In this groundbreaking work, Sara Ahmed demonstrates how queer studies can put phenomenology to productive use. Focusing on the “orientation” aspect of “sexual orientation” and the “orient” in “orientalism,” Ahmed examines what it means for bodies to be situated in space and time. Bodies take shape as they move through the world directing themselves toward or away from objects and others. Being “orientated” means feeling at home, knowing where one stands, or having certain objects within reach. Orientations affect what is proximate to the body or what can be reached.

Riane Eisler reads this new, accessible adaptation of her ground-breaking classic The Chalice and the Blade, in which she combined original theory with noted scholarship to tell a new story of our cultural origins. Drawing evidence from literature, art, sociology, archeology, politics, and economics, she eloquently reconstructs a prehistoric culture based on partnership rather than domination. She then traces the roots of the global shift to patriarchy, showing that was and the "war of the sexes" are neither divinely nor biologically ordained.

Kein Frieden ohne Feminismus. Immer noch dominieren alte, weiße, westliche Männer die Politik sowie Theorie und Praxis der internationalen Beziehungen.

Die Politikwissenschaftlerin, Aktivistin und Entrepreneurin denkt Frieden, Menschenrechte und Gerechtigkeit mit Außenpolitik zusammen und will so einen Paradigmenwechsel einleiten.

Kinderfrei leben heißt, gegen soziale Erwartungen zu rebellieren - und ist deshalb auch eine feministische Entscheidung. Frauen, die sich gegen Nachwuchs entscheiden, sind die mutigen Vorreiterinnen einer Bewegung, die an Zuspruch gewinnen muss, wenn unser vom westlichen Lebensstil maßlos ausgebeuteter Planet noch länger bewohnbar und lebenswert bleiben soll. Verena Brunschweiger begibt sich als Soziologin und Philosophin, aber vor allem als feministische und ökologische Aktivistin mitten hinein in die Tabuzone unseres gesellschaftlichen Konsenses, der sich ein Lebensglück ohne Kinder nur schwer vorstellen kann.

Was hinter verschlossenen Schlafzimmertüren passiert, bleibt auch der Forschung großteils verborgen. Manche Fachleute tauchen jedoch tief in die Privatsphäre von Probandinnen und Probanden ein, um deren Sexualverhalten zu vermessen. Sie stellen Fragen wie: Wann war dein erstes Mal? Wie viele Mal pro Monat hast du Geschlechtsverkehr? Von wem fühlst du dich angezogen? Wie kommunizierst du, dass du Lust (oder keine Lust) auf Sex hast? In dieser Ausgabe von Spektrum Kompakt werden einige der Erkenntnisse zusammengefasst, die sie mit solchen Befragungen und weiteren Untersuchungen gewinnen konnten.

The term killjoy has been used to dismiss feminism by claiming that it causes misery. But by naming ourselves feminist killjoys, we recover a feminist history, turning it into a source of strength as well as an inspiration. Drawing on her own stories and those of others, especially Black and brown feminists and queer thinkers, Sara Ahmed combines depth of thought with honesty and intimacy. The Feminist Killjoy Handbook unpicks the lies our culture tells us and provides a form of solidarity and companionship that can be returned to over a lifetime.

In Man Up, Cynthia Miller-Idriss, a leading expert on extremism, reveals how an epidemic of misogyny—both online and off—and a patriarchal backlash are driving an exponential rise in mass and far-right violence.
