Issue 3|23 Women's movements and feminisms

Today, the feminist “we” is fragmented and fluid. The invocation of women reflexively triggers accusations of essentialism. How can we commemorate individuals all over the world, who decided to act politically – on their own or as part of a movement – as women, to fight sexist exploitation and oppression in politics, education, economics, law, culture, and private life?

Issue 2|23 Politics in Popular Culture

What is the political in the popular and the popular in the political? Feminist recognition and queer identity politics are based on the public perception of the subaltern, whose subject status needs to be established and reinforced. Of particular interest is the intertwining of seriality and performative visibility.

The process of digital transformation offers opportunities and risks with regard to participation possibilities of different groups on a political, cultural and social level. For this issue, we are looking for contributions that ask to what extent discriminatory patterns and power relations are transformed and/or reproduced on digital platforms, in social networks and through algorithms.
