- Kurzbeschreibung
- This qualitative research project would explore how lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersexual people determine that hate-motivated crimes are based on their sexuality or gender identity. The study of hate crime victimisation is meant to engage victims of homophobic and transphobic hate crimes and record their views on the nature, forms and impact of hate based violence. The proposed research will also assist in exploring experiences of this unique population who are often ignored, because such concepts as sex, gender, homophobia, transphobia are not included in the criminological research. Research is going to be conducted on how people determine that violence is based on either their actual sexual orientation or gender identity or as perceived by the offender. The main aims are to compare the empirical findings based on in-depth interviews about people’s experiences of hate crimes because they are perceived to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or intersexual; to see whether hate crimes have been reported and follow up the cases and to see how hate crimes influenced victims and their families. Through the in-depth interviews with victims and experts I am hopeful to document typical experiences of LGBTI persons; find out, whether including homophobia and transphobia in hate crimes legislation is justifiable. This question is especially interesting in the light of intersectionality. I would also like to find out which group is more targeted by the anti-LGBTI violence and and how the overall societal situation impact individual experiences as well as why the homophobic and transphobic incidents remain underreported. My research aims to contribute to the prevention of homophobic and transphobic incidents and provide grounds for the necessity for legislative changes as well as contribute to the better protection of LGBTI people through better strategies for law enforcement training. It is my hope that my research will also translate in longer term into increased recognition of the rights of LGBTI people – including the right to be protected from violence – as human rights.

- Kurzbeschreibung
- In Uneven Developments: The Ideological Work of Gender in Mid-Victorian England, Mary Poovey asserts that certain issues regarding women’s position in Victorian society constituted a “problem,” because they “had the potential to expose the artificiality of the binary logic that governed the Victorian symbolic economy.” My dissertation explores literary representations of one such “problem” – the presence of women in the urban environment and their changing roles in relation to publicity at the end of the nineteenth century. By this time, the conditions of female mobility in the modern metropolis had been radically altered, as an unprecedented number of women (including middle-class women) were making an appearance in different public spaces. Women’s ‘proper’ place, perceived as natural according to the ideology of domesticity (a notion that was crucial not only to the institutional practices underlying the model of separate spheres, but also central to the nineteenth-century literary imagination), got increasingly contested through women’s conspicuousness in non-domestic places and roles. In my dissertation, I am concerned with the ways in which the interest in and anxiety about women in public came to be negotiated through literary representations. The fictional texts I investigate indicate a widespread concern with new forms of female mobility, and with women who in various ways have stepped out of their bounded roles and ascribed places. Further, the aim of the dissertation is to demonstrate the need for nuanced readings of the ‘woman question’ in late-Victorian literature, and to argue that fictional negotiations are far less schematic than a number of previous studies have suggested. Some readings have conceptualized the city as an altogether negative or even dangerous environment for women, while others have claimed that representations of women in public signal the emergence of an “active, autonomous figure and a modern woman comfortable and knowledgeable in a female-dominated urban environment” (Deborah Parsons: Streetwalking the Metropolis). The dissertation slightly dissents from the debates that either posit women as victims of a hostile public environment, or read these figures through the theoretical trope of the independent flâneuse. Instead, it argues that fictional representations are far more ambiguous: they represent new ‘types’ of femininity, but at the same time are driven by an uneasiness with women’s changing roles and appearances in various spaces: fears about women’s sexuality and their loss of ‘respectability,’ and anxieties about the dissolution of gender relations and the blurring of class boundaries. As women appear on the (literal as well as metaphorical) stage of publicity, the novels I read exhibit the double-edged potential of their status as performers, spectacles and women on display: a risk of vulnerability and loss of agency, as well as an implicit disruptive force, and a possible danger to the fantasy of the ordered city and separate spheres.

