Inhalt: Im gesellschaftlichen Diskurs um das Stillen ist gegenwärtig, trotz fundierter sozialwissenschaftlicher Kritik, immer noch die Position als hegemonial zu bezeichnen, die das Stillen als die beste Form der Säuglingsernährung sieht. Um die Hintergründe für die Macht dieser Position besser verstehen zu können, befragt der Aufsatz medizinische Publikationen aus über einem Jahrhundert aus der wissenschaftstheoretischen Perspektive der französischen Epistemologie und zeichnet die sich darin zeigende Wissensordnung um das Stillen nach: Wie hat sich das Stillen als wissenschaftlicher Gegenstand infolge der Verwissenschaftlichung der Medizin konstituiert? Wie wurde er im Kontext moderner Dichotomien zwischen dem Natürlichen und dem Sozialen positioniert? Welche Hierarchien wurden damit bedient, stabilisiert oder unterlaufen? Zentral für die Argumentation sind drei Erkenntnishindernisse im Sinne Gaston Bachelards, die im Untersuchungszeitraum des 19. Jahrhunderts eine Verschiebung des Gegenstands Stillen von einer natürlichen zu einer "natürlich sozialen Tatsache" erschwerten: die Hybridität der Medizin als Disziplin, die kumulative Praxis der medizinischen Forschung und ihr Fokus auf die Mutter-Kind-Dyade.

Inhalt: Although the social sciences have over the years expressed well-founded criticism, in the contemporary public discourse in Germany breastfeeding is still considered to be the best way to feed a baby. In order to be able to better understand why this is the case, this article discusses material taken from the medical discourse in Germany during the late 19th and 20th century while exploring the potential of the epistemological concept of rupture, which originates in the French sociological tradition. The following questions will be answered: How was breastfeeding constituted as a scientific subject of research during the process of scientification of medicine? Where did this scientific subject of research end up caught between the social and the natural? What kinds of hierarchy were stabilized or subverted as a result? This line of reasoning sheds light on three epistemological obstacles which exacerbate breastfeeding shifting from being a natural to becoming a naturally social fact in the period investigated: medicine as a hybrid discipline, cumulative practices of medical research and its focus on the dyad of mother and child.

Inhalt: Segregation between ethnic or sociodemographic groups represents a longstanding key independent and dependent variable for the social sciences. However, researchers have only recently begun to take advantage of inferential rather than descriptive statistical techniques in order to assess various aspects of segregation. Specifically, this paper shows that the multilevel binomial response approach suggested by Leckie et al. (2012) provides a particularly flexible framework for describing and explaining segregation in ways not previously possible. Taking the index of dissimilarity (D) as an example we demonstrate how the multilevel binomial response approach helps to reduce the problem of small unit bias, allows to asses segregation at different scales and enables researchers to better understand the role of individual- and contextual-level explanatory variables in shaping segregation. To this end, we employ three case studies focusing on different manifestations of ethnic and gender segregation using survey data from urban, national and cross-national settings.

Inhalt: By the 1930s, the Iranian society was driven toward modernization. Consisted with the concept of modernization, feminism ushered a whole new era in Iranian history. Besides, the outbreak of World War II and the consequent abdication of Reza Khan afforded women a golden opportunity to fight for their rights and emancipations. This movement was also supported by the famous male writers of the time among whom Jalal Al-e-Ahmad marked a prominent place. He was keen enough to properly explore women's situation in his works and notice the drastic effect of modernization upon women's situation. Hence, in this study, we try to investigate Al-e-Ahmad's short story entitled "Pink Nail Polish" 1948 with respect to Bakhtin's Carnivalesque's theory. Furthermore, it is shown how Bakhtin's new literary mode can create the excellent chance of studying Iranian women's situation properly. Finally, we explain that due to the drastic change of Iranian women's situation towards modernity, they may lead a double life if their rights are not respected. This can lead to a disproportionate relationship between the husband and the wife as the marital infidelity becomes rampant.

Inhalt: Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach den Gründen für die anhaltend zu konstatierende Leerstelle weiblicher bzw. feministischer Intellektueller in der Historiografie und Soziologie der Intellektuellen nach. Hierfür wird von einem Spannungsfeld ausgegangen, das sich aus den Dimensionen von Anerkennung, Definition, (Selbst-)Autorisierung sowie Zugehörigkeit zu dieser Sozialfigur konstituiert. Mit Blick auf den Entstehungszusammenhang der Neuen Frauenbewegung sowie im Rückgriff auf feministische Erklärungsansätze und die Intellektuellentheorien von Bourdieu und Gramsci werden das Paradox der weiblichen bzw. das Tabu der feministischen Intellektuellen herausgearbeitet. Auf der Grundlage einer Skizze der frühen politischen Ideen der Neuen Frauenbewegung wird abschließend eine veränderte Genealogie der Intellektuellen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland gefordert.

Inhalt: This article examines why female and feminist intellectuals are still not included in the historiography and sociology of intellectuals. The assumption is that there is an area of tensions related to this social role based on the dimensions of recognition, definition, authorization and belonging. In view of the origins of the second women's movement and taking recourse to explanatory approaches to feminist theorists and to Bourdieu's and Gramsci's social theories of intellectuals, it is possible to elaborate the paradox of the female and the taboo of the feminist intellectual. Based on a draft of the early political ideas of the second women's movement, the article calls for a new genealogy of intellectuals in Germany.

Inhalt: Margaret Atwood is the most prominent Canadian writer. Her feminist ideology is clearly obvious in her novels. She overtly illustrates her feminism view in human rights equality and freedom of choice. Atwood's works are consisted of the fundamental freedom and human rights. In general, her fictions truly portray the women's rights that are equal to men's rights. Social constructions of gender are attacked by Atwood's novels. Her stories represent the silence and sexual discrimination in female characters. She is not only looking for annihilating of the gender system i.e. women's subjugation, but look at men and women at the same level in society. Female bodies in Atwood's point of view have been captured in patriarchal societies. Female protagonists in the selected novels explain noticeable symbols of bodily nervousness. Female characters are mostly used as objects in Atwood's stories. Women are considered as a tool or toy, as if they have no feelings, opinions or rights of their own. Body in female characters plays an important role and it is symbol of sexuality. Female body in Atwood's selected stories is under the cruel dominance by male and that is what she always tries to portray under the sexual politics. This paper aims to illustrate sexual politics though female body in Atwood's selected works.

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." (Autorenreferat)

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: In this article, we explore the efficacy of sport as an instrument for social inclusion through an analysis of the film Bend it Like Beckham. The film argues for the potential of sport to foster a more inclusive society in terms of multiculturalism and gender equity by showing how a hybrid culture can be forged through the microcosm of an English young women's football club, while simultaneously challenging assumptions about traditional masculinities and femininities. Yet, despite appearances, Bend it Like Beckham does little to challenge the structure of English society. Ultimately, the version of multiculturalism offered by the film is one of assimilation to a utopian English norm. This conception appears progressive in its availability to all Britons regardless of ethnicity, but falls short of conceptions of hybrid identity that do not privilege one hegemonic culture over others. Likewise, although the film presents a feminist veneer, underneath lurks a troubling reassertion of the value of chastity, masculinity, and patriarchy. Bend it Like Beckham thus provides an instructive case study for the potential of sport as a site of social inclusion because it reveals how seductive it is to imagine that structural inequalities can be overcome through involvement in teams.
