Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eine vergessene Geschichte: Texte aus den Anfängen der Frauenforschung. Annemarie Tröger gehörte in den 1970er Jahren zu den Begründerinnen der Frauenforschung im deutschsprachigen Raum. Mit ihrer feministischen Radikalität, die ein anti-disziplinäres Erkenntnisinteresse antrieb, war sie für viele Studentinnen und Kolleginnen wegweisend. Die Pionierin der Methode der Oral History wollte die Erfahrungen marginalisierter sozialer Gruppen in die Geschichte einschreiben und sie zugleich für eine Analyse gegenwärtiger Zustände nutzen und im Kampf gegen anhaltende Herrschaftsverhältnisse mobilisieren. Die Disziplinierung der Frauenforschung seit den 1980er Jahren verdrängte Intellektuelle wie Tröger und führte dazu, dass wichtige Impulse der frühen Frauenforschung heute in Vergessenheit geraten sind. In diesem Band werden ausgewählte Schriften Annemarie Trögers neu zugänglich gemacht und in Kommentaren ehemaliger Weggefährtinnen und Weggefährten als historische Quellen behandelt, die ein Stück bundesrepublikanischer, vor allem Westberliner Universitäts- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte, wieder freilegen. Annemarie Tröger (1939-2013) gehörte zur Gruppe der Initiatorinnen der ersten Berliner Sommeruniversitäten von 1976 und 1977, die ein Startschuss waren für die Entwicklung der bundesdeutschen Frauenforschung. Sie setzte sich früh mit dem Thema "Frauen und Nationalsozialismus" auseinander und war zugleich eine Pionierin der Oral History.
Download or read book Feministische Philosophie in europ ischem Kontext written by Ivanka Raĭnova and published by Böhlau Verlag Wien. This book was released on 2010 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das Buch stellt die erste monographische Untersuchung dar, die sowohl den Stand der feministischen Philosophie in den postkommunistischen Ländern als auch die Probleme des Dialogs zwischen 'Ost-' und 'Westfeministinnen' im Bereich der philosophischen Genderforschung analysiert. Ist die feministische Philosophie ein 'amerikanisches' oder ein 'europäisches' Produkt? Gab es feministische Theorien in 'Osteuropa' vor 1989 oder wurde der Feminismus erst nach der Wende 'entdeckt'? Wieso gibt es dort heute so viele Frauenorganisationen, jedoch keine Frauenbewegungen? Die Autorin versucht auf diese Fragen eine Antwort zu geben und präsentiert zudem durch Gespräche und Interviews mit namhaften europäischen Philosophinnen verschiedene Erfahrungen und Zugangsweisen.

Download or read book Contemporary Western European Feminism RLE Feminist Theory written by Gisela Kaplan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary Western European Feminism is a ground-breaking history of feminism. Gisela Kaplan invites a critical analysis of current ideas, terms and assumptions about our modern world. Written confidently and with compassion, this is the story of a long revolution that has set out to change predominant attitudes and transform value hierarchies and human lifestyles. By outlining the postwar histories of individual countries Kaplan contextualises women’s movements and documents a significant chapter of European social history. She poses questions about the interrelationship between the new movements and the parliamentary democracies in which they occurred, while analysing the contradictions of living in modern capitalist countries. Contemporary Western European Feminism also tackles important contradictions, such as those between the welfare state and the free market economy; industrialisation and religious value systems; social engineering and the production of wealth; and dissent and patrimonial systems of democracy. For those wanting to know more about Europe without the intimidating barriers of language and for those already experts in its social history, Contemporary Western European Feminism is essential reading.

Download or read book Feminist Philosophy of Technology written by Janina Loh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been little attention to feminism and gender issues in mainstream philosophy of technology and vice versa. Since the beginning of the so-called »second wave feminism« (in the middle of the 20th century), there has been a growing awareness of the urgency of a critical reflection of technology and science within feminist discourse. But feminist thinkers have not consistently interpreted technology and science as emancipative and liberating for the feminist movement. Because technological development is mostly embedded in social, political, and economic systems that are patriarchally hierarchized, many feminists criticized the structures of dominance, marginalization and oppression inherent in numerous technologies. Therefore, the question of defining and ascribing responsibility in technics and science is essential for this anthology – regarding for instance the technological transformation of labor, the life in the information society, and the relationship between humans and machines.