- Kurzbeschreibung
- Das Forschungsvorhaben geht von der zentralen Annahme aus, dass in Südasien gegenwärtig eine neue Generation muslimischer Akteurinnen in Erscheinung tritt, die die Kernanliegen und Praktiken der transnationalen Diskurses des islamischen Feminismus aufgreifen und in einer bislang nicht gekannten Weise an der Produktion islamischen Wissens partizipieren. Die entscheidende Voraussetzung für diese Entwicklung wurde durch die rasante Medialisierung der südasiatischen Gesellschaften seit Anfang der 1980er Jahre geschaffen. Am Beispiel Indiens, Pakistans und Bangladeschs sollen die Strategien muslimischer Frauenrechtlerinnen untersucht werden, die eine Reformulierung zentraler Positionen des global vorherrschenden, säkular-nationalen Geschlechterdiskurses anstreben, zugleich aber in ihren eigenen, lokalen Glaubensgemeinschaften Anerkennung für ihre Forderungen suchen. Ihr Bestreben ist es, aus der islamischen Tradition eine für sie als Bürgerinnen ihrer Nationalstaaten relevante, zeitgemäße Perspektive zu entwickeln. Ein Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung soll auf der Frage ihrer Handlungsfähigkeit (agency) gegenüber den etablierten religiösen Autoritäten und deren Deutungsmacht über die normativen Quellen des Islams, Koran und Sunna liegen. Ziel des Vorhabens ist es, am Beispiel des islamischen Feminismus zu zeigen, wie aus den vielfältigen Konnektivitäten transnationaler und lokaler Bewegungen und Öffentlichkeiten in Südasien grundlegend neue Ideen, Praktiken und Akteure hervorgehen, die für die Wechselbeziehung von säkular-nationalen und religiösen Diskursen gleichermaßen relevant sind wie für die Frage der Identität südasiatischer Musliminnen und Muslime als Staatsbürger.

- Kurzbeschreibung
- The research on the unprecedented global growth of the prison population and the theoretical suggestion of the rise of a Penal State as cause and effect of this phenomenon presents unanswered questions about the form the Penal State takes in different regions and how gender articulates the relation between it and its subjects. Two lacunas can be identified in these debates: the first one relates to the particularities of the Latin American case and how these influence the manifestations of the Penal State in different countries of the region from an empirical perspective. The second is related to the research on women’s experiences with the punitive face of the Penal State, with the prison as its main governance institution. Based on these two lacunas, the research poses the following question as a starting point: How does the penal state operate in the Mexican women’s prison and what subjects are (re)produced through the exercise of disciplinary power? It argues that the study of the mundane daily interactions of incarcerated women with the state’s disciplinary power can contribute to the development of an ethnography of the state from the margins. The research utilizes the case of the Centro de Reinserción Femenil (CRF) of Puente Grande in Jalisco, Mexico, the second biggest female confinement institution in the country. The dissertation presents the hypothesis that the disciplinary and punitive techniques used in the female prison are highly informed by gendered notions for the (re)production of ‘rehabilitated’ subjects. These notions (re)produce in the incarcerated women a subordination not only based on gender but also on the other categories with which gender intersects to create new axis of exclusion and inequality. Through ethnographic participant observation and interviews with the inmates’, the research focuses on the daily interactions of incarcerated women with the disciplinary State power in the prison. It concludes that the Penal State operates in the women’s prison through punitive techniques that rely on informality and gender meanings to achieve a discipline that solidifies state power over the bodies confined in the institution. Through the mundane interactions of incarcerated women with the state’s disciplinary power, the female prison not only governs and manages this population sector that is located a priori in advanced marginality, but it constructs that marginality in a systematic manner. This happens through the (re)production of incarcerated women as subordinated subjects in terms of gender and the categories with which gender combines to create new exclusion axis (that include class, ethnicity, educational level, sexual preference and place of origin, among others). This subordination permeates all of the inmates’ interactions with the State and its representatives and places the women in a disadvantageous and vulnerable position even in relation to their male incarcerated counterparts.

