The book focuses on the crossover of queer and class, examining a range of texts across languages and genres and spanning nearly a century. Each chapter puts forward class and its manifestations as central to queer analysis of literary and cultural texts in historical and contemporary contexts.
This book explores the entanglement of sex and gender from an interdisciplinary perspective and challenges the common assumption of their separation. It analyzes how sex and gender are understood and applied across society and science. The book also suggests new directions for research, policy and practice.
In times of right-wing populists gaining traction worldwide, conservative Christians engage in both continuous and dynamic action forms to gain societal and political hegemony. Hendrik Johannemann delves deeply into the contentious practices of the South Korean anti-LGBT movement, investigating its roots, framing strategies, transnational ties, and political endeavors.
The relation between education and gender identity formation is a contested terrain: Located between reproducing society’s status-quo and inhabiting the potential to resist this reproduction and making room for alternative being, education constitutes an ambivalent nexus. Nicole Haring investigates how gender norms with their intersections are negotiated in Austria’s educational system.
In her empirical study, Janina Fandel provides a deep insight into the dynamics of friendships with the sexually preferred sex. She highlights the challenges and potential benefits of these relationships from an evolutionary psychological perspective. While most research to date has focused on heteronormative relationships, this study is one of the first to include homosexual individuals.
Care has become a trend in the art field, but much of the recent curatorial focus seems to be limited to symbolic gestures. These efforts have led to few (infra)structural changes. The need remains for bringing about fair working conditions, gender equity, and support structures. In response, Sascia Bailer redefines »curatorial care« as an infrastructural practice grounded in feminist care ethics.
