mann« oder »Frau« passen. Sie identifizieren sich als transgender Personen, als intergeschlechtliche Personen oder als
(inter) Frauen bzw. (inter) Männer. Seit die Europäische Menschenrechtskonvention allen Menschen das Recht auf freien Ausdruck der Geschlechtsidentität zugesteht (EMRK Artikel 8), verpflichten sich alle europäischen Staaten, dieses national umzusetzen.

Using the law to challenge gender based violence in university communities
Autor/in:
Whitfield, Louise
Quelle: Gender based violence in university communities. Sundari Anitha (Hrsg.), Ruth Lewis (Hrsg.). Bristol: Policy Press.. 2018, S 149–167
Inhalt: Although laws do exist to protect women from violence against women and girls (VAWG) on campus, they are rarely used by survivors and routinely ignored by the institutions. There have been very few cases in this area, making legal analysis difficult but this chapter looks at the existing law and how it could be used more to bring about much-needed change in the accountability of universities and respect for women’s rights. The very small number of cases to date reflect both the cultural and legal landscape as well as the difficulties women face in bringing such cases.

Gender and political violence : Women changing the politics of terrorism
Herausgeber/in:
Ortbals, Candice D.; Poloni-Staudinger, Lori
Inhalt: This book examines the role of gender in political conflicts worldwide, specifically the intersection between gender and terrorism. Political violence has historically been viewed as a male domain with men considered the perpetrators of violence and power, and women as victims without power. Whereas men and masculinity are associated with war and aggression, women and femininity conjure up socially constructed images of passivity and peace. This distinction of men as aggressors and women as passive victims denies women their voice and agency. This book investigates how women cope with and influence violent politics, and is both a descriptive and analytical attempt to describe in what ways women are present or absent in political contexts involving political violence, and how they deal with gender assumptions, express gender identities, and frame their actions regarding political violence encountered in their lives. The book looks to reach beyond the notion of women as victims of terrorism or genocide without agency, and to recognize the gendered nature of political conflicts and how women respond to violence. This book will be of interest to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in political science, sociology, cultural studies, and gender studies, academics in terrorism studies and gender studies, government officials, NGOs, and professionals working in areas of violent conflict.

From radical black feminism to postfeminist hashtags: re-claiming intersectionality
Autor/in:

Inhalt: The term ‘intersectionality’ was coined by legal theorist Kimberlé Crenshaw in the late 1980s. Originally, it referred specifically to the vulnerable position of black women victims of domestic violence in the socio-legal context of the United States. In a nutshell, Crenshaw argues that the particular situation of black women cannot be equated with that of white women victims or with the larger discrimination faced by the black population, and thus the legal apparatus is not conceived to appropriately consider their cases. In addition, an underlying aim was to contest the assumed ‘colour-blindness, neutrality and objectivity’ of the criminal justice system in the US (Nash, 2008: 2; Crenshaw, 1989). Besides its root in the legal field, the term ‘intersectionality’ mirrors debates brought about by radical black feminists in the previous decades and which centres on a critique of a western, white feminism that claims universal reach.

Quelle: Cham: Springer (Handbooks of Sociology and Social Research), 2018. 1 online resource
Inhalt: This handbook provides a comprehensive view of the field of the sociology of gender. It presents the most important theories about gender and methods used to study gender, as well as extensive coverage of the latest research on gender in the most important areas of social life, including gendered bodies, sexuality, carework, paid labor, social movements, incarceration, migration, gendered violence, and others. Building from previous publications this handbook includes a vast array of chapters from leading researchers in the sociological study of gender. It synthesizes the diverse field of gender scholarship into a cohesive theoretical framework, gender structure theory, in order to position the specific contributions of each author/chapter as part of a complex and multidimensional gender structure. Through this organization of the handbook, readers do not only gain tremendous insight from each chapter, but they also attain a broader understanding of the way multiple gendered processes are interrelated and mutually constitutive. While the specific focus of the handbook is on gender, the chapters included in the volume also give significant attention to the interrelation of race, class, and other systems of stratification as they intersect and implicate gendered processes.

Coping and Sexual Harassment : How Victims Cope across Multiple Settings
Autor/in:

Inhalt: The ways sexual harassment occurs both online and in face-to-face settings has becomemore complicated. Sexual harassment that occurs in cyberspace or online sexual harassment adds complexity to the experiences of victims, current research understandings, and the legal dimensions of this phenomenon. Social networking sites (SNS) are a type of social media that offer unique opportunities to users and sometimes the communication that occurs on SNS can cross the line from flirtation into online sexual harassment. Victims of sexual harassment employ communicative strategies such as coping to make sense of their experiences of sexual harassment. The current study qualitatively examined problem-focused, active emotion-focused, and passive emotion-focused coping strategies employed by sexual harassment victims across multiple settings.
