- With the analysis of power effects which are related to the fabrication of docile bodies and the use of individuals as human resources the study touches the key question of (human resource) management, namely how to transform human potential in actual labor which can be calculated and controlled. This question addresses the fundamental tension between individual and organization. The study closes the research gap on how women who are supposed to be a committed and devoted part of the workforce are fabricated as female human resources while being confronted with contradictory and changing demands in view of workforce participation and family work. The historic case of National Socialism is particularly fruitful as the Nazi era is an extreme example for organizational research. Based on sources from that time, I analyze the discursive fabrication of the deutsche Frau in Nazi Germany, a shifting fabrication through different phases of the Nazi regime. I show that the state acts as top manager of all human resources and elaborate how the state proceeds in organizing them. Yet the tensions and ambivalences of female identity construction, the contradictory processes in which female employees are shaped and shape themselves as well as the finish of deutsche Frau as a human resource are key part of the analysis. By analyzing discursive practices as gendered practices the ambiguities of female identity construction and the (re-)production of the organizational and societal gender order are accentuated. Moreover, I show which subjective and objective power effects are linked to the discursively formed ideal of deutsche Frau. In the study the analysis of sources from the Nazi era is combined with the one of the political, economic and institutional context. The institutional context is highly relevant as women in Nazi Germany were being organized in the total organizations of the Third Reich, where they were confronted with a lifelong education according to the ideal of the deutsche Frau. The context forms a territory with a specific topography in which the discourses on deutsche Frau are embedded.

- Mein Dissertationsprojekt beschäftigt sich mit der literarischen Sprachbetrachtung als Form der Gesellschaftskritik im 19. Jahrhundert. In der Nahḍa, der literarischen und kulturellen Erneuerungsbewegung der arabischen Welt von Mitte des 18. bis Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts, vollzieht sich ein „lexicographical turn“ (Bou Ali), eine neue Hinwendung zur arabischen Sprache unter den veränderten Vorzeichen der Zeit. Zu seinen wichtigsten Akteuren zählt Aḥmad Fāris aš-Šidyāq (ca.1805–1887), der sich in zahlreichen lexikographischen, pädagogischen und essayistischen Werken mit der arabischen Sprache und ihrer Rolle für die Nahḍa auseinandersetzt. Mit as-Sāq ʿalā s-sāq fī mā huwa l-Fāryāq (‚Bein über Bein – Über al-Fāryāqs Dasein‘) verfasst aš-Šidyāq ein epochales Werk, indem er Lexikographie literarisch inszeniert. Mein Dissertationsprojekt macht erstmals in der Forschung diese Inszenierung als weitreichende Gesellschaftskritik lesbar. Durch eine sprachwissenschaftliche bis wortspielerische ‚Kritik der Wörter‘, so meine These, erschafft as-Sāq aus der vormodernen Sprache einen Verhandlungsraum der Moderne. Im Mittelpunkt der Arbeit steht die Analyse von Geschlecht, Lust und Sprache.

- Short description
- Afro-Ecuadorians today still face high levels of racial prejudice, stereotypes and stigmatization. Most Afro-Ecuadorians are very poor and live separately from other ethnic groups in barrios, suffering social and economic exclusion. Such barrios can be found for example in Quito’s suburbs and were founded in the 1980's and 1990’s, after several Afro-Ecuadorian families migrated to Ecuador’s capital in the 1970’s mainly due to economic reasons. The Afro-Ecuadorian barrios in Quito can be understood as physical, social and symbolical territories, in which their inhabitants construct cultural representations, articulate politics and local and global dynamics. To improve integration of Afro-Ecuadorian people in Ecuador it is important to examine the articulation of Afro-Ecuadorian identity – or with reference to Quito an ‘Afro-Quitonian’ identity - and its interaction with representations. Hence, this study investigates how the Afro-Ecuadorian in their barrios in Quito, construct their identification, taking into account the processes of articulation of Afro-Ecuadorian identity from a historical perspective. The study’s uses the articulation of identity concept for analysis, as is it allows to recognize that subjects strategically and according to their needs can access given positions as well as change, produce, select, negotiate or resist these positions or reaching other positions created by themselves. It assumes that there is no subject with a fixed, immutable identity over time, but that a decentralized subject exists with a multiplicity of identities, understood as differences created by history, by representations, and through discourses, practices and positions. This study analyses how the inhabitants of the Afro-Ecuadorian barrios of Quito construct their identifications. It depicts dynamics, actions, creativity and organization of the Afro-Ecuadorian, which are based on the creation of Afro-Ecuadorian self-representations in contrast to the negative image that has historically been associated with black identity and in order to reclaim their identity in an urban context of marginalization, discrimination and racism. Analyzing the process of articulation of Afro-Ecuadorian identity opens new ways of conceiving the identity not as homogeneous and static, based solely on their ancestral territories, but as something dynamic with transnational links that demonstrates its diversity and mobility through its cultural and political practices.