- Kurzbeschreibung
- Künstlerpaare aus dem späten 20. Jahrhundert inszenieren die Verflechtung von Arbeit und Beziehung paradigmatisch. Sie verweisen damit nicht nur auf veränderte Geschlechterverhältnisse, sondern auch auf ein historisch verändertes Verständnis von Arbeit, Kunst und Selbst. Gleichzeitig entsprechen sie mit der Engführung von Arbeit und Beziehung dem romantischen Ideal von Verschmelzung und Autarkie auf gleich doppelte Weise. So ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass Künstlerpaaren häufig unterstellt wird, ihre Gefühle füreinander seien besonders intensiv und leidenschaftlich. Mein Projekt setzt genau an diesem Punkt an, um gerade aber jene Vorannahme der besonderen Gefühlsintensität zu hinterfragen. Dabei gehe ich davon aus, dass das, was Liebe ist und sie ausmacht, von gesellschaftlichen und historischen Bedingungen abhängt. Über die Geschichte der Liebe und der Arbeit lassen sich spezifische Modi der Subjektkonstitution und der sozialen Nahbeziehungen in den Blick nehmen. So wird nach dem Verhältnis von Liebe, Arbeit und Kunst im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert gefragt. Beziehungen werden nicht einfach als Repräsentationen von bestehenden Geschlechterverhältnissen verstanden werden, sondern in ihrer performativen Dimension betrachtet. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Paaren können Künstlerpaare ihre Beziehungen explizit zum Gegenstand ihrer Arbeit machen. Innerhalb meines Projekts sollen jedoch nicht nur solche Paare in den Fokus geraten, die gemeinsame Kunstwerke schaffen, sondern auch diejenigen, die sich künstlerisch im selben Feld bewegen wie Hannah Höch & Raoul Hausmann oder auch Paula Modersohn-Becker & Otto Modersohn. Ebenfalls wichtig scheint ein Blick auf Paare wie etwa Alfred Stieglitz & Georgia O’Keeffe und Max Ernst & Dorothea Tanning, bei denen der andere ganz offensichtlich Teil der eigenen künstlerischen Arbeit wird und umgekehrt. Der Fokus liegt damit auf dem Feld der visuellen Künste. Denn Visualität soll auch methodologisch in den Blick geraten. Neben Tagebüchern und Briefwechseln werden Fotografien und Kunstwerke als Quellen betrachtet und als ‘Bildakte’ (Bredekamp) verstanden. Liebe, so soll in dem Projekt gezeigt werden, kann in diesem Sinne als performativer Akt definiert werden, der über die Generierung von Bildern und in der künstlerischen Arbeit konstituiert und de/stabilisiert wird.

- “If a Negro boy and a white girl find things in common and desire to associate with each other, we as believers in democratic freedom should support their democratic right to do so,”[1] a reader of the African American magazine Ebony declared in his letter to the editor. His comment referred to a series of reports on the experience of African Americans soldiers stationed in West Germany. Many African Americans remembered their deployment in postwar Germany as a good time – a time, in which they felt like “equals” – a feeling they missed at home. They connected this novel feeling of “equality” with being recognized and accepted as men. It was not only their status as occupation soldier but also the contact with German civilians, which gave them a new perspective on their situation back home in the United States. Most notably intimate relationships between African American soldiers and German women evolved as central themes, and – as I shall argue – contested forms of protest and resistance in personal and collective narratives of African Americans. Understanding intimacy, sexuality, and love as both emotions and practices of attraction and affection and – in certain circumstances – as subtle forms of protest my dissertation project seeks to trace back the implications the deployment of African American troops in postwar West Germany had for the struggle against racial discrimination in the Untied States. As African Americans summarized the struggle for social justice as a quest for equality, I am particularly interested in the construction of the concept of equality on a subject, as well as collective level, and its entanglement with gender, sex, and emotions such as love. Broadly speaking my project seeks to contribute to the transnational history of the struggle for social justice in the United States. It approaches the topic from the perspective of gender, sexuality, and emotions, understanding the discourse on intimacy as a forum to address many other issues aside from sex and romance and as an allegory to talk about various political and social conflicts.

- Kurzbeschreibung
- "My ethnographic project aims at understanding the perceptions and practices of young men experiencing sexual performance concerns, particularly dysfunctions. Globally, there are over 152 million men experiencing sexual dysfunctions, erectile dysfunction in particular. For example, by the year 2025, the number of men experiencing erectile dysfunction is projected to reach about 322 million with the highest percentage increase in developing countries of Africa of 169% from 1995 to 2025 (Ayta et al. 1999). In Tanzania, particularly, the little available data on sexual performance concerns are limited on the prevalence, risk factors associated with sexual dysfunctions and among people with comorbidities such as HIV/AIDS (UKIMWI) and diabetes (See, for example, Mkongo, 2009; Mutagaywa et al. 2014). As a result, the perceptions and practices of men experiencing sexual dysfunctions have remained unexamined. So far, to the best of my knowledge, there is no ethnographic study on male sexual dysfunctions not only in Tanzania but also in the wider Sub-Saharan African region."