Download or read book The knowledge of experience written by Dana Mahr and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-05 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the role of social and epistemic diversity in science, technology, and medicine in the 21st century. It argues that most contemporary endeavours to democratize science are epistemically conservative. Using illustrative case studies, Dr Dana Mahr shows how epistemic diversity can contribute to a renewal of the production of scientific knowledge. Her exploration of online self-help cultures, radical feminist health movements, and grassroots environmentalism in Thailand emphasize that “experiential knowledge“ and “performativity“ are important epistemic strategies for marginalized social groups to critically engage with institutionalized knowledge.
Download or read book Gender and Religious Leadership written by Hartmut Bomhoff and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-10-18 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume analyzes historical and recent developments in female religious leadership and the larger issues shaping the scholarly debate at the intersection of gender and religious studies. Jewish activism and scholarship have been crucial in linking theology and gender issues since the early twentieth century. Academic and vocational leadership and training have had significant, concrete impact on religious communal practices and formation across the US and Europe. At the same time, these models provide important avenues of constructive dialogue and comparative ecumenical and interfaith enterprises. This volume investigates those possibilities towards constructive, activist, holistic female ministerial leadership for religious faith communities.
Download or read book COVID 19 and Foreign Aid written by Viktor Jakupec and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-24 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a timely, critical, and thought-provoking analysis of the implications of the disruption of COVID-19 to the foreign aid and development system, and the extent to which the system is retaining a level of relevance, legitimacy, or coherence. Drawing on the expertise of key scholars from around the world in the fields of international development, political science, socioeconomics, history, and international relations, the book explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on development aid within an environment of shifting national and regional priorities and interactions. The response is specifically focused on the interrelated themes of political analysis and soft power, the legitimation crisis, poverty, inequality, foreign aid, and the disruption and re-making of the world order. The book argues that complex and multidirectional linkages between politics, economics, society, and the environment are driving changes in the extant development aid system. COVID-19 and Foreign Aid provides a range of critical reflections to shifts in the world order, the rise of nationalism, the strange non-death of neoliberalism, shifts in globalisation, and the evolving impact of COVID as a cross-cutting crisis in the development aid system. This book will be of interest to researchers and students in the field of health and development studies, decision-makers at government level as well as to those working in or consulting to international aid institutions, regional and bilateral aid agencies, and non-governmental organisations.
Download or read book Translation and Gender written by Faruk Yücel and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2024-01-02 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language as a complex and dynamic phenomenon is an important instrument for reflecting individual and social identity. The formation of languages under the influence of specific norms and rules, which depend on historical and cultural developments, goes beyond their mere use as a means of communication. Languages are used to formulate thoughts, express emotions, demonstrate behaviour and produce artistic texts as skills and actions. Languages are also used to exert pressure, direct thoughts and influence people. Especially since the 1970s, under the influence of women's rights and feminist approaches in the West, language has played a prominent role in the reflection on gender and identity in cultural, linguistic and literary studies. This influence has led to an increased awareness of how language shapes and perpetuates concepts of gender and identity. Against this backdrop, this thesis will analyse various dimensions of the linguistic construction of gender and identity and examine their impact on socio-cultural structures. Translation and Gender: Beyond Power and Boundaries is an anthology of studies that analyse in depth the connections between translation and gender, translation and women, and translation and feminist understanding. The publication offers the opportunity to discuss various topics and answer questions related to different approaches.
Download or read book Organization and Newness written by Michael A. Peters and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organization and Newness: Discourses and Ecologies of Innovation in the Creative University offers a view from a perspective of organizational education on the ‘new’, which analyzes the production of the ‘new’ within organizations, in relation to the inherent learning processes. Fundamental for this perspective is the question about the changeability of organizations, especially when these are not viewed only as instrumentally established regulatory structures but rather as social constructs. The contributions of this volume contour the complexity of newness in organization and form a bridge from critical analysis of imperative discourse of newness, to programmatic pleas of an organizational pedagogy, which is normative in nature, for a reconfiguration of organizational and societal relationships. The issue at hand shows how tightly the question about newness is constitutively woven into the self-conception of organizational education and pedagogy.
Download or read book From the Shtetl to the Lecture Hall written by Luise Hirsch and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the 19th century, women were regularly excluded from graduate education. When this convention changed, it was largely thanks to Jewish women from Russia. Raised to be strong and independent, the daughters of Jewish businesswomen were able to utilize this cultural capital to fight their way into the universities of Switzerland and Germany. They became trailblazers, ensuring regular admission for women who followed their example. This book tells the story of Russian and German Jews who became the first female professionals in modern history. It describes their childhoods—whether in Berlin or in a Russian shtetl—their schooling, and their experiences at German universities. A final chapter traces their careers as the first female professionals and details how they were tragically destroyed by the Nazis.
Download or read book Sisters in Arms written by Katharina Karcher and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few figures in modern German history are as central to the public memory of radical protest than Ulrike Meinhof, but she was only the most prominent of the countless German women—and militant male feminists—who supported and joined in revolutionary actions from the 1960s onward. Sisters in Arms gives a bracing account of how feminist ideas were enacted by West German leftist organizations from the infamous Red Army Faction to less well-known groups such as the Red Zora. It analyzes their confrontational and violent tactics in challenging the abortion ban, opposing violence against women, and campaigning for solidarity with Third World women workers. Though these groups often diverged ideologically and tactically, they all demonstrated the potency of militant feminism within postwar protest movements.