- Short description
- Antifeminism is central to right-wing populist actors in Germany and beyond: They coopt feminist issues for racist purposes in a strategy termed femonationalism (Farris, 2017), while simultaneously mobilizing against feminism and gender equity. While mainstream political forces are quick to condemn the far-right for its racist and nationalist agenda, with regard to feminist issues they have a record of holding positions similar to the far-right, e.g. concerning abortion and gay rights (Kemper, 2014). I hypothesize that the commonalities in far-right and mainstream antifeminism share at least one of the following access points: They rely on gender stereotypes and patriarchal gender relations, as well as on heteronormativity and latent homophobia. Right-wing populism, if understood as a thin-centered ideology (Mudde, 2004), can attach itself to these patriarchal and heteronormative attitudes, and employ the categories of gender and sexuality to create the ‘in-group’ and ‘the other’. Existing research on gender and the far-right so far focuses on the category of gender and its intersections with populism and nationalism, but has neglected how antifeminism is able to create convergence between the far-right and the mainstream and helps spreading far-right views into wider society. This study aims to contribute to fill this gap by analyzing the framing of feminism and gender equity between a variety of actors ranging from the far-right to the alternative left. It asks: Which commonalities in the framing of feminism and gender equity can be observed between the far-right and the political mainstream, and can these be described as discourse coalitions between actors with otherwise adversarial agendas? Discourse coalitions are defined as groups of actors that share a similar positioning and framing regarding feminism and gender equity, and thus result in similar narratives with respect to these issues (Hajer, 2008). The analysis focuses on digital spaces because they host both hegemonic public spheres and subaltern counterpublics (Fraser, 1996). Moreover, digital spaces enable a synchrony of progressive feminist discourses and antifeminist backlash that remains invisible in legacy media (Drüeke & Klaus, 2014). My findings rest on a quantitative content analysis of actor-frame-sequences in news coverage over a one-year period from a diverse set of 18 German online media. The random sample of 1.000 articles includes genuine online media such as right-wing and left-wing, religious and religious-fundamentalist, masculinist and feminist news sites, but also the digital outlets of mainstream legacy media. Preliminary findings aim to analyze the framing of feminism and gender equity in terms of the general legitimacy given to these issues, as well as the suggested treatment recommendations and causal effects. While some of the actors in the analysis such as the manosphere and religious fundamentalists might be prone to ideological closeness with the far-right, I also expect to find discourse coalitions between the far-right and mainstream actors with otherwise adversarial agendas. These are expected to bridge their ideological gaps with socially shared knowledge about gender roles, male supremacy and heteronormativity. The second part of the project will analyze the structures of opposition and support that evolve between the aforementioned actors in the context of (anti-)feminist discourse. Digitally created counter-public spaces are issue-specific, oppose a hegemonic opinion or belief and exist in relation to the mainstream public sphere, which they are trying to alter in their favor (Kaiser & Puschmann 2017). From an agenda building perspective, challengers can use online communication to push their issues on the media agenda, to build alliances with other actors and to mobilize their adherents. The analysis of online issue networks allows to evaluate the strength of connectivity between various actors active within an issue and allows for conclusions about their agenda-building and mobilization capacities in the context of the broader given political opportunity structure (Pfetsch, Adam, & Bennett, 2013; Pfetsch, Maier, Miltner, & Waldherr, 2016). This study thus asks: Which structures of opposition and support become visible in (anti-)feminist, digital counterpublic spheres, and how do these structures vary across issues and actors? Do the networks reveal unlikely coalitions between actors that are otherwise not ideologically close to each other? Which network communities do these actors build and are these separated along the lines of ideology or along issues? Actors strategically use hyperlinks to direct their adherents to the resources of like-minded actors to show their support or use their content as witness for their claims and as resources (Downey & Fenton, 2003). In this way, strategic alliances can become visible within hyperlink structures. To map out the structures of opposition and support in (anti-)feminist digital counterpublic spheres, the hyperlinks in the articles analyzed in the first part of the project are extracted and subject to network analysis as well as to content analysis. These hyperlinks will then be coded for their function in the text, i.e. supporting or opposing another content or actor, but also for partisanship and actor type. I expect to find differing patterns within these networks, firstly depending on the issue at hand and the level of polarization in the debate about the respective issue, and second according to the actor types involved into the specific debate.
